We rarely use our dining room.
Life is different here.
Restaurant prices are very reasonable.
Usually we eat out with friends.
Or if it's nice, we prefer to eat in our birdcage.
We didn't want two tables.
Our kitchen nook makes a good home office area.
If you're more formal and plan on having a lot of family dinners,
or if you're planning to have dinner parties for friends,
then perhaps two eating areas would make sense.
