Eating together is an ideal way to share time on a daily basis. Catch up with the family, exchange stories from your day. A good place to start is a spot that puts everyone at ease, and has comfortable seats for long sessions at the table.
A multi-tasking stool
Being able to pull up an extra seat is always good. A nearby stool is an instant option, and hides away just as quick. Either for a visiting friend (of course, guests get proper chairs), or as a handy extra surface.
Details make a meal
Giving details just a bit of extra attention really helps heighten the moment. Add place mats, decorated napkins and your favorite tableware, and an everyday meal suddenly becomes a special occasion.
