The Dining Table/Library Table & Gift Guide - Gorgeous Coffee Table Books

Mark D. Sikes

 
I personally do not want to give up a formal dining area. I love having it for dinner parties and holidays. However, I don't use it all the time because here in South Florida, we love to eat al fresco out in the lanai. I also have a breakfast bar, kitchen island, and breakfast room all with seating for more casual meals.

I have my dining table double as a library table just as Mark Sikes has done in the picture above. It is wonderful for a collection of coffee table books, antique boxes, hurricanes, a floral arrangement, and such.

Here is my Florida Chinoiserie version -
