Dining room table set up- what's yours?

Do you keep a table cloth on it?

Runner?

centerpiece or not?

completely bare?

placemats?


Just curious how everyone has their's set up on an everyday basis (not for special dinners/holidays/etc...)

mail and weekly circulars... I think there's a rock garden centerpiece somewhere under all that!

I have a runner & a vase with some silk flowers. I would love to have fresh flowers, but don't have the time or patience to keep watering & changing them.

I have had the table a lot of different ways. I like to change it up after a couple of months. Chat Icon

Thank you for the ideas!

Im torn between setting it up so it looks really nice, or setting it up so that its more functional.

I always have the table pad on it. Most of the time I have a vinyl tablecloth (I know - yuck) because my dd is prone to spilling and I was tired of washing cloth tablecloths every day. Now I can just wipe it down easily.

We bought a table pad to go on top of it to protect the wood. We keep a tablecloth on it - I have various ones for summer/fall/winter. In the center is a crystal bowl surrounded by pillar candles.

Pre-children I used to keep a centerpiece and pair of crystal candle sticks on it.

Post-children, it's bare. Chat Icon My daughter is always climbing the gate to get into the dining room and plays with everything. Chat Icon So for her safety and my sanity, I keep it empty. Chat Icon

Oh, and a really tacky plastic tablecloth with a summertime theme.

We're not very formal people...and we usually eat dinner in the kitchen or outside, so the dining room is pretty neglected.

Tablecloth.

No placemats since DD.

Now, junk, newspapers, toys, books, sippy cups.
