Remember when I couldn’t decide on what to do with this room {history here}? Well, moving two chairs and a small table into that space (shopping from around the house) and testing an extra dining area seems to be working well…

We were both a little under-the-weather on Valentine’s Day and opted for a quiet dinner at home. Spicy chicken fiesta soup was on the menu (good for clearing up sinuses) and a reservation at Chez Roeshel with a private table with a barn view during a steady snowfall was romantic…

I don’t know what it is about small cozy areas. I love when this room is a comfortable reading nook but having a little area to dine with a view just felt so special, like creating a fort or having a picnic in the living room.

Looks like the extra dining off the dining room is going to stick around for a while. At least until I change my mind again…tomorrow.  🙂

Enjoy the day! We’re off to a Japanese/Chinese restaurant and the cinema. We’re still going back and forth on the movie selection. Girls:  romance/drama. Boys: action.  What do you recommend?
