Set for a feast? With place mats, linens, silverware, water goblets, China and chargers?
Or is it bare? Just table or maybe cloth and centerpiece?
-
I have a table cloth, cloth placemats and maybe a centerpiece (at the moment a gold charger plate with candles on it).
-
Nothing but a napkin holder.
-
Placemats and cloth napkins with napkin rings, and a centerpiece. It's all seasonal. Currently wooden placemats with teal-ish napkins and candles.
-
I have a table runner, candlesticks in holders, and a centerpiece of a vase holding my wedding bouquet (I handmade it out of felt flowers and it makes me smile to see it every day!). We almost never eat there, soo it stays pretty nice.
-
My dining table is bare as can be. I think I might set the table scene. Pun totally intended.
-
We eat on it regularly, so we have wipeable place mats and a bamboo lazy susan in the center.
-
Just a fruit bowl in the middle. Too many baby hands to mess things up!
-
Since our dining room table is our only eating table, it isn't fully decorated with place setting. I mix it up, sometimes a runner with candles, or centerpiece, then I have different place mats and napkins that I rotate in.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: same here, just a fruit bowl!
And usually a tablecloth. -
Right now it has salt and pepper shakers on it. Sometimes I have a vase of flowers on it too.
-
I am the odd one out. The half we don't use has random clutter on it. There is a tablecloth and centerpiece though one would assume the centerpiece is just more clutter. Domestic failure here.
-
@cheesetomywhine: You're not the odd one out! We have cork place mats and a vase with fake flowers in the middle...but there's also a bunch of clutter on it at the moment. Off the top of my head I know there are stamps, old mail, a pad of paper, and picture hangers on it right now...
-
Bare, sometimes with mail on it.
-
Half of it houses my laptop and the other half is a make-shift aircraft carrier. This is fairly SOP in our house!
(I think we're talking about a formal dining room table?
We don't have one, but our all-purpose kitchen table currently has my laptop; some sunglasses; the salt shaker; a small fleet of F-16s, Nighthawks, and F-4s; and a cup of lukewarm coffee on it... Guess I need to get off my duff and clean it up!)ETA: The pilot is on his enforced rest period at the moment.
-
Bare. If I leave anything on it DS2 climbs up there and gets into everything.
-
Bare. I have an Ikea bowl/dish/thing in the middle of it that we'll drop random stuff into, but that's it.
-
Let's see... it has the baby carrier, the papers from Xander's last well-visit, baby clothes I haven't put away yet, mail I haven't gone through yet, a picture frame I haven't hung yet, some blankets I took out to go through and haven't put away yet, and random other junk.
-
Does cluttered with junk count? No? It should. Otherwise, bare. I try to keep it clean but it is just such a convenient shelf!
-
A table cloth that needs to be washed and we use it as a catch all. Mail, newspaper, magazines, toys want kept out of reach, snacks, etc.

Our "formal" dining room table? I always keep a table runner and some candles and tray on it. Currently? It has the Sunday newspaper spread all around and the end always houses my diaper bag. I've never kept it set with place-mats and napkins, but it does sound lovely to do so!
