The past decade has seen such a change in the way we live, and our homes have changed along with us. We saw the rise of the Great Room and the fall of the formality in the way we dine. 2016 is shaping up as the year of the “Return of the Dining Room”.

Here are some “not your grandmother’s dining rooms” that have pizazz, comfort, and color!
