My dining room situation: clean and minimal. Decorating small spaces can be a challenge, but I do get much needed practice in my 650sq. ft. home. Finding ways to separate my living room from my kitchen from my dining room while working in a limited open space city condo can be challenging. So, it's a daily goal of mine to get in the habit of putting things away immediately. This way I can keep everything organized and in it's proper place. Procrastination is the devil, don't let it take over your home. Instead, let all the wooden furniture/fixtures do all the talking.
