We bought a house 34 years ago that was built in 1918, so it had a formal 'dining room.'
We kept it like that for a few years until the kids came along, and then it was a 'toy room.'
Then we added on and during the process, it became the 'catch all room.'
For 10 years, it then became the dog maternity ward, the room where the moms had their puppies.
After my accident, when I decided I could no longer be the kind of breeder I wanted to be, my husband turned it into the most wonderful, awesome, near-perfect- for-me sewing room.
Through all these changes, it has always been a room where things are eaten!
