My once-breakfast nook is now my little print studio, and my dining table is often covered with works-in-progress, so I’ve been eating most meals on the floor of my living room lately. And while it’s convenient (Jake swoops in to eat anything I’ve dropped), it’s just not very civilized.
So I decided to carve out a little dining area – complete with proper table – in my living room. In a move that’s very unlike deliberate-home-decorator me, I went to IKEA and bought the first non-melamine, small table under $40 I saw. This partly had to do with the fact that I was in a crowded IKEA on a Sunday (I suddenly remembered why, when you’re self-employed, you schedule regular tasks like grocery shopping and IKEA treks for a weekday morning), and partly to my own knowledge that if I gave myself a chance to think too hard about the purchase, I would.
It all worked out. The nook is cozy enough for meals, and functional enough to do some work. I can watch the pedestrians jaywalk outside my window – or watch yet another episode of “Without a Trace” (who knew that show had so many episodes?).
Plus, I moved Jake’s favorite rug underneath, ensuring that while I work or dine here, I’m never alone.
While that is a freakin adorable table and nook area, I think my favourite part would be Jake… :D
Does that mean you’re using your previous table as a art decor piece now?
I love the look of Jake! :-)

I mean Little (civilized) dining nook | Jen Hewett, printmaker, surface designer, textile artist is kinda vanilla.
You should look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create
news headlines to grab people to open the links.
You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about what
you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit
more interesting.
