It’s the littlest details in a home that really makes it feel all yours; that’s what I’ve been figuring out the last few years. One of the small changes I made for us this year was adding a dinner bar. It’s a dinner-time size collection for my family - four plates, four bowls, silverware, cloth napkins, and the two candles we use for dinner time.

Having it all here in one place, near the table, makes putting together our dinner table easy, and means I get to enjoy looking at our pretty things. And I find that extends my looking forward to another shared meal.

It’s a small thing, but it’s made a difference and added to my daily joys.
