Breakfast Nook/Formal Dining Area

[SuzySunshine]

If you have both and use both, or at least have tables in both, how big is your breakfast nook table?

I am looking for online sources for square tables, I'll take any and all suggestions for online furniture!

Thanks!

Our eat-in area is fairly large. We have a solid wood on metal base dining room table in there that seats 8-10. It's casual, but large and I love it! It's also where we do kid projects, so I love that we can shove those to one end while working and have dinner or lunch. In our dining room, we currently have our old kitchen table that expands to seat eight. I think I'd like to get a round, eventually, that seats right. If we have a large dinner party, I'd probably either bring a card table into the kitchen to add on, or just split the party for dining.

I should add - when we were in IL, I planned to get the biggest dining table possible because we were close to our large family

How many do you need the eat in kitchen table to seat?

Well it really only has to seat 4 I guess since that is just us. I'd prefer 6 or 8 I guess because then we wouldn't have to use the formal table if it was just a few guests but I'm not sure a table that seats 8 will fit in the space we have...

What about a table with a leaf? It can be set for four on a daily basis, and expand from there.

Something like this?

That is kind of what we have now - maybe it is the right size/shape for the room, we just need a new set its been stripped and refinished so many times, several of the chairs are wobbly and unfixable, the list could go on and on. Hmm...

We have a 60" round table in our breakfast nook. Our formal dining room table fits 10 (2 at the head and foot, and 3 on each side). We also have a bar that seats 4. Most of the time we end up eating at the bar.

We have a round pedestal table that seats 4 in our breakfast nook, then a larger table that we use for family dinners, etc. in the dining room. I don't remember where we got our table because it's been so long, but I know they have lots of cute tables in a similar style at Pottery Barn.
