Loners

My home has a dining room but I never once considered using it for that purpose and made it an extension of the office so it has book cases and file cabinets.

I never really valued furniture all that much and as a consequence everything I have was handed down to me by my parents or from my sisters. It's not great furniture. What I'm getting at is that I could not "entertain." I could never have a Super Bowl Party or host Thanksgiving Dinner. This is only something that occurred to me as I got older. Maybe when I no longer have dogs (and I have always had very large dogs) I could begin to think about getting real furniture and creating an environment I wouldn't be embarrassed to have people see. My house is fairly clean and organized--it's not disgusting or anything like that. But it's minimalist I'd guess you'd say. It's mostly about books, workspace, tables, computers, radios, and dog toys and dog beds, etc...
