The large space on the left side of the "before" photo is where the dining nook is. It seats 4 comfortably but we can seat 6, with 2 extra chairs at both ends, if required. The large oil painting, "Fishermen," purchased in 2001 from the painter, Oscar Salita (with Deanna and Mark in 3rd photo), is the focal point of the nook. Because of its scale and bright colors, it is most appreciated when viewed across the living room.
Our dining table was once a library/study table from Vassar College, Mark's alma mater. Almost 100 years old, it's such a hard working table that it also doubles as our work table where we hatch all our travel adventures and schemes and where I sew occasionally.
