I can only hope. It's gorgeous. Son #2 did a fabulous job on the table, and sista did as well with the whole design and execution. Love those leaded glass windows hung on the wall and used as doors on the cabinet.

That being said, I do love a formal dining room, too! Love her new table her son made. It is perfect. Fireplace and chandy really change the look up, too.
