Let's face it: as much as we'd all like to think of ourselves as the sort of people who throw dinner parties all the time, the formal dining room is mostly obsolete. So what's a modern family to do? You can set up a dining table and chairs in there and then let stuff collect on the table (I'm pretty sure this is the default), or you can take it one step further and transform your dining room into a multi-purpose space that you'll use every day.
One of our favorite ideas? Using bookshelves (built-ins or wall-mounts) to turn your dining room into the library you always wanted and never knew you had.
