I got another idea that might work. I could get a square hassock to match the furniture and put it on one end, then put the square table in the middle. That would look more balanced.
That's nice that the kids made dinner for you. I admire what you do.
Your hassock idea sounds good. I go for functionality in furniture. Something to put your feet up on. I have a plastic container that I put my feet up on. Hassock sounds better. LOL
I've been packing for a business trip to DC early tomorrow. Needed a bigger suitcase because fall clothes are thicker. Just didn't fit in the smaller carryon anymore. LOL! I hate packing. It seems like I always forget something. Last time I forgot a comb. LOL! They have them at the front desk, but getting down there with wet messed up hair is the trick. LOL
