   Maybe it is library table and not dining room?

   I would love this library! Although, you are right, the dust would be immense.

   I gauge my reaction, so to speak, by my immediate reaction to the room and my first thought was, “Oh, I love it …” followed by, “I’m not really sure …” I think as the bookcases are so high, unless the room opens out into being a much larger area than we can obviously see here, I would find those high shelves filled with books overwhelming, a feeling that they are about to topple over onto you, a feeling I get when we go into B&Q and look for timber or other things, which are all propped up and are very high. But I like the eclectic mix of things here.

   Never mind the dust and the height, I totally love it.

   Oh, I love this look! How lovely it would be to eat in that room. But I agree with you about the dust!
