Usually, I am all for books in a dining room. Here though, with these beautiful old volumes, all I can think about is the dust. My allergies are acting up just looking at the picture.

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.
I love that room! wouldn’t want to clean it though 🙂
Oh, I love this look! How lovely it would be to eat in that room. But I agree with you about the dust!
