@motherhoodcomeshome Having a marble dining table with three young kids might seem odd, but what the table’s surface lacks in practicality, it makes up for in shape. The hexagon seating creates a great conversation flow, and the mats wrap around the angles like the perfect hug, defining our spots and giving us all the room we need. When it’s not in use, the marble surface reflects the light and opens up the whole room. I love the element, and honestly, de-etching and cleaning it is so gratifying. Plus, I got it 90% off secondhand! I guess the moral of my story is: do you. If you love something, you’ll find a way to make it work. And if other people think you’re ridiculous, let them. #HomeDecor #MarbleTable #FamilyDining #SecondhandFinds #InteriorDesign #UniqueFurniture #MomLife
