"That's the great thing about the dinner table - you experience all sorts of emotions together - you celebrate, have serious family discussions, go through a million different things. There's this game we call 'best and worst' - it was passed on to me by my mum, and I play it with my kids in there. We talk about the best and worst things that happened to us that day, and it gives an understanding of what's going on in everyone's lives."
"One wall is glass and opens up onto the swimming pool, so it's airy and light. The opposite wall is solid, with a marble countertop built into it with cabinets underneath. There's an opening to the kitchen, so I can be in there talking to my family as they start their dinner."
Curtis Stone, an Australian chef and television personality, considers his dining room the most meaningful space in his six-bedroom Hollywood home despite its modest design. The room features a glass wall opening to a swimming pool and a marble countertop built into the opposite wall with kitchen access. Stone's wife Lindsay Price handles all interior design decisions, including wallpapering. The family plays a game called 'best and worst' each evening, discussing the day's highlights and challenges. Stone collects vintage plates and steak knives. The dining room hosts various gatherings from intimate family dinners to large buffets for his restaurant ventures.
