Yep, my dining room too! I always put on one of those cheap vinyl tablecloths around Jan. so I can water, plant, re-pot there. Thank goodness DH doesn't grumble about having to eat off a tray in the LR!
I am going to try more WS next year since I seem to be having some luck. Last year we barely had a winter so I was a little worried but this year was colder. Sure would save space in the house and that's at a premium since we "downsized" for retirement!
