It's not the *desk* that needs to be interactive and fun; try ditching the chairs and getting stability/yoga balls :) http://www.philly.com/philly/health/kidshealth/Teachers_ditch_student_desk_chairs_for_yoga_balls_.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/28/exercise-ball-classroom-desk-chair_n_2206743.html http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/education/kindergarten-classroom-has-no-chairs http://newadventuresinfirstgrade.blogspot.ch/2011/09/where-it-happens-wednesday.html

Here's an idea for a small bar in a corner that you could close off with beautiful draperies. The second photo shows a pretty bar cart which could hold the necessary items, and the third photo is of a simpler butler's tray.

Hi, an entire wall mirror would look stunning but you're right the maintenance of it would be a never ending task! Have you thought about multi facet mirrors? These are glass framed mirrors and usually have bevelled glass and a contemporary style. Their designs allow them to reflect the light and project it around your home creating a dazzling feel. You could feature multiple of these in your dining room wall. Something like this below: Have a look at our multi facet mirrors page here where you'll find these mirrors. http://bit.ly/1nGVz6r  If you want you could use 2 or 3 to create the appearance of a mirrored wall without covering the entire wall. Hope this helps!

you should take place your dinning table near to the all by which u can get a lot of space to decorate these place much more beautifully.
