I have people over and actually use my formal dining room too. I have
3 "sets" of china from one grandmother (only one is full, bullion
bowls and all, but doesn't include serving pieces) and they are used
on a regular "company" type basis - even if it's my grown up kids. I
also use newer "china" as everyday dishes. I didn't even realize it
until someone commented.
