For some time now, I had been wanting to experience the famous California coast. I finally had a chance to sneak away and make the drive!
Along our drive we stopped at Hearst Castle. I loved three things about Mr. Hearst’s main dining room. First, the table was intentionally made narrow to encourage conversations. Often times in events we want wider tables to allow more room for table top decor; yet we forget about the importance of conversation.
Second, he always used paper napkins, never cloth. He felt this would make all of his guests, no matter their background, feel more comfortable. A great host always considers the comfort of their invited guests.
Lastly, I loved how he fell in love with wooden wall panels that ended up being too short for the walls, but that didn’t stop him from using them…he put them on the ceiling!!
