There are so many possible looks when it comes to choosing a table and chairs for the dining room or for the kitchen. Modern or mid-century, vintage or traditional they all look great and add a warmth to these rooms. I have been looking for a chair for my studio and the one in the first photo would be perfect! Such a fun vintage piece that would fit so well at my work table. I especially love the natural wood I am showing in these pictures but painted wood is always beautiful as well. I have a stained top on my wood dining room table, with painted legs so I get the best of both!

Such a pretty home from Veranda Magazine featuring open spaces and gorgeous white decor! This great room has a living room, kitchen and dining room all in one large space. Now this does pose some advantages and some disadvantages but personally I love an open room like this.

My kitchen and dining room are all open with the living room closed only by a small wall, so basically it is a pretty open space. Now when I cook (swearing while I mess up a meal) it is open for all to see. I am possibly the messiest cook around..so this means pots and pans everywhere (disadvantage) but I can cook and chat with the guests at the table and not miss out (advantage). They can also come and stand by the island and help and chat as well (advantage). There is more light in all parts of the room (advantage) but finding any alone space is a bit harder because no matter where you are someone is not far away (disadvantage)......mmmm...so what you think? Do you prefer an open space or closed rooms?
