I do like it, but the chairs and chandelier are way too much for me----too foofy---love the grey cabinets and the beams too--is that chicken wire on the cabinet fronts---like that alot too.

Kind of a cool space!! But I'm not feeling that table and chairs AT ALL.

@stevieb Very nice! Thank you for posting all the pics! I see so many nice rooms, etc., on Instagram that I would like to share here, but I don't know how to get them from there to here. 😄🤔

Very "disjointed". Faux(?) leather seats, inexpensive looking linoleum &/or laminate flooring, faux chandelier. Table way too small for such a large kitchen. Not a fan

I like the looks of this kitchen, but the chandelier has to be replaced.
I know the decorating style these days is a mixture of styles, textures, metals, etc.

However, just my own particular taste, I would like a more rustic looking type of chandelier, or maybe a simpler industrial style

Remember back in the "olden" days for home decorating, you would choose,

Colonial style, Mediterranean, French Provential, or Modern? I just had a flashback...lol

There’s nothing in this room I really like or would want. It’s just not my colors or style.

@faeriemoon I don't care for the table either... I do like the chairs, but would have picked something other than the saddle color leather... They likely thought it worked with the parquet wood flooring, beams and table, but it doesn't work for me... Clearly, they wanted an all neutral space... I might have opted for some color or, as a more neutral alternative, somethng to pull in the grey cabinets...

I like the outsides of the room, but I'd have to replace that chandelier as well as the table and chairs.

I find the juxtaposition of all the elements quite interesting and appealing.

I keep looking? where do you see chicken wire? And you like it alot?

There doesn't seem to be much usable counter space. An island instead of the table and chars might be more practical.

Table yes, chairs no.

@HLP Look at the upper cabinets on either side of the window. They're fronted by wire, which is a somewhat common rustic provincial look for some French (like the armoire below) and even American country pieces. I like the look, but it's one of those things that one either likes or one doesn't. It is sometimes hard to see the wire in posted pictures without enlarging them or opening them in a separate view.

@ahoymate Either you're psychic or have some sort of x-ray vision. How can you know these things?

I see this as an interpretation of the English kitchen-diner concept, combining two definite rooms into one. I like the idea. Very formal dining rooms are passe.

"Psychic"? How about an interior designer/architech?

I love it, with the exception of the chairs, I don't feel like they belong in this setting......

I cannot get past the color combinations, which do not work in my opinion. I do not like the unpainted wood ceiling beams, and the table and chairs in creme and caramel against the gray cabinets and oven hood. If the table and chairs were a deeper shade of gray than the cabinets, and ditto the ceiling beams, I think it would look lovely.

I don't like the hood over the stove. I know it's meant to stand out but I don't like the gold trim. I'm not a fan of the chandalier either. You need real light in a kitchen. One of the first things I did when I purchased my home was take down the medallion and hanging light. I then had recessed lights installed. It was money well spent. No more dark corners.

I love the stove and floors.
