Spring Dining

This dining area definitely makes me think of Spring. I like the colors and accessories. I also like the door & windows, and the view outside is nice.

I'm not really a fan of bar height tables and chairs, but it looks nice. The table seems a bit small for 4, but anything larger might overwhelm the space.

Overall, a cheerful pleasant space IMO.

AHHHHH YESSSS, me too @wilma, I completely agree.

I think the bar height table makes the narrow space appear a tad less narrow, perhaps that was the idea...

It's inviting and bright, spacious design makes me see a cheerful space overall.

It's the epitome of Spring and bright and cheery to boot.

What a charming, lovely, and inviting dining space. Due to the soft colors of blue,

yellow, and green, I half expect the Easter bunny, with a basket full of pastel colored eggs, of course, to come hopping through that French door. There is something very pleasant and calming about this small space.

While it looks like a happy space I would not have the table and chairs there. They don't fit well, IMO. Looks like you cannot even open the french door?! I think it would be nicer as an open area.

Pretty! I'm not a fan of bar height tables either.

I love it!

I wouldn't serve a family dinner on that table, but a light lunch for two or tea with my two closest friends- once we're able to visit each other again- would be perfect!

@wilma Very cheerful. I also don't care for bar height chairs but this would be a nice breakfast room or just a place to hang out and have a snack. The table is too small for meals, IMO.

That table is way too small for four chairs. Possibly two chairs. I do like the room with all the windows.

What a cheery place! However, I think I would opt for a small two seat bistro set that would be more appropriate to that small space.

This is so welcoming, pretty, bright, and cheery.

I too am not a fan of bar height tables...they are uncomfortable after about 15 minutes IMO.

Maybe a round table would work in that space.

I always love yellow in a kitchen. So warm and inviting. Lovely

@wilma Pretty breakfast room! If you look closely, the table has two leaves which fold up to enlarge the table which would make seating for four possible. For breakfast or brunch, it would work well in this space. I like it.

It's not my style but is very cute and cottagy (sp).

I love everything about this space/area, it is very appealing and gives off a warm inviting feeling for me. The only thing I would do is to put sheer curtains on the windows.

The space appears to be a lean-to porch or patio that was enclosed and is very cheerful and cozy. I very much like the light from the windows and door and the paint colors. I don't, though, care for the table, chairs or rug and I can take or leave the light. As always, no matter how private, I'd want some window coverings.

This reminds me of my Big Mamma's house. She had her porch enclosed into a little niche as a breakfast room when the grandchildren started coming along. It was so neat, so always impeccably well done and immaculate. She was a great housekeeper and had an eye for design (my mother and sister inherited). It was always cool out there, even on a hot July day. It was always clean and colors were pleasant and sunny.

Such a cheerful, sunny spot with great colors-- well done. The French doors, flowers and window-box like planters give it that airy, sun room feeling.

This is a minor quibble, but I find the dark outline of the rug to be confining and distracting, and somehow "contracts" the small space. An unobtrusive edge would solve that.
