The Crate & Barrel catalog came today so I leafed through. It took only about 5 minutes.

 

Why do you or don’t you like this room?

 

@lolakimono 

 

thank you so much for notifying me!

I must have done a ”duh!”

picture is now included!❤️

 


Two catalogs I have looked at this week have rooms that look similar to this.

It sure isn’t my taste!

The room does look like an upscale office conference room.  

 

More than that, the responses to your original post sans picture were pretty darn wonderful.  So many kind and funny and clever folks are on these boards!

 

I find C&B items rather sexy, overall, but then they surprise you with something homey like this cute little tea towel:

It does look like a conference room.

 

I don't like the chairs.  The light fixture is too low, IMO.

Now I see the picture, but can honestly say, I don't like anything about the room... Gosh, you'd think there'd be something but alas there's not... That said, I do like the tea towel...

I actually liked it better before you posted the picture.

Snarky responders need not reply. Move along and share your views elsewhere.

There is nothing warm and inviting in the room at all to me. The light is so low..maybe low dim lighting is in....anyway I too like the tea towels.

Re: Crate and Barrel dining room? Like or no?

I knew someone who had a 7th floor condo much like the space.

 

It was really great for parties (plenty of space to rest a drink or hors d'oeuvres).  Seriously.  And it always felt very sophisticated.  There were a couple of interior rooms (still with windows, though) that were more personal.

 

Thanks for all the laughs before the picture came along!

Re: Crate and Barrel dining room? Like or no?

I like many styles and I do like this room.  I might try a different light fixture for my own taste, but the one picture goes well.
