The tile floors under the dining room table look bare and cold to me.

Pretty look, but I hate to eat in the kitchen and have only done that for 3 years of married life.  I prefer warm woods.

I use our country kitchen to cook in and do crafts.  Back in the day, our sons had breakfast and lunch on the antique table in the kitchen.  I do crafts and wrap presents during the holiday on the table now.

The table also serves buffet.  It isn't comfortable for an adult to sit at.

I love it.

It reminds me of my house a little.  I have a great room comprised of the kitchen, a dining area, and a family "room" area.

On the other side of  my foyer is the living room and dining room.

This particular photo is similar to my kitchen/dining area.

I'm guessing the crowd who doesn't like a kitchen mess visible to the masses won't care for this arrangement.

I like it! I would just change the wall of pics, don't care for that, and add a nice rug under the table to warm up the space more. Other than that I like it a lot!

I don't mind the arrangement of the kitchen and the placement of the eating area. I'd prefer a warmer tone floor in both areas, or a warm toned rug under the table. I don't like the drapes puddling on the floor or the print on the chairs. Overall, I need more color and warmth.

What @wilma said.....

I like the concept of these rooms, but the doors..........I imagine the left one goes to a laundry, but where does the other one go and where is the refrigerator?

Spacious and very handsome traditional spaces--  both good-looking, and liveable.

Glad you mentioned the British TV show "Escape to the Country" @Kachina624 . I enjoy watching that show too. I don't watch HGTV anymore after I discovered Escape to the Country. I not only enjoy the homes they show but I also like that you learn about the local area/county where the people might be moving to. Some of the old cathedrals/churches they show are beautiful. I also really like some of the local artisans they visit and you can see them working at their craft and the products they produce. I would love to visit England someday.

@cimeranrose   I didn't realize before that show how beautiful the countryside in Great Britain is.  So green and lush with lovely old buildings and gorgeous vistas.
