Not earth-shaking, but thought it was interesting the way One Kings Lane threw together these modern and vintage elements in a vaguely autumnal feeling, neutral table.  The old pottery and jugs blend fine with earthy but clean-lined woven leather chairs.

 

Makes me think of an open-air repast in the Italian countryside...

 

It's just a furniture store set-up, but some good thinking went into it.  Love that metal caddy, casually plonked on the table!

I love the look of this space but boy do those chairs look uncomfortable.

@Oznell    I like the close-up of the table, but for me the chairs create eye clutter.    No idea what I'd use instead of them.

🍷🍞 đź§€   My first impression was dining in the French countryside on an autumn day. 

 

Right now, I'd be happy with a fresh cup of hot coffee and a chocolate filled croissant.

 

It's so very simple yet very charming & welcoming.

I think the scene was created with a good eye and appealing detail. I especially like the faux tree, which I usually don't care for. I also like the vase on the mantle and the chair and pillow placed casually to the side.

 

I would have omitted two of the leather chairs (style and comfort lacking for me) as I agree it looks a bit cluttered. 

 

I like everything about the second charming shot.

 

Thank you @Oznell !!

That table is just soooooo cluttered.  Do people really have houses like this?  When I want to eat, I just take a plate out of the cabinet and put food on it.  I don't do elaborate entertaining, but that table just has too much stuff on it.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

The tablescape is very pretty to look at but far too cluttered and fussy for me.  I like tablescapes that are pretty but kept to a minimum.  That plant, the crock, the bowl of fruit and that basket looking thing are far too big and wide and are just in the way, IMHO!

I like it.  Not too cabin-like, country-retro-1950's, casual but unique and inviting.  We had chairs like that in 1980, with cane backs and padded seats and they were comfy and slightly springy.

 

I have a flour jar in the stoneware style in my more modern kitchen and love it.
