Without any ideabooks to gauge your style, or any insight into how nearby rooms are decorated, it’s tough to advise. The bead board and bright color are cottage style and the dark-stained shaker cabs more transitional. I would try and tie them together with an upholstered chair in a pattern that pulls in the green, and maybe have same pattern (or a solid in an accent color also pulled from the fabric) on Roman shades for windows. A round table would look good there.

It’s looking great!

Quick question: what is your chair budget?

I would go with a round back light wood ( maybe the mesh style back ) chair. Love this space to airy, different and fresh looking!! Really nice!!

I’m loving these Chippendale inspired chairs:

Then I would recover them in a vintage/antique fabric.

This is so lovely:

I could spend up to $300 a chair, but would be much happier in the $300 a pair range. I've actually been skimming Craigslist for chairs that would be easy to reupholster. It seems somehow dumb to me to buy a brand new chair and immediately turn around and reupholster it. Jinx, the bird fabric you posted looks fabulous.

I forgot to mention that the kitchen is separated from the dining an living areas by an 8 foot hallway, though you do have a straight view from the living room to this eating area (toward the back of the chair on the left from 40 feet away)

HU-187528210, is this the style your were suggesting? I like these and think they suit the style of the house. The downside for me is that most of them don't look they can be easily reupholstered by a hack like me.

The table is this one from West Elm. The base is black and brass, the top is carrara marble. We did look at round tables (my original preference), but the space is extremely tight and square/rectangular seemed to offer more usable surface than round in the available space.

Wow, just goes to show pictures can be deceiving on my monitor! The base of the table in the OP looks charcoal on my iPad. I’d have never guessed it was brass.

I get that about recovering a brand new chair, but it’s hard to find upholstery nowadays with traditional patterns.

I like the idea of finding used ones. Good luck! :)

Thank you, Roarah. I have described the paint color as "relentlessly cheerful." I figure if I ever want to sell, I can paint the walls Revere Pewter and have a safe, broadly acceptable kitchen. In the meantime I can please myself.

@cawaps. That’s the chair I was thinking!!! Loveeee. Maybe you an find that chair used somewhere and reupholster. I really really like that style. You hit it on the button. That’s the exact one I pictured
