Dining Room
I LOVE how these little nooks look, particularly the one along the side of the door. I would love to have this/these in my hallway! There may be use for it in other rooms too like the dining room. Having those six nooks beside the door in the dining room and door to the living room and perhaps somewhere else like the entryway would bring some repetition and bring the house together.
Nice wall paper.
The Slab Door Another modern detail is the slab door with top and bottom pivot hinges in lieu of the typical butterfly type of hinge. The pivot hinges are installed in the floor as well as in the head of the door frame in lieu of the door jambs and are used to create a door that is flush with the wall. When the doors are closed, the wall has a more uniform and monolithic appearance, a modernist design trait for sure. And when the door is open it's as if a large panel, one of many that the wall is made of, is what opens. Architecturally, the door becomes a piece of the wall instead of being something entirely separate from the wall, as in traditional architectural design. In fact, whereas in traditional architecture the door is a celebrated architectural element that announces the connection between two rooms, in a modern aesthetic the door becomes subservient to the plane of the wall. These hinges and the work to set them are generally more costly than a standard hinge and its installation. A set (typically three or four) of good-quality butterfly hinges will set you back around $50; a set of pivot hinges will likely be $200.

It looks like this window opens up to the dining room from the kitchen. It is interesting but I don't think I would want it for my house.
The pressed algae co-ordinates with the colour scheme and looks nice.
Interesting plates that co-ordinate well with the rustic theme.
Interesting but probably wouldn't have it in my house.

I like the pictures.
I love the flowers in the bottles, how green is carried out through this home and the three butterfly pictures not he diagonal. I also like how this house has a kind of nature theme to the decor without it being beach.
I like the bird photos and the green background.
There doesn't look like much wasted space between dining room and kitchen although I would like more space between table and window to not rely on bench for seating.
I like that there is storage in the dining room, although it will require dusting. I could display plates behind glass and store other things behind the plain doors. The lack of handles prevents it being too busy visually.
I like the under the seat lighting.
Stairs aren't awkward.
Outdoor dining connected to kitchen.
Interesting little nook.
I love this dining room! I think it works because of the contrast between the rough and straight lines/edges; the large expanse of white nearby acting as a negative space and contrasting with the wood; the table runner, vase and plant breakup the wood on wood look; and because of the brown-orange, purple and green/yellow colour scheme. I would probably also want some more purple, green and a to lesser extent yellow splashed around nearby as well.
