One of our favorite dining rooms on AT isn't really a dining room at all, it's more of a breakfast nook. There's something about the black and white checked linoleum, the paint color, the sun coming in the window, the cat... We'd love to sit there with a cup of coffee and a good book.

The natural lighting is spectacular! And that's a beautiful blue on the walls!
What are those mesh things hanging? Are they pendant lights? I like them.
like the cat...
i want to sit there
That is a great blue working very well with black & white floors just beautiful.
It's perfection, in its own small way.
I loved this house tour especially this nook. Such a comfortable area to enjoy a cup of tea.
its a beautiful place to be....
Still one of the best IMHO. Modern and chic, yet quaint and charming at the same time. Beautifully restrained, but not strained or pretentiously minimalist. I especially love the use of bed as room divider/art piece; looks like a wonderful place to wake up.
Lydia seems to have mastered the decorating version of transcendental engineering; the studio seems larger on the inside than on the outside.
very lovely!
I like the storage cabinet, and the peek inside! Clever idea, using the fabric behind the glass panes.
love it.
That is an awesome shade of blue.
I love the glass cupboard doors and the crisp white paint and that it still feels cozy. Such a nice mix of modern and classic elements.
Oh, wow. I just clicked through the full house tour and the adorableness you see here is continued throughout the space. I so want to move in there!
Love the choices.

KTG, what are you going to make them out of? I would love to find out more about what they actually are. BTW.. the whole apt. is beautifully done, especially the color choices.
I think this picture shows what a couple well-placed plants can do for a room. Looks great.
Perfectly tranquil. What a lovely, calm, well-thought out space.
Ooooohh love it!
I love this shade of blue with the bright white trim. The entire space looks so bright and cozy.
look so cosy..i like this dining very much..sweet & simple
This question has probably been asked and answered before but I have to ask - where is the table from? I've been looking for something like that for months. Thank you.
This whole thing is so relaxed and unpretentious. Gorgeous. Well done!
does anyone know where those black dining chairs are from? i love the lines.
