We always love a good chalkboard wall, and this one played nicely with the bright colors by which it was surrounded. We were also fond of the mismatched dining sets and other seating options...

Like these low, cushioned benches. These might be cool for a low-key dining area that is used for a lot of entertaining. We'd switch out the cafe tables for a single longer one, and perhaps use the bench for one side and chairs on the other - lots of room for rearranging and playing around with the look.
