Not my cup of tea but it looks like a room that provides lots of enjoyment.

Such a warm and happy place to have meals! at this time of year with light fading fast in the Northern Hemisphere, it is so important to be with family and friends around table with blazing candles and a chandelier!

It is cozy and inviting, but versatile for all seasons. ...Hooray for the lovely table too! It's off-topic, but I bought those placemats at Pier 1 (the ones that match the table runner, I mean) and split them open to make pillowcases out of them. The actual pillows were like, $30 or something, and I made them out of the same (looking) fabric for $3.99 each!

...not that you asked :)

Such a cozy little room, however, I think the colour of the picture frames and chairs is too dark for this small area. Instead of the 2 pictures on the wall, I'd maybe place a very large bright colored painting as well, but I love colour of green on the walls and that table is wonderful!

It isn't my style at all, but I find it incredibly cozy. I just wish I were in that table having a nice dinner ...;)

Very cozy! Love the red chandelier. Like the table better with just the place settings and runner, the wood adds more warmth.

Thank you all for commenting.
I agree with you, the chairs should be lighter, but for time being they'll have to do....
