interiors // strange or smart?

 via design manifest

this sitting area is begging to be recreated in our would-be eat-in space. a friend of mine has a setup like this; instead of having two dining tables to choose from, they have a couple of loveseats right off the kitchen. perfect for entertaining visitors while dinners parties are prepped, lounging by one of the greatest natural light sources in the house, and (thinking waaaaay ahead here) ideal for the chitlins to entertain themselves nearby while mom (or likely dad at our house) makes dinner.

what do you think? strange or smart?
