Part of the kitchen counter separates the kitchen from the dining area. The two spaces communicate but remain separate. From the kitchen you can see the wall art and from the dining area you can see the geometric wallpaper.

The yellow Eames dining chairs are a cheerful splash of color. The dining table matches the living room coffee tables, sharing the same design.
