There's nothing about this that I don't like. This setup is actually similar to the breakfast area at my grandmother's house, which worked quite pleasantly. This looks upscale and comfortable all at once, like a place you could really live in and enjoy at the same time. I'm particularly drawn to the cabinets--glass! dishes!-- and the marble with the cast iron. Good elements.
And, of course the pug. Perfect.
