Dining Room Love

I sort of unfairly neglect dining rooms. It's not a conscious decision, but I guess because I've never had an apartment large enough to have it's own dining room, and rarely entertain, that I always sort of just passed them by. In our new apartment we don't have a separate dining room, but there is a "nook" large enough to seat 6, which may encourage us to have more friends over for dinner. There are definitely a few dining rooms here that I could see myself in....
adore, adore, adore those chairs.  gorgeous...
what do you think of the black and white scheme going on in this one?

This one is more modern than I usually go for but I really like how effortless and streamlined it looks.
