14 Things in This Open Kitchen-Dining Makeover That Just Make Sense for Entertaining
Briefly

In an open kitchen, form and function go hand in hand. Kirsten put a little extra thought (and a little extra style) into everything that would live on the counter. An onyx stand mixer takes center stage, complemented by a black iron fruit bowl and an elegant oyster white Dutch oven. Elevated oil and vinegar dispensers echo the silver hardware throughout, while wood accents throughout add warmth. Whatever she's making for her next dinner party, the process will look just as good as the finished result.
To give her guests the best seats in the house, Kirsten opted for a large dining table with clean lines. She mixed bench seating with slim, modernist black chairs: The contrasting shapes and colors add visual interest and an eclectic vibe. 'This furniture gives us enough room for a fabulous dinner party, is such high quality, and is really comfy to sit on,' Kirsten says. A cozy sheepskin rug does double duty as a seat cushion, and a dramatic candelabra makes a show-stopping centerpiece.
