Love this space! If you are okay with a counter height dining set...Kmart (yes, Kmart) has a great real wood one. They have them set up in the stores here in the Milwaukee WI area. It's very inexpensive and well made (just check out the rating and the reviews):

My 13 yr old daughter and I live in a 980 sq. ft. apt and I really am quite minimalist and even made a wood sign that says less is more.

Very well done! Love the pig, adds a touch of whimsy. Not everyone likes their place to look so "lived in" (I am one of them). Love it.

2 adults and 1 child in a 980 sqft rented apt....it's nicely open concept w/a eat in kitchen and a breakfast bar too. :) If I were alone, I could easily get a small studio......but then, I am the minimalist of the family.

This is the info that was in the full article:

" The wall behind the stove is clad in a CNC-routed MDF panel that he painted a pale aqua to complement the tones of the wood cabinetry."

LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen. I think what some are referring to as oversized, I call statement pieces. I live in a cozy 980 sq ft apt and I have a huge sectional and a ginormous leaning mirror in it and would have it no other way! Besides, smaller = easier to clean! Great job!!

Very cool..........love the exposed brick on either side of the window. You just have to be creative and use the space to it's fullest. Great job!

Good luck with all these suggestions. Here is (IMO) a gorgeous kitchen.

This is also a place to see many gorgeous kitchens:

Crate & Barrel has some very colorful textiles a nice sized rug would do wonders to "break up" the sea of white on the floor.
