Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Something we had almost stopped believing in ourselves: our table has arrived, and I actually managed to get the chairs relatively quickly (for everyone who isn’t afraid to order design classics online, I warmly recommend the website CASA Finest Living from Berlin – this site will be my downfall, just incredibly cool pieces! Plus an incredibly friendly service by phone combined with lightning-fast shipping – from me, a full 5 stars!):
We are very excited – although it might still be necessary to replace the tabletop. This one is made of old oak and unfortunately has a few defects (hollow areas in the wood), and we don’t yet know how these will develop. We’ll see. It would really break my heart if we had to give it back. It’s basically made of just two oak boards – and you don’t often get them in this size, usually several boards are laminated for a table like this.
But finally, the lamps match the table – before, they just seemed way too oversized.
The kitchen is now finally completely finished! Only the alignment and the joint gaps will be adjusted again in a few months (once everything has settled). I’ll write a separate report about that here in the kitchen subforum. It really looks great!

The chairs are super comfortable – otherwise, we wouldn’t have bought them. Form follows function. It doesn’t help if you have really stylish chairs but end up in pain after sitting for 30 minutes.
If you ever see them: give them a try. At first, I only liked them for their looks and was quite skeptical about whether they would be comfortable. We got to test them for the first time at a garden exhibition and were amazed at how comfortable they actually are.
We’ve had the chairs in light gray in our barista bar here at the office for two years now, so I’ve had plenty of chances to try them out. Without a seat cushion or the sheepskin covers we now use, the cast aluminum can feel a bit cool – although this is much less noticeable for us because of the underfloor heating compared to the café, where the chair sits on an unheated floor. But honestly, that’s the only drawback you could really mention.

Okay – comfort seems to be settled now, although I do have some doubts that just using sheepskins would be enough for a bottom that is under strain for long evenings. A small additional cushion would probably help. And the chairs really are beautiful!
I’m also curious about the armrests. We have, or rather had, two chairs with armrests only on the narrow ends, while the others, matching these, didn’t have armrests. I replaced mine on the narrow end immediately with one without armrests because every time I got up, I had to push the entire chair back. That annoyed me. Now I can simply slide off sideways. It’s even more inconvenient with many chairs that have armrests on the longer side—then the neighbor has to move their chair back each time too. This is not a criticism, I’m just interested in hearing about others’ experiences. Am I just overcomplicating things, or do others find it the same?
