The glass door cabinet is also a clever. It keeps platers and knick-knacks under supervision. And you can find what you are looking for easily without opening the door.

On this corner, you can tuck away your pancake and slurp your morning coffee while enjoying the view and scenery of your backyard (if you have any). And to make it better, hang white curtains with some tints of green.
With this idea, Morning news is not the only point of view you or your children have when they breakfast.
