Faux 1950s (replacing real 1950s) meets faux country meets Grecian urns. Note the delete plates over where the original cantilevered stools were mounted. The cantilevered stools are really much more appropriate in a place where the diagonal line is emphasized over all else. Now it’s just a confused jumble.
