Elsie + Emma A Beautiful Mess on Instagram: "Our dining room nook renovation is complete! First, the existing stone counter was taken out and replaced — it was placed at a very interesting height and made the rest of the room look like dollhouse furniture! — then we opted for some open shelving and an arch feature.
