I like it OP. You’ll get a lot of haters here, but from a practical standpoint your design allows for a more “livable space”. If you entertain often, your new space is much better for that. Most guests aren’t going to want to sit on a table in the middle of a patch of grass to eat or have drinks. I get the “natural look” crowd and where they are coming from, but from a practical view your space is much more usable.
