Your work is fantastic. Can you tell me the dimentions of the built in breakfast table nook. - I am wondering how wide of a space I need to dedicate to a built in nook with bench only on one side an end of table. Chairs will go on opposite side and end. Thanks. Do you do work at the Cape? »
A breakfast nook marries a traditional cottage feel (beadboard panel and ceiling) with colorful accents (punchy throw pillow pattern and teal tableware).
18. Perk up your breakfast nook. Give a little extra attention to this space, and you'll enjoy those leisurely summer mornings with extra helpings of coffee, fresh OJ and the paper even more. New seat cushions for comfort (try before you buy — the quality of the stuffing can really make a difference) and a few new accessories are all you need to make a big difference. Go ahead and be a little matchy-matchy — mugs and breakfast plates that coordinate with your pillows makes the small space feel cozy and pulled together.
Go for a high banquette back. The back of this booth creates a partition wall, making the booth a respite from the more utilitarian areas of the kitchen.
The kitchen is the heart and soul of a cottage-style home. Think sunlight streaming in through the windows, vintage-inspired light fixtures, mellow and cheerful colors, and unfussy surfaces. And of course a little beadboard never hurts.
Thanks for asking!
