Divided panes or not on exterior door? - Love this and we are in the process of replicating it. In this picture the exterior door is ajar and I can't tell if the door has divided panes like the windows or not. Can you tell me and, if so, do the lines in the door match up with those in the door? If mine don't, do you think it matters? Thanks so much and congratulations on a beautiful home. »
Heydt Designs Yes the door has the same divided panes. The bottom of the door has a solid panel to match the solid panel under the windows. You can see it better in the photo of the front of the house. This room is on the right side as you view the house from the street. Hope that helps!
How deep is seat? - Approximately how deep is the banquet seat? I'm trying to figure out if I need to add depth to account for the space lost by the back cushion. Thanks! »
Heydt Designs Yes, add space for the cushion. The seat itself, from the back of the cushion to the edge of the seat should be about 18" if you have the room for it. If not, you can go down to 16", but less than 16" starts to get uncomfortable. Part of it depends upon the firmness of your back cushion. The firmer the better. Soft down cushions will disappear and not take up as much depth, but they also won't give the right support and will generally just feel in the way. Hope that helps!
What color should be a banquette? - My kitchen cabinets and floor are in the color of red cherry (wood) the walls are light grey with off white trimmings. Should the banquette be in off white because the red cherry color would be too dark? »
Heydt Designs Generally the cabinet finishes would match, although that does sound like a lot of cherry, so I'd probably tend to match the banquette to the trim color. Hope that helps!
caumais Merci beaucoup!!! Thank you very much, this is helping me a lot now I can start my project that I was wondering for so long. Where is the best place to do the opening on the banquette for the ventilation ? At the moment there is a trap on the floor that will be covered by the banquette, should it be on the top of the back of the banquette or on the bottom facade of the banquette? Thanking you in advance .
Where do I order the back cushion? - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this breakfast nook bench. I want to do a similar bench for our breakfast nook, but I have no idea how to go about ordering the back for the bench. Is this a special cushion or it it a wood frame covered with fabric? Who makes something like this? Thank you so much! »
Table - Does anyone know what this table is made out of and it I could order restaurant grade/style legs like these and use a silestone top on top? I am worried about the weight and how to attach the top. Thank you! »
Heydt Designs The interior designer Benjamin Dhong can provide you more information about the table. You can find him here in Houzz, or for a faster response, email him directly at ben@bd-interiors.com Best of luck! Leigha
cjoyglam If we use throw pillows the edge of the windows could jet into someone's back? Here is a pic...what do you think? The fabric is an indigo weaved vinyl.
Breakfast nook. Want to make sure my dimensions are correct - So I think I understand that the bench is 4'6" x 6'6". How deep and how high should I make the bench seat (including the allowance for back seat cushion also). And how much extra space should I allow between seat and table? Table dimensions? I sure wish you were in my area! Thank you for sharing your design! »
schepke Can you tell me how high the front of the bench seating is off the ground and then how high the back cushion is...looking to build one and this design is my absolute favorite! Beautiful kitchen...
Heydt Designs The bench is about 6-1/2' long. There's a door to the patio plus a wall space where the living room fireplace lives, and a desk built in next to that. You can't really see the wall in this photo, but you can see the desk partially. Hope that helps!
Heydt Designs Hi There. So sorry for the delay on this. The room is 17' x 11'-6", not including the nook. The 17' dimension is along the window wall where the sink is. The nook is another 4.5' deep. Best of luck! Leigha

The built-in breakfast nook enjoys lots of natural light, thanks to the expansive windows and transoms. There is storage underneath the banquette. The kitchen conveniently opens to the front patio, where the family loves to enjoy meals al fresco.
A shaggy ottoman with hooves (previous photo) adds unique texture and shape to the room.Hooves adds all the whimsy a room needs. This breakfast nook bench with deer legs creates a warm and fuzzy, endearing feeling, kind of like Bambi does.
4. Be daring in a small dose. Want to push the style envelope a bit? Experiment with a small piece, like a stool, a side table or an ottoman, and you won't have to worry that it will overwhelm the room. Try a bench with interesting legs, a stool in a bright, glossy finish or an ottoman covered in an animal print or a modern geometric.
Make the most of storage potential. That space underneath built-in banquettes is prime real estate. Use it to hold less-used linens, cookware, art supplies and more.
