Bungalo Eating Nook
http://maughandesign.com

We opened the entry to this Bungalow nook just a smidge, making it easy to slip in and out. The custom mahogany table has long drop leaves to make it easy to reach the lift-top storage in the built in bench seating.

what are the dimensions of this space? »

Maughan Design & Remodel Hi ektapatel - thanks for your question. This project was done several years ago, and I no longer have access to the exact dimensions. Though I can tell you that the room's width is approximately 7 feet. The table overhangs a little deeper across the benches than most, so we designed 12" wide dropp-leaf edges that fold down to allow easier access to the in-bench storage. I usually plan bench seats to be 18" - 24" deep depending on the scale of the nook and whether there will be pillows. It is nice to have the table overhang the seats by an inch or two for a comfortable reach.

Maughan Design & Remodel Hi Nicole. A finish carpenter can easily build benches like these for you. We have a dedicated finish carpenter at Maughan Design if you're located near the Portland area. Please give us a call at 503-241-4049 if you'd like to discuss your project directly. Thank you!

Bond Girl Add an incline to the back to make more comfortable if you are going for a built in. Also consider a local upholsterer. They usually have lots of experience with banquets (from restaurant work) and know the right incline to make it a little more comfortable. There are lots of nice vinyl fabrics out there that make upholstery an option.

Maughan Design & Remodel Hi, dwbackus! We used the Devine paint series for this project. While I no longer have access to the records, you might try Devine Cashew or Devine Teak for that rich, caramel hue.

I also recommend Benjamin Moore's quality. (Thanks, Shabby Nest!)

Sounds like this is just about a foot wider than the space we are imagining. I like the idea of a custom made table with drop leaves-- great idea for accessing storage beneath bench seats.
