Small spaces can be ideal dining spots with some creativity.

Another dark floor (and dark countertops) with white trimming--this time accented with a colonial yellow. Love the breakfast nook--and those chairs, oh! What a sunny place for breakfast.

A built in bench and Bertoias make a great set here.

8. Use every corner. Even if it's only a tiny spot, every corner is a good spot for a table - especially if that corner has a built-in window seat!

I throw this picture into SO many ideabooks - I love the simple bench with the round table and Bertoia wire chairs. The only thing I'd lose is the TV.

This is a great example of how the modern Bertoias can work well with a cottage style. The mix of vintage and modern here is ideal.

Breakfast nook with Bertoia chairs

doesn't take up much space, nice built-in with table. If we can't have facing banquettes, this would be nice, and with a small round table we could always borrow chairs from dining room if we want to seat more at the little table.

built in at one side of table? to match cabinetry?

am loving bead board style back on these banquettes!! Nice backdrop to pillows. Clean look, clean lines! yum.

eat-in nook "I like the comfy feel of cottage style and like the look when it is not too cluttered or overdone. Cottage differs from Traditional by using more painted wood, brighter prints, more "fun" fabric, and bolder colors. Objects/accessories that I would use have to have meaning to me."
