David Whitney The benches are built in; I designed them and they were built by the finish carpenters. The homeowners provided the table.

Why do Arts & Crafts houses so rarely have curtains? »
· Comment · 5 months ago
David Whitney I'm not sure I'd generalize and say Arts and Crafts houses rarely have curtains. But the biggest difference between the houses I design and the historical precedents we're inspired by is that our new houses have much more window area, in order to take advantage of light and views and because technology makes it possible. This photo is a nook at an eating area expressly designed for a view to the site. Plus, we didn't want to get maple syrup on curtains.

Manufacturer of the windows? Thank you. »

David Whitney Those were Norco windows. Norco has since been bought by Jeld-Wen; the equivalent windows are now called Jeld-Wen Siteline windows.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Shawn Gauthier to Kid Spaces: Making Room for the Brood
Booths. Another idea is booth style, which may work better depending on your space requirements. This still has the ability to fit more people than your standard table and chairs, especially in tighter areas.
My favorite breakfast nooks are the smaller ones that feel extra cozy — little benches tucked into a pocket of space with a view into the backyard. A spot like this is where I would spend every morning with a cup of coffee, my legs curled up and my laptop in front of me.
added by Lisa Frederick to So Your Style Is: Arts and Crafts
Style Secret: Mica and Tiffany LightingArts and Crafts puts less emphasis on accessorizing than some styles, and decorative flotsam is minimal. That means lighting, as one of the only real accents, needs to pop. Both mica and Tiffany (or Tiffany-inspired) glass lamps and fixtures fit the bill: mica for its organic feel and rich glow; Tiffany glass for the proud way it wears its craftsmanship. Although those two lighting styles are Arts and Crafts icons, you could get away with lighting that checks the other boxes (warm-tone metals; clean lines; simple, geometric forms). Look closer: In keeping with the utilitarian lines and lack of curves that define the Arts and Crafts look, fixtures generally have clean, squarish or angular profiles. Here, the pendant complements the horizontal and vertical planes of the breakfast nook, yet its sloping sides break the tension and prevent a static feel.
4. Built-in seating. What could be more useful than a built-in banquette that eliminates the need for a separate table and chairs? Craftsman kitchens often feature a setup like this in a breakfast room or nook.

Nice concept with dinette area linked to kitchen; the area behind kitchen could be used for bedrooms or mushroom or storage even.
