Classic Coastal Colonial Renovation - Breakfast Nook
http://www.michaelrobertconstruction.com

The custom half-circle window in the eating area is a unique focal point that drowns the kitchen in morning light and gives uninterrupted views of the backyard. The wall in front of the window was doubled, so that the surrounding sheetrock could be returned into the window with a rounded corner bead. This, combined with the arched entry and barreled ceiling, gives the area a real Colonial feel, as if it was original to the home. The built in bench provides extra cozy seating.

What kind of wood floors? »

Michael Robert Construction These are oak, number 2 - it's a "less desirable" level of flooring, but I chose them because I wanted to variation and knots that many people see as "imperfect." We used three coats of water-based poly instead of oil based to avoid getting any yellow or red hues. The result is beautiful - a light, natural looking floor.

Michael Robert Construction This one is Restoration Hardware- victorian hotel pendant. We bought it at their outlet in Pennsylvania, and purchase another for our master bedroom on Craig's List.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
A custom half-circle window was installed in the breakfast nook. The window makes the space feel larger by providing a view straight into the backyard and allowing plenty of morning light to filter through. A built-in bench provides extra seating and makes the space feel cozy.
