Diann I love this, would have liked something like this in my guest bedroom but didn't realize how low our windows were going to be when our home was being built.
A built-in bench offers an ocean view. A table can be added to create a casual dining space. Soft limed oak flooring and glass pendants complete the coastal look.
For a simple kitchen lounge that doubles as storage, consider a built-in window seat. This provides comfy seating and a spot where you can hide wayward items.
I don't like this so much, but this is what the present design calls for. Note pop-out on closest side. Drawers underneath are good, but this is why we need some sort of right angle.
