I'm considering turning our breakfast nook into a pretty little seating area for the same reason. We tend to use our dining room table (which is right next to the kitchen) for eating most meals, so the sunny breakfast nook gets little use except as a dumping ground for books and papers and mail and keys. I think a seating area could work well if you have the space for it. Can you post a picture of the layout of the room?

Here's a sunny example to a little seating nook in a kitchen. I love the red chairs and small area rug to delineate the lounge.

Terrific idea! Can't wait to see pics of the space...

Absolutely! This is your home, do what works for you!
Enjoy your new favorite spot in the house.
