Sweet indeed.

I tried once to place a very small table and a chair in my pantry, but soon discovered it was tricky to get to the cabinet with the cat food without moving the chair each time. So I gave up the idea. Still would like a nook like above tho.

That looks so homey and cozy. I’d do a lot of reading there. :)

What a lovely place to sit and read, make lists, scroll through posts, or simply wait with your feet up during the last 10 minutes before the cookies come out of the oven.

Awwww, so sweet.

So welcoming.

I’m not sure I’d have an ottoman quite so large; a footstool would do me just fine.

I really like the idea and love the chairs, but it looks very crowded to me. One chair and a much smaller ottoman and a taller, more useful chairside table would be a more pleasing arrangement with some breathing room.

How inviting!!! LOVE!

Lovely spot but I agree that it looks a little cramped. Also assuming that that is a non-functional/unused fireplace. I love the idea of having a comfy spot to sit and read or browse while waiting for things to bake, boil, etc. Would also work for those who like to "visit" while I'm cooking to keep them out from underfoot!

While the photo is very charming and inviting, I shudder at the thought of upholstered furniture in my kitchen -- very much a working kitchen.

It's enough of a pain removing splashes from my collection of ceramics on the wall next to the counter, and then to have to worry about odors and oopsie moments with upholstery would be too much.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Perfect place for using performance upholstery fabric on the chairs & ottoman.

While I love the idea, that corner is too tight for me...my first impression was upholstered pieces that close to a fire could be a hazard! Maybe if the fireplace is a fake electric or sterno one. We have a wood stove, and no way could we sit that close and enjoy it....let alone getting the wood in and the ashes out.

That just doesn't do it for me. Everything is too close together. The oversized footstool is right up against the chairs, the chairs too close to the fireplace and the island too close to the seating area. In the couple minutes looking at it I've already banged my head on the mantel getting up from the chair, knocked the vase to the floor and tripped over the rug going into the kitchen. I'd have that seating area if there were more space, but it just feels crowded.

Schoolhouse, your nook is so cozy. I would find another place for the cat food.

In our first house, we had a long galley kitchen that opened into a large square eating area. When house hunting I once saw a sofa in a kitchen, and I resolved I'd have one too. I had a round table in the eating area, and a sofa.

Best thing I ever did. Everyone gathers in the kitchen, and even moreso if you have a sofa there!

Maybe they don't cook in that kitchen. Looks like a.maintenance nightmare.to me, and I'd much rather cook than clean!

Also way too crowded. How does one get into and out of the.chairs?

Plus the chair on the left has no light source so reading is out.

One chair and a smaller ottoman might work.

Very pretty. I think it would look better with one chair on right with a small footstool. Table and floor lamp look crowded too. Wonder what rest of room looks like.

Nice too see some color.

I've always dreamed of a kitchen with a wood stove or fireplace. I once looked at a house that had a brick wall between the kitchen and living room with a fireplace that opened on both sides, one to the kitchen and one to the living room. That fireplace is almost a carbon copy of the one I have in my family room adjacent to the kitchen, down to the angled placement, rug at hearth, comfy chair with ottoman, brown wood open leg side table and floor lamp with round shade. Mine has a brick raised hearth though, and the bricks on mine are natural reddish brown. Only one comfy chair by my fireplace, the other one is an antique rocker. I'm thankful I can at least see my fireplace from the kitchen, and go over there and sit if I want . . .One of the few things I like about my current home.

Noticed when enlarging, fireplace has magnolia or rhododendron leaves in the firebox, the chairs appear to be slip-covered, and the ottoman is on casters

Love it but agree that the ottoman needs to be smaller.

💛

Very pretty but I agree the ottoman is too big, and the huge plant is out of place and would be in the way.

We put a fireplace in the kitchen with a bench seat built into the back of the island. One of my favorite places, especially on cold mornings.

It's an adorable space...but for me I have several other places I would prefer to be in my home other than looking at the kitchen...even when my offspring were underfoot they were taught the kitchen is a working place not a place to play.

It looks like it must be a tiny house or a tiny apartment. I do like the size of the ottoman, however, since it functions as an ottoman for two chairs at once plus as a coffee table.

Yeah for all we know it could be a small apartment and that could be the living room!
