A petite breakfast corner? I would replace the builder's special boob light with a chandy to swag over to a table in that left corner. Keep the scale small enough for the door to swing open.

Thanks for the ideas. The boob light is already gone and replaced with the cab lights seen in the kitchen pictures. Do you think 30 inches would be enough for that space? And would it be ok for the back of the Nook to go above the window?

I would not put anything there at the moment until the decision on the island stools has been made. Once the stools are there, you can get a better feel for what - if anything to put there.

A small kitchen desk area

A couple of small comfortable chairs with a small table in between.

Either some cabinetry with a cushion on top for seating. Or a pet feeder pull out. Either way something small. Minimal. And not passed the window sill.

First I'd remove those two items (whatever they are) from the view, then I would put a tall plant on the left hand side and leave it at that.

I agree with decoenthusiaste: a cozy table for two toward the left side of the nook....
It’s more comfortable to sit with feet on the floor than to perch on a stool at the bar counter.
Leave the counter stools for the kids.

I like the banquette idea but not really enough room and window is too low but either a small 30-32" table (tulip maybe?) and chairs or a counter height table and two chairs would be good in that space.

In the first photo the banquette goes above the window. You could do a bench if you don't like that.

What about 1 single comfy chair placed at an angle in the corner with a little side table, maybe floor lamp in behind or opposite side of side table, maybe on 29” wall, side table under the window. Nice place for someone to read, have a coffee, look out window, or to visit with you while you are preparing a meal?

Love that plant hanger someone posted, very interesting/ pretty

A chase lounge or a one-armed sofa. I’m always looking to sit down when waiting for cookies and frequently burn things when I leave the kitchen.

I would do a small 30" table for 2

People have suggested a tulip table - one of my favorites, but there are others. This may be a nice look
