I am preparing to repaint my kitchen/breakfast room area. I also need ideas for the "breakfast room" it is the first room we enter and has just become a drop off spot really; used more like a foyer. The small table and chairs I have placed in here are really just some leftovers. I would like to make this room more usable but also with a comfy spot to sit on cooler winter days since I gets so much sun. I would like to have a place for a charging station/ answering machine, mail and showing off the grandkids handiwork. Right now the mail ends up on the kitchen counter. The pictures do not show it, but there is a bar height counter and stools between the kitchen and breakfast room with cabinets overhead. (The counter is too high or the cabinets are too low and end up right in your face, which is something I would like to change, but that is for another day and discussion). I am considering finishing the backsplash in tiles like those behind the stove but just something subtle, no design or different colors. I would appreciate any ideas on colors and furnishings. Thanks!
