Our breakfast room is really tiny...it's really more of an empty corner at the end of the kitchen. Not great for feeding our families when they come into town. So, I've been wanting a banquette that would give our breakfast room more space and seat more if we squoosh together.
Ta Da! My wonderful husband agreed and it was installed today.
It is still awaiting cushions (to be finished shortly by the upholsterer).
You can kind of tell from this photo that he tried to match the face of the banquette to the style of our kitchen cabinets.
From above with storage lift-tops open.
I couldn't believe he even finished out the insides!
I'd say we gained about 2 more feet in the kitchen, making the space feel a lot smaller. Now I have storage for all of my serving dishes that I rarely get to use.
Only problem: Ace's favorite place to play is the window sills. I don't know how he'll react now that he can't reach them. Hopefully we'll adapt and find another place to crash his monster trucks.
Yippee! Finally, a contractor that does a COMPLETE job that I am COMPLETELY happy with. I had almost given up hope. (Must be because he's got a lucky name: Jonathon.)
