A few months ago, we moved Eli out of a high chair and into a booster seat. So, for the past few months we have been stuffing 5 chairs around a table that is only big enough for 4. We have officially outgrown our table!
We decided to swap out our current 4 seater table for our bigger dining room table, but something still isn't just right about the space. I have been trying to think of the best way to use our breakfast room, and I keep coming back to something kind of like these pictures:
I love the look of the built in bench under the windows. It makes the space so cozy, plus adds a ton of storage. I'm thinking this would be a great place for the boys' school and art supplies. Now, I just have to decide what style to go with and get Jason busy with his saw, nail gun, and paint brush:)

I LOVE the bench seat idea! I have ALWAYS wanted a place to have one in my dining room. one day... :)
I love the 2nd and 3rd pictures the best! It looks like you probably get a lot of light there too so it will be SO nice. I love the fact that you'd be able to use it for storage too. Good luck!

I would love to have a bench seat like that! We have french doors in our breakfast room so that wouldn't work for us! But maybe a bench with a faux mirrored window above it??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
What I wouldn't give to have banquette in my kitchen! I would definitely go for it!
