Believe it or not, this is how my breakfast nook looked when I moved in. Bye bye, Bird Park!
As you can see, I love super bright whites. The new nook features a Saarinen Tulip table and Louis style dining chairs.
Another view of the old nook.
I love this mahogany cabinet I bought years ago from some random store in Los Angeles. I’m still in the market for something for the walls… and I think I will be changing out chandelier soon. Thoughts?
If possible, try to get as much natural light as you can in your breakfast area.
I always try to keep fresh flowers around the house for decor and a personal touch.
Now that you’ve seen the progress on my quaint breakfast nook, check out some ideas for what you might do for a smaller eating area in your own home (below)!
With windows like these, you may hope your coffee never runs out!
