BREAKFAST NOOK LOOK – BUILT-IN BANQUETTE SEATING!

November 14, 2012

After seeing the darling eat in kitchen that I showed you in yesterday’s post, I’ve had breakfast nooks on my mind. Now…most normal people have regular life things on their minds…family, friends, love, work, religion, politics, helping others…I’ve thought about those normal things certainly…but for an entire day or so I have truly been thinking a lot about breakfast nooks. I know…weird…I know…weird. Welcome to my world.

Anyhooo….in yesterday’s post, the home owner chose a round table and adorable cafe chairs to make a stunning breakfast nook space off of her kitchen. After I saw that nook, I wanted to scoop it right up and take it home…there is a problem…I do live in a tiny tiny tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills so I have no space for a proper eat in kitchen dining area…but that nook got me thinking…could I do the same type of nook with built-in bench seating?

Well, if you are doing your kitchen or trying to figure out how to squeeze a table and chairs into a small cove or nook…here are some ideas on banquette seating!

Which of these breakfast nooks do you like best?  I like the first one and I also like the sleek gray!  Do weigh in – comment below…pick your favorite!

Happy Wednesday!

    I love that first image – there is something so amazing about banquette seating in a corner window. I love the bright airy feel of it!

    I just love bench seats. There is something about sitting across from somebody and looking them in the eye. I have always found bench seating so cozy. You have taken a minus and turned it into a plus! The bench seating works great in a small space and creates a great feel, both when you walk into the room and when you leave. Well done and with the white it’s over the top!

    Love the first two. Especially the table in the second one. I am building one of these in my house and am looking for a table like this one. Any idea where its from?

    I love the table in the second picture. This would be perfect for our future kitchen nook. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks!

    Where can you buy this kind of seating? Does it have to be custom made only?

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
