A Banker and A Banquette

We've had this conversation before...

I love banquettes.

Truth be told...

when there is banquette seating available at a restaurant

everyone wants to sit there

because it's comfy and cozy.

That explains why people are using them in their homes.
Comfortable and cozy.

Quiz:

Where would you want to sit at this table?

In one of those chairs?

or the banquette?

All of you will answer:

The Banquette!

A banquette snuggled between two walls

with lighting is heaven.

I really don't think that they would be that hard to build.

Quiz:

Where would you want to sit at this table?

Same answer:

The banquette.

There are all shapes of banquettes.

I especially love this space.

I wish I could see the rest of this kitchen.

It looks like a kitchen that is focused more on beauty than function.

Which I totally understand.

I am favoring beauty over function in my own kitchen.

It's like wearing a pair of high heel shoes...

They aren't practical

but BOY! do they look good!

Take these bookshelves

add to a room with a banquette

with a cup of French pressed coffee...

and you have created perfection

Which brings me to this photo:

No Banquette

but a couch snuggled in between wrap around book shelves and "Kelly's" lights.

Which made me think about the nook in my OWN dining room.

How awesome it would be to move my china hutch

some where else??

and build a banquette in that cozy area.

See the nook behind my hutch between the two sconces?

No doubt that I have the perfect space to build a banquette...

Don't you agree?

Now

how should I share this idea with my "banker"?

I think I could lure him with the promise of...

French press coffee

while sitting in his new banquette.

Lovin It,
