I absolutely LOVE banquettes.
If I could design my dream home, it would most certainly have a banquette…an upholstered bench and intimate table in the corner of the kitchen.

So beautiful, cozy and homey.
What feature(s) would you want in your dream home?

Good Morning Shari,
Picture #2 was actually one of the inspirations for my banquet. I will post pics of mine as soon as I am back on my computer with all of my pictures! I still need to add more pillows, etc. It is the third time we have painted the kitchen in 6 years since our remodel. There are plenty of things I wish we could have done or done differently-but $$ is always the issue!

They always look so inviting. I love all the windows and the wonderful pillows. I would really love one too. Hugs, Marty
Hi Shari,
I am so happy that you stopped by. I am going to plug you into my sidebar so I don't lose track of you again. We Tampa Girls must stick together.
Have you ever been to Summer House?
It's another great shop but then I am sure there are several that you could tell me about that you know of. Perhaps we could do lunch someday.

Hi Shari!
Oooooh so pretty! Number 2 and 4 are my favorites!

Hi Shari,
This is my first time leaving a comment even though I've been visiting for sometime now. I also love banquettes!! They're very practical and don't take up alot of space in a small eating area. I would chose any of these lovely nooks. TFS! Sheila
Love these!!
Thanks!
Hugs, Lisa
Hi Shari,
The first picture with the black/cream and toile theme, is my absolute all-time favorite eating area. I love that!! I have that page dog-eared and look at it from time to time, just to dream.(sigh)
And, I agree with you about the banquette. I always wait for a booth when we go out for dinner.

Loved your blog today.
Keep smiling!

Hi Shari. I have that book, too. Isn't it marvelous? I look at the pictures, then I look at the rooms in my house, and start to see a transformation in my mind. And you are actually doing it! Your "dream" home is materializing, one room at a time! BH&G doesn't have anything on you!
Oh, Shari, I love banquettes! They go especially well with my style of house. But alas, there is so place here for one. I would have one in my dream home, though, I think. Hugs ~cindy s~
My son just built me the banquette on the Better Homes & Garden website.
I haven't finished the permanent cushion yet but I have a picture on my website.

Oohh...I think I would like one of those! so pretty!
Lovely pictures. My Mom and Dad had to have a booth in their home since their kitchen was so tiny and I remember always thinking how cozy it felt.
