Cozy Breakfast Nooks

24 June 2009

Early in the morning before work, wouldn’t it be nice to sip your cup of coffee or tea and read a book or the newspaper on a cushioned seat near the window? You could roll out of bed and walk downstairs to the miniature cafĂ© that is your breakfast nook.

A small table and comfortable chairs with juice and eggs waiting is a relaxing way to wake up. A soft color like sage green, a simple hanging light fixture and a vase of fresh cut flowers creates a warm, inviting space.

Your nook can have other purposes too. For example, padded benches as seats can offer a couple extra-deep storage spaces. The storage can be used for crafts or silverware that is used only for special occasions.

If you have a small family, the booth can provide for a sociable dining area, which is a great way to start your day.

Thats a lovely idea. I like to try and grab a little time in the mornings with a coffee and bagel with cherry jam and the newspaper. I will see if I can work a chair into the kitchen somewhere.
