Earlier this year when we gave my studio a makeover it also included creating a breakfast nook. I’ve delayed the reveal until Jason had a chance to finished the table {for the full effect}.
Before:
The space consisted of an undefined area between the kitchen and my studio that was used for art projects {on a table much too small to foster creativity}, recycling as well as a dumping ground for shoes and coats.
After:
Once again we turned to our carpenter Dan, who created the awesome built-ins in our old house. The benches include storage for recycling, shoes and the kids’ art supplies. I asked one of my clients {a food blogger} for a few high-res images she took and blew them up using IKEA’s simple Ribba frames.
The Table:
With a narrow space it was challenging to find a table what would accommodate. I wanted a farmhouse-style table and I knew it would be expensive for a custom piece. Thanks to $30 worth of reclaimed wood from the Rebuilding Center, some determination and resources found online, Jason built one himself.
I love how the space is defined. A perfect place to eat breakfast, have casual dinners and for the kids to spread out their artwork and projects.
looks fantastic and since i've seen it in person even better!!!
wow wow, now i am walking around my small house trying to determine if and where we can make a nook…inspired. looks awesome.
super cool!
You have a knack for making excellent use of space and at the same time making it look awesome. I know this isn't the only space in your home you will transform over time…
