They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and in our kitchen, the Breakfast Nook definitely makes that true. Before, this under-utilized space featured a bay window and a small round table. We maximized function by adding a built-in bay window seat storage bench, which serves as a hiding place for our small appliances. We built a cottage-style table by using the wood from our picnic table and added even more seating. Now, this is the space where we eat dinner every night, do homework, and play games as a family.
