[ have a seat ]

I'M REALLY loving this dining area - isn't that banquette lovely? The tall, padded back on it would be so comfortable and the pretty shape is such a nice detail.


Banquettes are such a great idea, especially when space is a bit tight for pulling out chairs around all sides of a table. This entire space is so charming - the gallery wall, those little corner display shelves, the chandelier and Louis dining chairs... 

I'd love to have a banquette in my next home - how about you?

    Yes, I like this room very much as well, great floors. I like the idea of a banquette but I have no tables near walls. I wanted benches with our dining table but my husband pointed out how hard it is to get out if you aren't on an "end". I'm thinking perhaps on the patio.

    I love the shape of that banquette, it's a real focal point while not taking up a lot of space.

    Funny, that's on my
    design bucket list,
    for certain! Always
    loved them, and as
    I am hoping to be in
    something beautiful
    but cozy in my dotage,
    this would fit right in!

    Great inspiration pic.
    Off to PIN it : )
