Last week I wrote about my newest dream of
banquette seating in our dining area. The only thing getting in the way of my dream is $$$ (isn't that always the problem?) I am sure I could figure out a low cost way of achieving this look by scouring stores and websites (
CraigsList,
EcoBuilding Bargains, goodwill, etc.) But, we already have 6 chairs for our table, so why not try and use them? So I started moving furniture around!
Before
I put tow chairs together on both walls. Then I moved the table to be 18" from both the back and side walls.
Because I am not using bench seating, I created a void in the back corner. With such a small space, I didn't want to loose so much real estate. So I moved my
newly painted table to that corner.
I will have to rearrange the pictures and move the swing of the light fixture to be centered on the table. But, for now I just arranged some accessories.
I think, for now, I like it. Let's see what my husband thinks when he gets home!
Love your blog, I found you from A Bowl Full of Lemons link up :) I also live in a small space, it's hard at times making it work!

ReplyDeleteThis looks good. You could actually get more of a feel of the banquette if you did a long cushion that went across each of the two sets of chairs & maybe added a simple slipcover over each set as well. That could give the appearance of your bench seating. Anyway, just a thought. Sometimes my mind works in over-drive. LOL!!!
