To Banquette or Not to Banquette?

Good question.

I see them in magazines, and I love the way they look, but it's still sort of a leap for us, decoratively speaking. What do you think?

  1. ooo lala suz! I LOVE these and have been determined to do a built in banquette or use a couch in our dining room for some time. Urban Grace has a pic in her portfolio of a dining room with a couch in it that is just heaven. It would be a stretch for us too but you know with these little houses I feel that it would be the best way possible to fit more people in!

  2. couch yes, banquette...mixed feelings. matt's mom has a "booth" in her house and it is a pain in the a*& with the kids. You get trapped, the kids climb under etc. I would like it if you were avoiding the trapped issue.

  3. Actually it would be L-shaped like the pictures. We'll have to show you the plans for the house on Saturday!

  4. that's what I wanted to do in the kitchen in the right corner where the high chair currently is, if we ever redo our kitchen, which is dependent on winning the lottery, so I'd say it is a long shot. I wanted benches with storage underneath them and oval table with chairs on the other side. I really need more storage space and I thought that would help.
