The Seattle Times — Extend your kitchen space with a cozy, multipurpose breakfast nook
Amber Katz, The Seattle Times
Where do you usually eat breakfast? The dining room can feel too formal, yet the couch or countertop feels too casual! Breakfast is a wonderful to connect with family as you wake up for your day. A cozy, multipurpose breakfast nook can be a game changer in your home. Amber Katz at The Seattle Times cooked up a recipe for incorporating a breakfast nook into your home (with a little help from Seattle-area interior designers)!
Here are some snippets from the article:
“Keep your tabletop flexible. A colorful melamine tray filled with locally sourced goodies for a make-your-own granola bar in the morning can transition to a cocktail bar tray in the 5 o’clock hour. After dinner, we are back in the nook where the tray is filled with everything you need for an ice cream sundae bar.”
“Gardner also likes adding a crisp French linen tablecloth and a clear glass ball jar filled with fragrant blooms from the garden for an at-home coffee date with a friend. ‘Swap out the linen cloth for a wipeable oilcloth when it’s time for the kids to do homework or an art project,’ she advises.”
From breakfast to cocktail hour, and beyond, the flexible breakfast nook can be so much more than it seems. Learn how to extend your kitchen to achieve this convenient, multipurpose space.
