Every since I can remember I have always loved kitchen banquettes. I really love them near windows. I love natural light so the more windows in a home the better!
I only have one window in our kitchen in the house we just moved into but I do have a L-shaped corner that will work perfectly for a banquette. So you guys already saw the kitchen wall stencil I did here, My banquette will go in that corner. So I got our contractor to make a frame for the banquette. Originally, I was going to try to be ambitious and do it myself but I figured I would leave that part to a professional :) I probably should have told him to make the bench seat a little deeper so it would allow more seat coverage but it should work out fine. I just cant make the back too thick. I ordered a round glass table for the area so hopefully it works out when it actually comes in.
So here is the frame he did. I painted it white.
I have also decided I want to do a tufted look for the banquette and I found tons of inspiration pics on my new fave site... www.houzz.com !! Here are a few of my inspiration pics:
Stay tuned on how my version turns out! :)
