New House Breakfast Nook

Continuing the tour of the new house...we move onto the breakfast nook!  Which is actually quite the misnomer...my kids eat breakfast on the couch.   We generally eat lunch and supper in the nook. 

Love, love, love the nook.  It's the happiest part of my house, I think, because it's a place where I can laugh with my kids, catch up with their day, and feed them healthy, delicious meals.

The details:

paint:  file cabinet by Martha Stewart for Home Depot - we put this throughout the first floor and I LOVE it.  It's just a nice, light beige with warm tones of red and blue.

table:  Paula Deen Home!  I have filled my house with Paula Deen's furniture collection.  Love it.

chairs:  slipcovered parsons chairs from Ballard Designs.  Perfect for kids...they can dirty them all up and I just throw them in the wash.

dishes:  Gabriella Dinnerware from Pottery Barn

Pew Bench:  antique.  Hands down my favorite piece from my mother's collection.  Perfect for this space!  JDad and I spend an entire weekend restoring it's original color and quality.  The pillows are some that I've had for years.

Chandelier:  Shades of Light

Napkins:  To Bee Named, LOVE how she put our street number on them.  So cute.

Cookbooks:  well, yes, I have a bunch, but I use them ALL!  This space was originally going to be for the microwave, but then we ended up getting the GE Advantium and didn't need one.  So, I put all of my cookbooks in there and it turned out to be a perfect spot!

The only thing I need now is some type of window treatment for the windows.  I'm thinking just a plain woven shade that is lightly lined.  We don't really NEED it, I just hate naked windows!

I'm hoping to post the rest of the kitchen later this week...enjoy!
