I have long been obsessed with having a corner banquette in my kitchen. I adore the idea of being able to sit and read the paper with coffee in a comfy spot or having friends enjoy a glass of wine in the same room while I cook (or open more wine and place a delivery order, rather). I saw Ballard’s newest freestanding version in their latest catalog, complete with nail head trim. As you know, nail heads makes everything better in my humble opinion. Available in a variety of fabrics and various sizes, you can just slide this bad boy into a corner, add a pedestal table (I prefer a Tulip table) and voila- no need to call a finish carpenter to build one in for you!

Here are some images of delicious kitchen banquettes that I would be glad to call my own:



























How about the pantry that goes along with it?


I’m taking tomorrow off to indulge in turkey and family time but will be back Friday with a Fashion Friday post-probably about stretchy waistband pants since I plan on eating my weight in turkey and pie.
