Breakfast Nooks

Everyone,

We have a weirdly shaped kitchen.  When you walk into the kitchen from our dining room, it's almost like you're walking through a small hallway and then, bam!  The kitchen opens up to the left of you.  On the right, it's filled with things like a refrigerator, a stove and cabinets.  To the front, more cabinets and a sink.  Plus a nice window.  And beyond that, our washer and dryer.  But to your left?  Nothing.  Just a wall.  And a corner.  And a non working phone jack that we hide with the calendars my mom makes us every year.  (LOVE those things.)

Currently in that space is our garbage cans.  But I've often thought of doing something different with that space.  Either putting more cabinets in there or one of these:


Doesn't it look so cute? Now all I need is a really nice sunny window there in my own house (har har har) and it will look stunning. And when I put that in there, I'm going to take apart my dining room and make it into a play room. And while I'm at it, let's put in a new beautiful floor.  One that doesn't have nails sticking up.  And maybe paint the house fun colors.  Sigh...there just seems to be not enough space in this house, or money in my pockets all of a sudden!
