Nook for my family...

this is a really good project and i like that you mention the budget
A friend of mine is trying to figure how to utilize his small space with two kids running around
I will show him this and offer to help build – it’s simple and very tasteful and kid friendly
thanks for the progress pics too
cheers

Thanks so much for the kind words, Greg! So glad this might give your friend some ideas! Crazy thing is that the decorative cushions for the 4 wall boards (haven’t decided if I want to inset fabric yet) & the L-shaped cushion for the seat will end up costing way more than I spent to build the whole thing, lol! I need to barter woodwork with a seamstress!! Hope you have a great night! :D

I like that idea! Even without the small space that’s nice! Even though I’ve already planned the table I’m going to build, I’ve always wanted something like this. That’s look awesome, thanks for the post!

Very creative use of space and nice job of carpentry, oh, and a nice looking young man too.

Very classy. I built some breakfast nook furniture myself. Not nearly as classy as this, though.

Thanks so much, jaysonic, cajunpen, and Brasco18!! It was a fun project to design and build… thinking of doing a bookcase wall in the near future! Happy woodworking to y’all! :D

Those are nice pics of the progress. There is just something about built-ins that I like. I may do something similar in my own teeny kitchen. No kids yet, though.

Thanks for the compliments gsimon, Brasco18, jaysonic, cajunpen & thejosh!! Y’all have inspired me to start working on my family’s future wall bookcase/bench unit! Nothing makes a house feel like a home more than built-ins… I love the architectural detail they bring to an otherwise boring space… therefore I’m always cashin’ in my pennies for wood, hehe!
