Imagine a Nook

Nook Layout

I know, I know...two posts in one day after a year-shocking.  Greg came over today and measured the dimensions of our new nook.  The tape on the wall indicates the height of the table; and Tracy put plates on the floor in the table outline.

Note that the small rectangle closest to the island stools denotes cabinet space on the back of the two-seater bench; which is represented by the slightly larger rectangle.  The table will be a soft trapezoid with rounded edges.  The farthest rectangle represents a three-person bench.

We've made preliminary wood choices for both the bench slats, table, and cabinet top.

Now we have to move one electrical outlet and, of course, the nefarious head-bashing fixture.

Our kitchen as it existed this morning.

Hi friends.  We're finally able to change the interior of our kitchen.  As you can see here, the vintage six-seater that has resided in the corner is too large for the space (the chairs on two sides of the table are against the wall and flush with the table).  The fixture, while it looks appropriate here, actually hangs between the table and the island (needless to say I've run into the darn thing countless times).

These problems arose when we decided to install a full-size island, as it changed the dimensions of our remaining floor plan.  Our table just doesn't work and, while we like it, we never use it.

So I took the table apart today and put it in the attic.  I will sell it for a very agreeable price, if someone is willing to make an offer.
