The Breakfast Nook/Kitchen View

The view from the breakfast nook into the kitchen

I enjoy the contrast of the dark wood in the breakfast nook and the modernity of the black and white kitchen. The breakfast nook is warm and reminds me a warm fire and the cozy atmosphere perfect for a bowl of soup or stew needed in the Winter. The kitchen is crisp and cool and reminds me of a modern and sleek beach house in the Summer with a cool breeze and salty air flowing through it.

Alan and I have had the mesquite table and chairs for 11 years. Although I have enjoyed the set for many years and it fits this house, I envision something different for our dining area in the new home that we will be buying.

One of the most recent and fun memories I have at this table and chairs is having our friends and neighbors over for raclette this past Christmas. It felt like a Martha Stewart photo op with the flurry of festive activity and presentation of the food.
