Cozy Kitchen Nooks

Creative and Compact

Further proof you do not need an expansive floor plan to create a separate eating area: This two-seater nook was created by building a parallel pair of beadboard benches in a formerly awkward corner just off a compact kitchen. Situated beneath windows left unadorned for maximum light, the benches help address small-space storage problems with their two handy drawers.
