Happy Friday's Eve!!!!!
I love the eve of Friday...one more day until weekend begins and boy let me tell you... I am ready for the weekend!!! In the mean time I will continue to day dream about a million design spaces to include banquette seating. Right now I have banquette dining on the brain and can't get E-N-O-U-G-H. You see I love me some banquettes, built-in, freestanding sofa, bench, or settee, I don't care the form or fashion, but having one is a MUST.
This style of dining sets the tone for an intimate, conversational opportunity that requires the attendees to stay a while, to the point of over staying their welcome :-). You see, it never fails in my household that when visitors come over we always find ourselves in the kitchen and around the table...drinking, eating, laughing, talking, and drinking (did I say drinking already?)
I can easily imagine family and friends gathered around the banquette for celebratory dinners, myself curled up with my favorite design magazine and a glass of vino, weekly family and holiday meals, brunch with the girls, and everything else in between.
My current home doesn't allow for a banquette anywhere so until then I will continue to dream up my ideal setting in my mental design Rolodex.
I hope you enjoy the collection below of some of my favorite images. Each photo offers unique design elements that appeal to various design preferences and styles.
Until the next time...be inspired.
