Sunday Brunch & Banquettes

When I lived in NYC

the highlight of the week for me was

SUNDAY BRUNCH.

Whether it was meeting friends and family 

at the new 'Hot Spot' for Brunch

or

meeting at someones home for the fabulous event.

~~~~~~~~~

The above banquette just drives home why we love

BANQUETTES!!

You could never fit as many people using a table and chairs

as you can using a banquette, table and chairs

in the same amount of space.

RIGHT??

Just remember

when you use a banquette flush against a wall....

you gain between 30" and 36" in your room.

A brilliant solution when needing more space.

Don't you think?

It's Sunday....

invite some of your

B.F.F.'s to Sunday Brunch!!

Finally......

I am at peace....

My showroom's ANCHOR fabric 

will be going on the semi-circular banquette 

that surrounds the dining table.

Some of you know how much I love this fabric and it's colorway.

The banquette will be wrapping this table with a few chairs on the other side.

The side Chair in the back of this shot is what I will use.

What do you think?

Any suggestions?

Chris Barrett Designs

I am loving this.

If walked by a cafe that looked like this................

I would have to dine there.

So stylish.....and with an attitude.

The images in this post are from Chris Barrett's website.

 I think her work is outstanding.

Not to mention she can do contemporary/industrial design, which I adore.

And Miss Barrett does traditional with a bang as well.

Why do I love black and white floors?

.....and black and white piano's?

I love the kitchen and the breakfast nook.

The subway tile in the bath is fab.

I want to just soak in this tub.

Don't you?

Have you ever wondered 

why every tub doesn't have center mounted faucets????

Which is your favorite image and why???

Would You Consider This?

Would you ever place an armless banquette/styled sofa in the 'dead space' 

of a living room or family room?

dead space; an area in a room that is too small 

to actually do a seating area ( or anything else really) with regular sofas and chairs.

(depth issues)

I have.

It's a real winning approach to the problem.

Try it. 

It will be worth all your efforts.

Would you consider this solution?

Would you ever use a sofa that styled like a banquette?

-flush against the wall?

*It comes off very 1940's
