I know I'm not alone when I say I spend a worrying amount of time fantasizing about my future dream home. And although the vision has evolved and adapted over the years, the layout of my bedroom changes, or the way I envision my garden looking, the one thing that has remained constant in this fantasy is the presence of a breakfast nook in my kitchen.
There's something that feels so nostalgic about it, reminiscent of the sitcom family homes we all grew up with on screen. But, as I've grown older, the reality behind these designs has set in a bit more. With their custom-made, built-in banquette seating nature, the breakfast nook of my dreams isn't exactly going to come cheap. Not to mention the fundamental incompatibility with this design and living in a rental.
