Our functional and custom kitchen banquette is one of the spaces in our home that we enjoy the most.  We surf the web, color with Lucas, eat, have our coffee in the morning, you name it.  I think a custom kitchen banquette is one of he most functional features anyone can incorporate in their kitchen design.  Not only does it offer a lot more space for seating than individual chairs but it also instantly warms up any space.  All these images of kitchens with custom banquettes are absolutely beautiful but my favorite is the very first one because of all those slick antique-looking iron windows, the adorable French mattress (a post coming up on this by the way),  and the accessibility to the banquette itself.   Enjoy!
