I'm gonna sing you a little diddy, it's called "Ode to a Banquette"...
Just picture Will Ferrell in Elf.
Okay, there isn't really going to be a song, you can unplug your ears. I'm actually listening to Britney's new song I Wanna Go.
I know, I should be super embarrassed. But I'm not (c;
*Ahem.* Back to the subject at hand.
So I get inspired in all sorts of places, but I swear this girl reads minds. It's like scary cool.
And it was brought to my attention that I am utterly and irrevocably enamored with banquettes...especially in breakfast nooks...but pretty much anywhere.
Get ready for picture overload, I went buck wild...You're welcome.
I swear it's better if you look at it to Britney's song (c:

The one that started this craze:
Just plain awesome fabric....
The pendant, the floor, the banquette...oh, you know how I like it!

I've decided that this is the #1 must for my kitchen...so cozy and comfy...a little like eating at a posh diner every morning (c:
What else would I put in my dream house???

Oh love a great banquette! Super comfy and really beautiful when done right! :)
Oh great, now I'm looking around my house wondering where I can but a banquette. My husband is not going to be happy about your post today! I am loving the one with two tables.
My husband built one for us and it was a dream come true. I must have had double the amount of photos that you posted the day he said ," OK , show me what you want."
I think I actually made him nervous , lol! Great post.
Love that white and gold pendant. Actually I like everything in ALL of these photos. Ha.
great spaces. i could definitely live with any of these!
So many inspiring spaces!

Britney, huh? ;) I never knew I liked banquettes until these pictures. I love a lot of these. The one with the black floor is my fave. I think I just totally fell in love with the floor. Words I never thought I'd say... :0)
Love these too. Kind of wish we had done this at our house now. I"m imagining how it would go over if I told my husband now that I wanted one, lol!
As always very inspirational. I always loved banquettes because you can always take a cat-nap after you have stuffed yourself with food. No need to go alll the wayyy to the couch. My favorite...the one from Tobi.
So many gorgeous banquettes! Love them all!
I adore all of these! Wish I had the right space for one! I need to go check out that Britney song now... :)
absolutely love all of those photos i want my kitchens to look like that, a lovely dream house indeed!
Gorgeous images! I love the quote about wanting to sit down and have important conversations-- true!
On my way Aubrey I adore all of the wonderful banquettes!! Off to Suzy's!

Love banquettes! A definite must in my dream house!
Such great cozy images. Don't you think that the banquet is everyone's favorite place to sit?
banquette + Saarinen table = HEAVEN! That chiang mai nook is one of my all time favorites. But the ones with the tall backs are talking to me.
some beautiful spaces here, i especially love that gorgeous chair in the first one & the very pretty textiles. Im loving some of the banquet style tables, with an ever expanding family this would be perfect for me. ill be hosting a give away later today so pop on over
I sure hope one day I'll have room in my kitchen to set away some space for a beautiful little nook like these!!
I am in awe of the two that use headboards behind the tables! What a spectacular idea! Now that is luxurious!!
Love the banquette, and you picked some seriously fabulous ones! Love the one with the hicks pendant and those amazing windows. I also love the great shape of the last one. Thanks for sharing!
I just pinned about 5 pics on my Pinterest board from this post:) Love the all!!
