I’ve been toying with the idea of adding board and batten in my kitchen table “nook”. My house doesn’t have a formal dining room. Instead, I have a SMALL space next to the main door I use to enter/exit the house. It’s big enough for a 4 person table… but just barely!

This might give you an idea of what I’m working with:

This photos was taken when I took my first look at the house.

…and this one was taken two moths later. I’ve since added artwork to brighten the space. Sorry for the poor lighting. I remember snapping this pic at night. My space has three sky lights, but not a lot of artificial light. Makes it tough to get good pictures at night!

I love this greyish/taupish wall color, but I feel like a little more white would really make the space feel larger.  ENTER BOARD AND BATTEN! I’m dreaming of B&B with a picture ledge along the top. Maybe even add some hooks by the door?!

I snagged a $10 pedestal table that I’m currently refinishing. WHAT IF I put the table here and built bench seats with storage for 2 sides and then used two individual chairs on the other sides?  Talk amongst yourselves….

Here are a couple photos of what I’m imagining:
