Kitchen Nook

The main problem I've always had with my house is our eat-in kitchen.  I would always complain that it was too small and we'd never be able to seat more than four people at a time.  One solution we found was a kitchen nook.  We looked online but the ones you buy aren't that big so I'd have the same seating problem.  I convinced Mike that he could build me a nook.  With the help of my dad and Jon he conquered his fear of power tools and built an amazing nook!

Here is the start of everything:

 This was the end of day one.  It's half our nook.

 Here is the finished project.  By day two Mike was an old pro.  He even helped me with the cushion.

 We decided that with a new bench we would need a bigger table.  Here's our brand new table!!

Mike shouldn't have done such a good job because he now has a list of 5 things I want built.
