We’re not afraid to admit it: Eating is one of our favorite things.
Which is why we also try to convince ourselves that exercising is one of our favorite things…But, somehow, “the treadmill” doesn’t ever quite convey that some happy feeling that “Hershey’s Kisses” do.
There are, of course, plenty of times that eating has to happen in the car or the airport or somewhere equally low on ambience. But,when it can happen in your own home, in comfort, isn’t that the best?
When it’s comfort and style, that’s even better, and these banquette seating ideas do just that!
We tend to think of dining chairs as hard and uncomfortable,
But when comfort and style combine in a kitchen banquette, all the better!
From grilled cheese to caviar, hot dogs to coq au vin,
There’s no doubt that many a special meal can be served–in comfort–in your own home.
Where you choose to work it off? Well, that’s up to you.
Which of these banquette seating ideas is your favorite?

More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:
“Queen of the beach read,” (Cosmopolitan) New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt escape to coastal Carolina.
After the worst day in her professional life, burnt-out NICU nurse Daisy Stevens runs to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, looking for a new life—and possibly new romance. On her first day at her “simpler” job, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden discovers an abandoned baby, sending ripples through the entire tight-knit town of Cape Carolina.
Mason is still struggling to reconcile the scars of the injury that kept him out of the big leagues, stuck in his hometown, and searching for a way out. This newcomer and the child they’ve saved together might be just the motivation he needs to stay put. Sparks fly as Mason acquaints Daisy with Cape Carolina, introducing her to his friends and family, including his batty Aunt Tilley, who is looking for relief from long-buried family secrets and her own fresh start.
But as Daisy becomes increasingly attached to this abandoned child, and begins facing her own demons in the process, a startling discovery is made that threatens to rip the entire town of Cape Carolina apart, placing Daisy, Mason, and Tilley in the center of the storm. In a novel that proves that “Kristy Woodson Harvey is (the) go-to for elevated beach reads” (People), they will each learn that with love, understanding—and a community theater production of Hello, Dolly!—sometimes life conspires to bring us just exactly where we belong.
