With you moving your office up in the bonus area, revamp the office area in the dining room as a cozy Nook with chairs, etc, and have the buffet along the long wall.

@maiaxgaia 11 дней назад

Great idea!!

@MinnieLane 11 дней назад

@lindacoustette5442 11 дней назад

My vote is for the buffet. You can never have too much storage. Especially in the kitchen & dining room area.

@kimenglishman6008 11 дней назад

Having a large family and many family gatherings, I would recommend some sort of buffet/server where you can store your serving pieces and table decor.

@jscasecase471 11 дней назад

I agree. A big buffet for storage of extra pieces for your dinner party paraphernalia.

@mrsmaryr 11 дней назад

@pamelar5868 11 дней назад

@joannevdm6437 11 дней назад

Yes, I agree

@Michelle-xc9vk 11 дней назад

You actually could do both a buffet on the long wall and comfortable seating in the area where you currently have your desk in the kitchen - once you move your office upstairs.

@cherylpresleigh6403 11 дней назад

You have always struck me as a person that likes to have a place for everything. You enjoy entertaining so very much and you’ve begun to collect items that help you accomplish the vision of your gathering. That being said, a buffet will serve you well with storage and for serving food at parties (and will look lovely when not in party use). I love that you and Josh always think through things in detail, so that together you make the best choice for your families needs. What a great job Josh did with the trim!

@user-pw7rh6po4x 11 дней назад

Becky, if you and josh are having your offices upstairs, take out the old desk area in the kitchen and go with both of your ideas, a long buffet/serving and storage cupboard, and seating area, I know it's going to be me work but definitely worth it in the end, you guys deserve it!! Xx

@JPA34698 11 дней назад

Yesss!! Great idea.

@debbiesander4853 11 дней назад

Yes! Rip out the desk area and make this pantry style cupboards. Then do your buffet/storage on the long wall. You can never have enough storage!! If you do take out the desk area, use the cabinets for extra storage in your garage or seed room.

@lindsiejansen7335 11 дней назад

Great idea!

@lesliehuskey4186 10 дней назад

Yes, going to say the same thing!

@FBard-wk5gb 11 дней назад

Since you and Josh entertain frequently, I think a buffet would be a very useful and practical way to utilize the wall space. It would give you some flexibility in setting up dinner parties in addition to providing a place to store your extra cutlery, serving pieces like the dessert glasses you were looking at, and table decor type of things. I know you have been intentional in collecting some new things in that regard. I think it would be stunning in conjunction with the dining table.

@marymalady462 11 дней назад

My vote would be for a large buffet storage unit. You love to host family and friends, and this would give you storage for items, as well as a place to put out food on. When not in use, you could place decorations on it.

Definitely a buffet to hold all your entertaining items. Very useful for putting service dishes of food on if your table is getting too cluttered.

A buffet on the wall will be so useful. Extra storage, a serving area, and a place to decorate for the seasons. I don’t think you’ll get much use from the chairs. Just my opinion. You do you. 🌺 oh, the trim is fantastic! Josh you are an artist. Becky, you are an artist in the kitchen. 🌺

@gunther13101 11 дней назад

Most certainly go for storage for your casseroles, glassware, tablecloths, etc. Since you are a family that enjoys entertaining, you really need an area for all the things you use. It just makes more sense than a seating area.

@outoftouch-m5y 11 дней назад

Years ago, my crazy sister put a loveseat in her kitchen and we all laughed at her. We all ended up absolutely loving it. It was so nice to have a comfy place to sit while hanging out in the kitchen. Go for it

@stampingtoshare 11 дней назад

I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you! I’d go for cozy seating. We have a coffee room open to our kitchen. It’s 1/2 the size of our living room but everyone wants to be in the coffee room because it’s open to the kitchen and I love all the buzz of having a bunch of people in my kitchen. Seriously, we get so many people cozying up, it’s a true joy. I keep my extra serving items in our porch or in our basement. It’s not so hard to go get them when I need them.

@niktarinalife9708 11 дней назад

We had both your options: the cozy area to be honest always got a catch all for clothes, sweaters, bags, mail, returns, and random kitchen stuff. On the other hand my serving area with glasses, silver, napkins and everything table top I love very much. I would recommend a nice, maybe antique-ish, piece of furniture, maybe with glass cabinets in top, that has a purpose and would be nicer. We ditched the cozy area and got more comfortable chairs for the table. So enjoying sitting around when somebody cooks is possible :-)

@deborahmorton5893 11 дней назад

That space just cries out for a buffet along that wall with a beautiful picture. A serving buffet would be wonderful for your family since you love to entertain and it would give you the extra storage space you need.

@Roxanne-q3r 11 дней назад

That wall is perfect for a beautiful buffet, and much more practical for the space and the type of work you do with videos of harvesting and cooking. Josh did an awesome job on the trim work. Absolutely beautiful!!! 💯

@lianapw8306 11 дней назад

That blank wall in the kitchen needs a big buffet and art! Storage for all your party and platters would be amazing!

@katrinatardibono1235 11 дней назад

Buffet server for sure. I did this by purchasing an old 1980s entertainment center. It was massive. I repainted it and reconfigured shelving then you can add a mirror, wallpaper, or tile on the back serving area. It was a great feature in the dining/kitchen because it looked like a special piece of furniture but served as a kitchen extension and was a great place to store serving pieces, linen, etc. OR Build a faux fireplace on that wall with stuffed arm chairs either side for a special area in the kitchen… just reorient your dining table.

@Artemis_KeyKey 10 дней назад

For the blank wall in the dining room - I vote for the sitting area! It will be nice to have a comfy place for people to sit and chat while you are working in the kitchen so you can be a part of the conversation and not separated from everyone. 🙂

@bliss9654 11 дней назад

Hi becky, in regards to the big wall in the kitchen, put the storgae space thing, you have a big house with lots of seating as it is, the kitchen is where you work mostly you dont need another seatting area there, with the seating area there you wont be able to put your extra table there when its full of seating

@mariaoliveira1992 11 дней назад

You can do both. Use the area that is currently your office in the kitchen and make that your sitting area and storage against the wall.

@anitaogden4471 11 дней назад

I think it makes more sense to put a big buffet table on the empty wall in the dining area. That way you have all of your supplies to set your table next to where you need it!

For others worrying about flooring: What's cool about hardwood or LVF is you can toss an entire room-sized rug in there if you're unsure which to select. (a washable one for the smarty-pants remodeler!) Best of all worlds.

@diannesingletary9772 11 дней назад

Revamp your old office space into storage. Get a closet designer to help maximize the space. Uppers for display would be gorgeous. In time, change out the under the window into matching storage space. Keep the wall space for seating for now, that way you can move them out for needed space for tables when harvesting large amounts of produce.

@tommiejulian3370 11 дней назад

You have a great butlers pantry that you can use for storage. You are definitely blessed with storage in your home so I would go with chairs/sofa for family and friends as everybody gathers in the kitchen.

@missydemeanors1760 11 дней назад

I would personally, add storage - maybe open storage that looks built in on that wall to display kitchen items with decor pieces and then in front of it? a few club chairs around a low table so it is movable for holiday needs and otherwise acts as a place to read cookbooks, play games, puzzles, casual coffee spot etc. More movable during holidays, parties to suit the events AND looks less clunky than a sofa in that space. :)

@jennifetrageth1587 17 часов назад

I go for the storage area with a buffet and a picture . You could also get some stick on decorations that can be removed with out hurting your walls. I’ve seen them and there are many different designs. You and Josh are so handy and I know what ever you two decide will be great.

@pamthomes9022 11 дней назад

You two did an amazing job on the trim! For the kitchen wall are, I think you would never regret storage. Since storage is not as deep as counters, you may still be able to add a comfy chair or two in front of it. You could also place a chair in your office where that is set back. If you do not opt for the chairs, you could add. Couple of comfortable bar stools.

@AZJH8374 11 дней назад

@noramaegomez197 11 дней назад

@cassiecartwright4059 11 дней назад

I think a long custom storage bench would be perfect for that space and you’d be able to store all the items like a buffet but it would proved more comfy seating as well for your larger gatherings. You could even add seat cushions in storage if someone wants them. Josh’s trim skills are really good.

Great work to you and your husband! I highly recommend adding storage in on that wall. My mother-in-law did it years ago and it was the best thing to happen to the space. We keep our family board games inside for easy access next to the dining room table. It's also storage for table decor, fancy dishes, candles, and more. Your space has a lot of potential! Sending love from my family to yours! 💕

@ElleDursten 11 дней назад

Becky, I have two suggestions but they are a bit ambitious. First, to store your table decor and other things, I think the office area in the kitchen could be a wall to wall floor to ceiling built in (maybe even an Ikea hack). It could be a hidden office too. I am thinking something like what Farmhouse on Boone did in her kitchen but adapted to your style and needs. Second, have you and Josh ever considered opening up the stairs to the kitchen? I think it could look beautiful and break that wall a bit. I believe it would still leave enough wall to put a mirror or art and maybe a buffet too.

@gunther13101 11 дней назад

@@ElleDursten I had also thought about opening up that stairway! I’ve always loved back staircases from a kitchen. It would make that area look even more open….and still provide enough wall space to have a good sized buffet.

@MaineGalVal 7 дней назад

I always appreciate storage, so my vote for that space is storage. You often have a table over there for different harvest/food projects and of course you'd need to find another area for that if you were to convert that wall to too much seating. (Editing to say: Others have the best way to pull that off: put the seating area where your current office space is and keep a more working space for that current blank wall.)

@cweaver6792 11 дней назад

BUFFET... no doubt about it! With the amount of entertaining and all the prep you do for dinners and family events,... the best and most beautiful thing to buy would be a gorgeous buffet that typically is part of a dining room and you will love and enjoy it every day. When my family comes over, my buffet is the "landing zone" for gifts and flowers and desserts they bring ! So nice to see you get your 2 year project done! Beautiful job Becky and Josh!

@ThePayneFamilyFarm2013 11 дней назад

Love what you guys have done! It's amazing what a difference something as simple as trim can make on a space. Josh did a great job! Regarding your qyestion: do BOTH!!! I had a similar space in a previous house-this was in the 90's and comfort seating in a kitchen wasn't a thing yet. But my late mother-in-law had given me an antique buffet which I desperately needed. My mother , at about the same time had given me 2 wing back chairs when they moved. So I put my buffet at center of the wall and the chairs at either end. I set up my buffet with a coffee station (being the non-alcoholic Baptist home that it was). Everyone that saw it loved it!!! You have almost half again the wall space I did and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to do both! I think it would look lovely in there, especially when you have little helpers in the kitchen some day. ❤❤❤

I vote a cozy comfy space. Josh or other family members can enjoy sitting around and being with you as you cook. We remodeled our kitchen and living spacec3 years ago and went with open area. It is so nice to be able to be in my kitchen and able to converse with my guests without leaving the kitchen or having someone in my way while I prepare a meal or a snack.

My vote is buffet/storage. I live in Florida and homes only have small closets in the bedrooms. I have "stolen" space for 3 large closets and I LOVE the extra space!

The trim around the doors are so beautiful. Josh did an amazing job!

Oh definitely the buffet with some beautiful artwork is my vote.

As others have said. Office upstairs so area in kitchen free for your storage. Leaving the other area for chairs in kitchen. Josh has done very well. 😊😊

Hey Becky, great job on the renovations, everything looks wonderful. For your space in the dining room, I'd put a huge buffet with lots of storage. I think it would be very useful. Not only will the storage be great, but the tabletop will come in handy too. Love you and your family! ❤

I vote for the comfy sitting area. You love working in your kitchen and it would be so nice for family/friends to have a place to sit and chat while you're preparing.

I like option 1. Storage space that will accentuate the area. Sounds beautiful. Or neither and add wainscoting or some type of woodwork on the wall.

With all the hosting you do, I definitely recommend the buffet. But! If you're moving your office to the bonus space, then maybe you can do a light rework on the kitchen office space to be both a flexible mini office and a cozy seating area.

I think you can have both. I know you like your desk in the kitchen but let’s face it we all multitask when in the kitchen. I have my I pad with your videos playing while cooking and preserving. I don’t ever need to sit down. If I had a place like that it would just become a catch all anyways. I love that you take your time to make your decisions. Live with it for a minute to see what fits!

The large buffet space for sure! Maybe the end part turned into a cute dog bed? That wall would be a great accent wall, but maybe a big shelf with some plants? Can’t wait to see what you do come up with!! ☺️

My hubby is always the one to say that's good enough, nobody will notice. I tell him I will notice and if I do others may as well. I think the buffet for storage space would be the best.

I like the idea of a buffet for serving/ storage. And I saw in another comment the idea of turning your current desk area into a seating nook. Love that! You get both of your wants taken care of!
