The shape of the second bench is what I imagine, but it will probably be glossy white, painted plywood. I will put a bright cushion cover across the seat, with throw cushions for the back. I don't like the vinyl, but I do like the white and bright mix of the fourth photo, and our table is similar to that table. And I'm not really a red person, but the two red banquettes look so cheery to me. I do like the stripes and the natural wood in the third photo. The last photo is a bad scan, but I had to include it because I've been looking for that photo in my old magazines for two days, and I finally found it! I remembered the tulip base with the square top, the banquette, and the whiteness of it. Also inspirational. Our walls are white, cabinets a light natural color, and our countertops almost black. I've only put together one mood board in my life, but maybe I'll make one for this to get my ideas solidified.

I love banquettes & you can always change them from time to time with different cushions & fabric for a new look.
i'm a BIG fan of banquettes and have done one in almost every home i've decorated. i CAN'T wait to see your finished product!!! Great idea, most people forget to use space this way or are timid about doing it. i love your inspirations!
the 2nd is my favourite!
oh, i love these examples. just fabulous. and so hard to choose a favorite. humph.
love the shape of the second one! and the natural wood. but i definitely have floor lust with the first black and white check. O, what kitchen dreams!
Oh Liza, how fun! We have been thinking of putting one in ourselves. I get all nervous about the upholstery, though. We have 3 young, messy kids, 2 cats and a zillion kids over all the time. I am thinking the banquette in the last image would be the only kids friendly! Great photo BTW - and I also noticed the square top! Wonderful change!
