Just put a Roomba up there. Also, I question the cherry on tan Eames.

 ABE LINCOLN IS WATCHING YOU POOP Rest of the house is gloriously tacky and I'm sad there's only a handful of interior photos.

I want to credit their commitment to baroque grandma style, but what the hell is up with that coffee table? Did they have to send the usual Rococo dust shelter to the shop and just dragged the one out of the patio set in as a place holder?

Oh, so that's the target market for those tacky stained glass lamps.

What I always wonder about those places that are cluttered with "decorative" items is who has time to dust and clean all that? Even if you have a maid it has to take hours each day to keep every tiny nook and cranny in every room dust-free. Or are the room just hermetically sealed time capsules where the doors are always closed and nobody is allowed in there ever?

I can't believe they went through the effort of making that insane baroque bathroom and just put a standard plain white toilet in it. Like, I realize a colored toilet is special order and costs like $800 and just seems wrong, but everything else is there seems kind of wrong as well so why not. At least put a fancy lid on it.

Wife and I are closing in on a 3/2 1/2 townhouse at the end of next month and we’re wondering what to do with a certain space in the house. There’s sizable dining area right in front of the kitchen, but also what clearly appears to be a breakfast nook. Problem is, we know for a fact we’d never use it for that. We either have breakfast at the dining room table, or on the coffee table in front on of the TV on weekends. I know I don’t have photos or much of a description to give you, but with a small space that’s not quite living room, not quite dining room, do y’all have some ideas for what to do with the space? We have no kids (don’t want ‘em), we’re both professionals who work 9-5, we spend most of our down time at home rather than going out besides to dinner. We have a dog. We are already making a spare bedroom into a gym. We also have a very nice cemented back yard, if that helps.

Does it have windows? I'd probably wall it off and turn it into a pantry.

It's hard to say without pictures or a floorplan, but I'm assuming it's too small to be comfortably used as an office or whatever. "Breakfast nook in a townhouse" doesn't scream tons of space to me.Liquid Communism posted:Does it have windows? I'd probably wall it off and turn it into a pantry.

 This is it. If you look up, the ceiling is kinda round and concave above the area, and the windows made us think “breakfast nook,” but we’d never use it as such. In terms of hobbies, we generally just chill out watching Netflix and stuff, we read, we play video games on the Switch/3DS, browse the internet, nerd poo poo. We both have big toy collections (hers is way cooler with designer art toys), and we like to cuddle and play fetch with our little dog. He’s not so big, so we don’t need a big pantry for his food. We do both love to cook, but we’ve got a big nice brand new kitchen for that. Only thing that comes to mind is some kind of set up for our collections. But our thought process stops there. We’re open to suggestions for other options, though! Oh yeah, we would never really need a home office set up with our jobs.

Put a sofa there and make it into a reading area? Or a couple of comfy chairs. There's nothing wrong with having more than one "comfortable place to sit and do whatever" part of your house, and being able to enjoy natural light from a nearby window is a nice plus.

Yeah I'd say this, big comfy lounging sofas and bookshelves. Breakfast Nook becomes Non-TV Chillout Nook.

More importantly, a place you can get away from people and maybe even nap!

Just put something like an end table under the window and leave it as open space. If you can think of something, it doesn’t need anything.

You could leave it empty as a place to sit on the floor until you earn the right to select furniture.

My parents in law have a couch and coffee table in the 'breakfast nook' and it's fantastic. Everyone always seems to gather in the kitchen anyway and so there's a comfortable space for a small group to hang out in. I'd never have thought to do it but in practice it's great

Make a little library! Put all your books, board games, and magazines there. If you don't have hundreds of books that need a better home then your bedroom shelves, now's a good time to start! (I can't wait till I can have my own place with nice bookshelves)

There's a curse of the modern age that bookshelves are great to fill odd spaces but I replace all but my rare books with kindle versions, so I've nothing to store. All my media is digital, the only things have are practical.

Facebook is intent on throwing me every jewel painting ad imaginable but the thought of all those tiny jewels makes me anxious. I would definitely drop them and I'd be finding tiny rhinestones on the floor forever.
