Creating a Vintage Eat-In Corner in my Kitchen || Episode 5 ||

[@SparrowStockwell]

Oh, that corner banquette was a brilliant solution! I love the table!

[@megan2176]

Love that you'll be appreciating your windows and view! We have a great view out our kitchen window, but we're always standing, to look at the birds, etc. Makes me want to figure out a way to incorporate seating somehow. These knees aren't getting any younger, but the older i get, the more i appreciate the birds! Gotta make this work! 👍😅

[@shannorah]

I really love the table and chairs. Especially the chrome trim.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Me too!!! Thank you

[@ceeceemac9072]

It’s great, Sophia! And the harmony of it with Scott is just awesome. That chrome sure makes a huge difference. It is all coming together so well.

[@mygreatchallenge]

I totally agree! Thank you!

[@SparrowStockwell]

I think 4 at the table would definitely fit. Tight? A little. But it would work!

[@nanamjbri]

It looks amazing you did an awesome job 👍🏼 it looks so cozy ♥️ I also agree two stripes of chrome looks on the table looks good because the black showing up in the middle ties it to the chairs 🪑👍🏼 . Your husband is very lucky to have a wife that is very handy and can do anything by herself . That idea of making that little area in your kitchen was a GREAT idea 👍🏼 and I love how it looks 😍

[@elizabeth75000]

I am so happy for you, Sophia! A little dream come true!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yay!!!

[@ToniBergquist]

I’m loving the breakfast nook! The table looks great! Wonderful job ❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you. We love it too!

[@diannamcbride1607]

I really really like the table and chairs. Putting the chrome on the table just really set it off. Good job, You!

[@judithtitterington9862]

You clever thing. Table looked good, with the chrome edging it's fantastic.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you very much!

[@lanaritter9410]

Sophia, y’all are going to enjoy that area soo much! You have done an excellent job!❤

[@tiahill832]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend! ❤😊😘🧶

[@dorisw5558]

really love the wall color/paper combo. not so much the table and chairts but only because they're black. what matters is that you love them

[@cathyreeves3784]

So creative to think of getting the 2 stools and making your bench from those.

[@maryprentice7207]

Sophia, you need to go online and pick out a 1950s Diner napkin dispenser. They gave some really adorable retro ones!

[@megan2176]

Yessss! I can totally see that!! Maybe a cool vintage toaster! Could definitely get carried away with the theme, but in the best way!!! ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyreeves5162]

Chrome electric plates would look nice also....just a thought!

[@patriciajohnson9807]

It looks great! I’m so excited for you.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you!!

[@connieverbeck1110]

You are transforming the area! Love how open it is around the heater! 👍👍👍👍❤️ So frustrated last night. Your video would download! All the others were fine. It had been a wonderful day! Daughter had taken us to a hot air baloon festival! Wonderful! But they required us to have to get up at 4:15 am! Long, wonderful day. All I wanted was an update from you!! 4 am this morning I got to see you! Alls good!!

[@kathleensauer3394]

Wallpaper is SO COOL.! Love it!😊

[@twelvepawsmom7682]

Love the corner! I bet it will get lots of good use! ❤❤❤

[@orsie200]

I have watched this fascinating video TWICE on 2 different devices, including ALL the ads. Hope that helps your channel, genius lady! I love this project.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Wow, thank you!

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

It all looks amazing! I just love the vintage feel! 😊

[@leonieapps5927]

Love your beautiful new setup Sophia, it will give you all, so much fun & enjoyment! Great work, by a truly clever & remarkable lady! xo 😘

[@soaponyt1850]

Everything looks great! I bet that you wish you would have done this years ago!

[@moniquefuselier7711]

I love how this is coming together! I can't wait to see all the little finishing touches that you are so good at doing!

[@janetcovington6938]

I love it! I think you will enjoy looking out the windows as you eat, have tea, etc.

[@annrae1597]

The chrome on the table is cool.

[@karynstouffer3562]

Absolutely loving everything! Sophia, you are doing an amazing job.

[@juliebrooke6099]

The chrome on the table looks very authentic.

[@megan2176]

So cool!! Gives me Grease vibes, like their diner, with the shiny chrome accents!! ❤❤❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

That s the look we are going for!

[@dragonflyneb8212]

So cute

[@daniellagut72]

I'm completly in love with this 50's corner 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@MsArtistwannabe]

It’s looking amazing. You are a true homemaker and creative problem solver.

[@pamelahill7164]

Did you think of putting your hanging baskets under the window that is above the dog crate, that is under the tv because then they won’t be in whomevers way who is setting in the one chair. The baskets will be out of the way and you have more room to scoot your chair around better. I love how it is looking. You are doing an awsome job.

[@naomiverdugo2180]

Sophia, you are simply amazing! Love it!

[@mariaolker]

How cozy? Turned out real cute.

[@sherryhudson9075]

Why not choose one of the colors in the wallpaper for the cushion? I’m afraid black will be too much. And black does show every little spot. And don’t forget to paint the support board under the bench top as you can see it

[@susanwalgren3939]

It looks great! One suggestion: instead of black fabric on the banquet, a small coordinating printed fabric would look great and breakup all that black

[@riograndelily8344]

Looks great. I think four of the same diner style chairs would have flowed a little better. Every thing is coming along nicely

[@mygreatchallenge]

I don't have the room for 4 chairs and we really want the bench. But I see what you mean.

[@madamroo434]

Wow! Looks great!

[@zoshi4161]

It all looks fab. How about Scott putting some of his artwork on the walls?

[@angelicajones3958]

Sophia, your breakfast nook is looking really good!!! You have more room than what I thought you would have. This area is going to be so useful!!! I can't wait to see the next episode !

[@jl1726]

Great work Sophia - Suggestion - since you can only really fit three people comfortably consider getting rid of the bench (which may become a flat surface clutter collector) and order another chair… you can then push the table in against the chair, and it would maybe be more comfortable if the boys and Scott are the ones eating there occasionally…

[@mygreatchallenge]

I know it makes sense but we really want the bench. It s way more comfortable than the chairs and is space saving.

[@cathypenn1073]

I am crazy in love with your table and chairs ❤

[@debbietrekell4426]

Very cute, great idea. now you need a little chain lamp above the table

[@EastRiverHomestead]

Better than imagined. You did great and hope you and Scott enjoy it for a long time to come. 🍨

[@sherrygantt2158]

I am absolutely loving the breakfast nook. I kept having my husband to keep coming to look at the different things. We both love the 50s vibe.

[@teresaminick1169]

Love it!

[@mygreatchallenge]

We do too, thank you

[@teresaminick1169]

@@mygreatchallenge You always give me good ideas, Sophia. Tyfs!

[@juststoppingby390]

So much more room in that corner than we imagined. Looking great. The style though 1950s brings back so many memories as it's not dissimilar to 1970s Britain. The wallpaper especially makes me feel likey childhood kitchen we had a banquette too though the table was rectangle pine

[@jennifersershen927]

The table and chairs look great.

[@denisecarter5117]

The chrome strip is wonderful.

[@vickiclark3290]

Nice!Like eating ar a bistro with all the nature to look at!

[@Robert-hn3gq]

I'm loving how the retro breakfast nook is looking!

[@greenwillow5404]

Your kitchen nook is looking fabulous, Sophia! Love those chrome chairs! I grew up eating breakfast at a chrome table with chrome chairs. This is very nostalgic for me.💛

[@cindybinning2965]

Oh man, sorry you lost the footage. Love watching you build furniture. This series is awesome .

[@janetdamboise6225]

Fantastic job so far Sophia! I can see you having your coffee or tea and looking out at a bird feeder. What a cute little corner to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time.

[@EileenWstCstGrl]

I think I erased my comment! Too excited about your adorable corner and how you always manage to make your vision a reality. Love the chrome trim on the table!

[@lauramclaine504]

I love the way, Scott is so supportive towards you. That’s a real blessing in a partner.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Whenever I do all of the work,(cosmetic redo in our bathroom)my husband is very supportive too.😅🤣😂

[@MarisaAndChew]

I find it especially sweet BC they've been together for so long! Often times spouses sorta just go into a co-exist relationship esp when kids are getting older so it's fun to see them making choices together and seeing their tastes but also respecting each other. Like, Sophia easily could've said she was doing the laminate top anyway but she didn't BC she respected Scott's input and he really could say "I don't really care just spend your savings on an these changes, not mine." I like that they mutually show that respect AND in this case they also considered Willie being part of the household and the desire to have breakfast together as a family. I also like how they tried the 4th plate for Edward! It may not work for dinner but the 4 of them could easily sit there for a chat over a cool (or hot) drink or a dessert! It would be tight but it would still work! My parents and myself and my brother and my kids who were like 6 and 8 at the time used to make booths work at truck stops for all six of us during sports tournaments for the kids! These places were always packed so having two next to each other each was impossible and we hated to block the aisle on the very busy waitresses so my bro and I sat on one side with one child and my parents with the other and those are awesome memories! Now my kids are grown I know we wouldn't physically be able to squish in like that for a meal but we likely could for drinks!

[@lauramitchell6725]

@@MarisaAndChew Most of us who haven’t been married before but have been married for decades to our one and only spouse,don’t have separate savings accounts. How sad for this generation.

[@MarisaAndChew]

@@lauramitchell6725 Its very sad. I keep getting recommended AITAH on Reddit and so many of them are "my partner and I have been they 7 years and married for 4, AITAH for not wanting their name on the deed to the house we are buying?" I saw one today where the relationship sounded new and it was "my bf and I don't things 50/50 but he eats twice as much than me and sauce moving in with him my grocery bill went up 100 dollars since we split it!" All I ever think is "leave and cleave!" Why do these ppl say "happily married" followed by setting things up to be easier (in their mind) for a divorce? I'm happily single after having escaped DV 19 years ago. I've dated a bit and just never felt respected the way my dad treats my mom! So I don't even look anymore, if it happens it will happen if not I love myself enough to not put myself into abuse! Way back when I was in that relationship though, we had two kids, we had one account and it was joint, both names on a mortgage etc fortunately, we weren't married (I said yes but refused BC I knew divorce would make a clean escape harder). But, even though their was extreme abuse (I'm still on meds for PTSD and I'm on permanent disability for it BC of my flashbacks etc) we still had things set up the way they should be, we both did house stuff, made decisions on purchases and so on. It was just ugly underneath. If I was with someone in a committed relationship I would expect things to be "ours" and I would feel like a purchase like a home not having my name on it was a slap in the face and I would really struggle to feel respected as an equal or as someone who the person plans to keep around. It's absolutely tragic that we live in a disposable world right to the point of it being people! I don't even upgrade my phones as often as some ppl switch live in partners. It's wild to me that so many start life with an escape plan and one foot or the door!

[@authenticallyamber99]

Looks very functional and fun, Sophia! Perfect! 🩷🎉

[@ginaarevalo4067]

You are quite talented! Looks Great!

[@CRebecca1944]

Everything is looking great Sophia!!!!!!!

[@gigieyre]

I think the cushions would look great with the same material as the curtains. Either way it's looking good. I love your drive to do things that you want done whether you know how (at the start) or not.

[@ACGNikki]

Purdy! :)

[@nancypeteja6560]

OMG!! Sophia, it looks fantastic!!! Now I understand about the bench. The table & chairs are great!! Amazing. You are a woman with a vision, and you make it happen...what an encouragement to others to "Go for it"!! TFS 😊❤

[@philliphurley5341]

It looks fantastic. You always do an excellent job.

What a fun project!! What about painting bench green though?

[@ruthdennisKnits]

Great‼️. Looking so good. I’d be having coffee all day and look out the windows 🪟

[@gladysanderson1351]

I love how this breakfast nook is looking! The chrome on the table really brings in the vibe of 1950s as do the chairs. I am so impressed by your ingenuity for making the banquette. I am definitely looking into that for our eating area. How did you attach the plywood top to the benches?

Good idea. I immediately spot a place to store stuff 😄

[@megan2176]

[@robynspersonaltraining3593]

It’s a bit late now, but maybe next time(?) you could create the bench with a hinge and a space underneath for extra storage of games or whatever.

I have peel and stick felt pads under my chair legs for a quiet and easy slide,while also protecting the floor against scratches. Is there something like that you could put under the table base?

[@kimberlymayo9951]

***Excellent *** Did not know there were foam things for outlets! The electrician who cut the outlets ( sadly a past owner of this house) in my house had a horrible eye for a straight line. Sounds like I need to find a supply of those myself. I am so happy to learn they exist. You rock, Sophia!
