If I lived in America, I'd have a breakfast nook

it's filthy and depressing.

You must be a normal sized non American. They are going out of favor here because we are all fatties.

Looks like modern day posh Polish - not American.

Of course I do. I was also molested.

i have long fantasized about having a nook.

Most of Americans can't fit in a breakfast nook. By 28, it's like in Dante's Inferno...abandon all hope...

I have friends in Pasadena in a lovely Spanish-style house that has one. It's adorable, has lots of morning light, and looks out onto citrus trees. Just a few steps from the kitchen.

Where are you, OP?

“Do YOU have a nook? Wanna talk about it?”

I’ve eaten more than food in my nooky.

Where they don't have anything as glamourous as a breakfast nook.

With a really long cord.

When I was a kid, the neighbors across the street remodeled their kitchen and put in a nook with built-in seating area. Like a rounded banquet seat & a stationary table. Like you’d see in an old restaurant.

At the time, it seemed neat, especially because our house was still stuck in 1960. Looking back, their house was fucking ugly.

omg R16 we had exactly that phone growing up

banquette, though. xo

I thought everyone had them in America at one time.

R19, ha ha! I thought about looking it up & decided the story wasn’t worth the effort.

R17, :) . It wasn't. I just posted that in the interest of general edification, not to shame you.

R5 A Nook of One's Own

We had one when we bought the house but turned it into a walk-in pantry years ago. It's great for hoarding.

Full of paper towels, vinyl gloves, TP, pasta and canned fruit these days.

Lol. Same

OP, that nook reminds me very much of Terry Thomas's breakfast nook in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 (1973).

"What a simply 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 breakfast. I could 𝑑𝑜 with this." :D

Yes, I have a Nook.

What happened to Nook's ear?

Aren’t they just aDAHRable!

I have both a nook and a cranny.

We have both nook and cranny.

OP is living in 1974, and has the black book to prove it.

My late ILs had a fabulous penthouse and it had a breakfast nook in the kitchen. None of us were fat, but it was uncomfortable to slide in and out of it, so it just became a place where you might drink a cup of coffee or chat while someone made dinner, but only in the outside seats.

I don't have a nook, and I'm just sick about it.
