Bench Seat Turned Kitchen Banquette

6 Hours
Easy
My kitchen and family room are separated by a half wall and I have been dreaming of building a custom built-in banquette for some time now. I decided to add a non-permanent banquette to the half wall by repurposing this bench seat that once sat in my bedroom. Using Annie Sloan chalk paint, a couple of decorative pillows, and matching wire storage baskets, I created a non-permanent kitchen table banquette that fits perfectly along the half wall.
The best part about it is its flexibility; I can easily use it for additional seating while entertaining or move it if it doesn't fit into my party plans.

    Love it! You really gave me an idea! I have an area that is driving me nuts! To small for a 36" table and I can't find a good 30" square so I am thinking about a banquet! This temporary one would be worth trying!
