This morning I came across a blog called Nest Egg, written by the talented interior designer Rachel Halvorson, and this gorgeous high-backed bench stopped me in my tracks. Wow. Love that. It’s part of a kitchen remodel she’s working on for a client in Montgomery.
This corner of the room with the table and banquette seating is beautiful, too:
This adorable pup named Bean tries to steal the show, though:
Check out Rachel’s blog Nest Egg to see the before photos (and more afters) of this kitchen remodel that’s still in progress. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!

“Wow” indeed!!! That bench is amazing! I love benches in kitchens. I think they’re so comfy and great when you have small children, especially if they’re made of outdoor fabric.
This one is to steal our hearts!
Have a lovely day, Julia.

Beautiful room and so welcoming ! Thanks for sharing the blog.
I love that breakfast nook. Looks great!
There is a teeny, tiny puppy in her blog post after the one you linked that just MELTED my heart! I have puppy fever right now!
I know–that pup melted my heart, too! So cute.
Oh man, check out that ceiling!! *drools*
Now that would be a nice place to have your cup of tea in the morning in!! love the thumb tack on the kitchen bench..
Gorgeous! I already popped over to see the whole reveal. I am soooo jealous.
Sweet! (The settee & the pup!) It also makes me happy to see a reclaimed wood ceiling. My family room, and my “back porch”, which I plan to make the kitchen dining room someday, were added onto my 101 year old house in 1966…using floor-to-ceiling recycled wood.

It’s lovely, but gee whiz, the before pictures aren’t too shabby, either.
Great looking kitchen! I’ve always thought it would be fun to have some banquette seating in the kitchen.
That puppy in the last photo on her blog is so cute. Makes me want to go over there and play with it.
oooh lovin’ that high back sofa seat. have to swing by.
Love that banquette—wow!! That pup is too much cuteness!
Some great reclaiming work. I love that high back bench as well. But I think I love “Bean” more, such a cutie.
But even cuter, did you see the post before this one on her blog about her new puppy, mr finn? OMG, that is the most adorable little guy.
And I do hope if you do get your pup in a Halloween costume that we’ll get to see a picture. (i was cruising the comments on the other posts).
I am not sure how I came across your website.. but boy am I glad I did! Love..Love..Love it! Thanks so much for putting these out
Sorry to say, I kinda like the before pics better. Owie.
Wow Julia really a stunner. Off to see her site!

What a great place. I love the ceiling.
I love the details on the stairs. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
It’s beautiful and I love the color palette. I just feel like I can’t see everything. I would love to see a shot of the whole room rather than only up-close features. I would love to know if that backsplash in the kitchen is tile. It looks like wallpaper.
Wow! No wonder this blog and post stopped you in your tracks, it’s all so downright gorgeous! Thanks for adding a new blog to my daily reads, Julia
A puppy can add a nice touch to any kitchen.
That is a great bench, however having children and pets usually rules out white leather for most homes. Love the idea of a high backed bench that invites conversation and relaxation in a kitchen.
I like the pics – gives me hope for my own project!
