The breakfast room in Beth’s house is a dining space, workspace and homework space. “The room receives a ton of natural light and is always cozy and welcoming,” she says.

What anyway? Beth is Hunter a breakfast For blogger of Home room, Stories A to Z, it’s a second, informal dining room. “This small space may be the tiniest room in the house, but it also seems to be everyone’s favorite,” she says. “It’s where we eat most of our meals and where I often sit to work or catch up on social media.” Beth transformed the room from builder-basic to farmhouse chic, with fresh seasonal touches. Here’s how she did it.
Beth added open shelves above the cubes for extra storage. The shelves also serve the same purpose as a hutch might—to display her pretty dishes and other serveware. “It’s so wonderful to have more storage space and a place to display my dishware,” she says. “I didn’t buy anything to place on the shelves. My poor kitchen cabinets and attic were holding plenty already.”
