I think you could still pull it off if it's heavy weight fabric. Sorry I broke your rule. (: *I didn’t read about the no curtain. I think you could still pull it off if it’s heavy weight fabric.

My beau and I like the idea of taking is, so we might register for your next one... So, I have a fetish for all things house related, I clicked on your cateogry and found this post. I think the bar/appliance nook is an easy solve: 1) Get a tension rod from Fred Meyer. Make or find and alter a stylish curtain. If you don't sew, you can make no sew curtains. This solution will be cheaper than buying wood and hardware for a door. 2) Unless you can get the door to recess and the border of the nook can act as a frame. Then you can have concealed storage. Maybe with one of those latch systems that are magnetic? It'd be very Sherlock Holmes. I happened across your site because of the Cooking for Little Vegans Class that you ad recently.

Kitchen nooks can be used for appliances. Especially if your spaces are as large as they look. think about counter-top appliances that take up too much space, or maybe appliances you wish you had counter room for but don't. kitchen aids, food processors, grills etc would all fit.

I don't know what I would use the nook in the dining room for. (And I see that you have a McDougall book in with your cookbooks- I love that book) I love the nooks in your house and I actually think that the cookbooks look great there.

I approve! for the dining room nook, I'd put stacks of plates/platters, and/or glasses/stemware. Free up lots of space in the kitchen. tea/coffee nook! I approve!

Yeah, I got nothin'. Those are some odd nooks.
