It's getting kind of creepy how we are twinsies :wink: The bench on our front porch is from there too! I freaking love that store. (Have you noticed DH has gone nuts on the exterior of our house? We may be a touch excited to be homeowners.) </p> <p>I would like the option to expand, too, but the fact is, we plan to be in this house for a while &amp; the dining room is pretty small so it's fine. And I do actually like that it's a solid piece of wood.

I LOOOVE bench seating on one side and bonus- it's easy to move out of the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-soft-seating-in-your-dining-room#post-1796031 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 15:03:24 +0000 krispi 1796031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have 1 dining area in our house, and we have a large table and chairs with padded leather seats.

We're going to do upholstered or "leather" chairs then a full bench on one side for the kids. DH is going to build the bench and I'm going to attempt to upholster. *gulp*<br /> That last picture you shared. Is it DIY? Haven't decide on back or backless yet! Possibly doing a bench with storage underneath for table linens etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-soft-seating-in-your-dining-room#post-1795950 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 11:36:46 +0000 mrs. bird 1795950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is pretty! but it's a pretty bold print, do you have a color in mind? would you be looking for something with a pattern or a solid?<br /> <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Cassidy-French-Yellow-Cream-Ikat-Loveseat/7538893/product.html?refccid=Q3BJJWMTYYZZJ2CE5X6JVRYBBQ&#038;searchidx=58" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Cassidy-French-Yellow-Cream-Ikat-Loveseat/7538893/product.html?refccid=Q3BJJWMTYYZZJ2CE5X6JVRYBBQ&#038;searchidx=58</a></p> <p>i like the legs on this one<br /> <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/angelo-HOME-Kiwi-Lime-Green-Basket-Bradstreet-Armless-Settee/9067202/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/angelo-HOME-Kiwi-Lime-Green-Basket-Bradstreet-Armless-Settee/9067202/product.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-soft-seating-in-your-dining-room#post-1795946 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 11:32:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 1795946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Good idea!</p> <p>@locavore_mama: LOL, like on the floor?</p> <p>So I found this inspiration too.

It's a casual dining space. We have a giant sectional, but find when company comes over we tend to stay seated at the table for a long periods after the meal &amp; the chairs are plenty comfortable. Not the most stylish space, but it works for us. </p> <p>Random pic at the table &amp; pic of just the chair.
