More nookie

Here is the breakfast nook bench, screwed to the wall but without its false paneling rails and stiles on the back or molding on the base.

I wonder about the height of the window. It has always seemed high for a nook window. Aren't they usually just above the table-top?


I ordered the floor- Armstrong Excelon tiles from Lowe's, where they are $30 a box with free shipping to the store. Online, some stores wanted $1.69 per tile, and then $200 for shipping (granted, I didn't call to ask if they could just UPS four boxes to me)














I thought I'd get artsy with the shavings from the seat edge.
