Allison, I was just going to link over to Atticmag. I know that Jane just posted the informal ones, and you posted formal banquettes.

Here's an old GW thread that had some great ideas. It's beyond bumping.

Oh wow...did do a search and somehow missed the last one from 2007. Great info Fori! I never even thought of "morgue" drawers - perfect!

I custom built one in my very small nook with doors initially, and while I loved the storage, I didn't like how to access it. So.....I found Ikea's easy drawers, and installed them. Much easier to access and a tom of stuff fits in there now. So, irregardless of how you do it- go for drawers!
