A dining room table is such a symbolic thing in a home. It is much more than a place to eat food or a space to fill, it represents a place to gather with friends, family, and loved ones, and create loving memories. Some of my most favorite memories have stemmed from the dining table. My mom made a point that every night for dinner and breakfast on the weekends we would eat at the dining table, all sharing about our days. From biscuits and gravy every Sunday and taco nights each Tuesday, a dining room table is an emblem of family.

Families living in small spaces can still have a dining table and it does not need to be a grand 12-person-long wooden table, filled with a holiday spread. It can be small and dainty and built in just to fit your space. This is what DIYer and TikToker @emmacourtneyhome has done with her custom-built bench seat table that fits in a small nook of her home and uses minimal space to create maximum memories.

The woman's kitchen looks like a cute, cozy, and practical cottage-styled kitchen, with tall cascading cabinets reaching from the countertops to the ceiling, with glass glass-panned doors.

On the end of the kitchen island is a small nook of the kitchen where a traditional round dining table would fit, but this woman took the space up a notch and created a custom-built breakfast nook. The table has a really cool wrap-around L-shaped bench that doubles as a storage bench. A wooden drop-leaf table sits in the middle with matching chairs on the end.

This custom cozy dining nook is so darling and really completes the entire kitchen space!
