Pedller's Mall Haul

A neighboring town has recently gotten a Peddler's Mall-which is an indoor flea market of sorts-lots of small booths filled with both trash and treasures. It has become an almost weekly pilgrimage for the females in my family. My awesome mother spotted a couple of gems on one of her recent visits that are now happily ensconced in my kitchen and guest room.

The first A midcentury "West German" office chair:


The second A 1950's Banquette:

It was in rough shape but the proportions are perfect for my space and it positively drips 50's cottage charm.

 The top had quite a bit of damage. So I'm in the process of stripping the layers of contact paper and dirt and then priming and painting the top.
 Also the banquette came with two benches. It seemed a little crowded in my small kitchen so I split them up and am using the other in the back porch entry area. This was a perfect solution as I have been hunting for a bench that I liked for ages.
Awesomeness.
