Vintage Furniture Finds
This month I’ve had great luck finding several vintage pieces of furniture that I love. I really don’t need any more furniture, but if I see something I like at the right price, I can’t resist buying it. Thank goodness we have a basement!
I found this mid-century chair by way of Craigslist. It needs a tiny bit of glue and reupholstering and after will reside in my family room.
This office chair was purchased when I bought the orange mid-century chair. It is super comfortable and I’ll use it somewhere, perhaps as my sewing chair. It needs new wheels and then it’s good to go
This mid-century chair is in excellent condition, although the upholstery is a bit faded. I imagine that it originally was in a living room where it was rarely sat upon. I plan to upholster it in the same fabric as the chair above to have a coordinating pair.
My favorite find this month is a vintage lab stool. A metal tag on this chair is marked, “Madison College.” Madison College became James Madison University in the late 70’s, so this chair I would guess is from the 50’s or 60’s.. Perhaps my mom sat on this stool when she was a Madison College student in the 1960’s.
