Banquettes

Love it or hate it?

{or as my family would correct me: Love it or strongly dislike it?}

n. A long upholstered bench placed against or built into a wall

*Im in love strongly like with this white banquette- not gonna lie.

 Practical? No. 

Beautiful? Most definitely. 

I'm almost certain it is a Verellen piece... aka droolworthy. This one as well..

Ahhh.. there are so many more pictures- these are just a few! I like to see different types of seating around a table so I, for one, am a fan of the banquette.

What about you?
