Comments (4)You need to post this on the conversation side of the board so people will see it and give you some feedback. This gallery is mostly for filed or finished projects....See MoreHelp with contemporary white chairs 4 small kitchen please!
Comments (34)Jterrilynn - The chairs that you posted are kinda cute...if only they didn't have spindles in the back, I'd almost say perfect....(spindles are just too country for me)...I agree that they need to have a low back and that is exactly why I am having such a hard time finding any. I have been keeping an eye out on criagslist as well as local thrift stores on the rare occasions that I have time but there seems to be nothing but old country kitchen type chairs...nothing that would work for me. If only I could be so lucky. Clairbouyant - Yes, I did consider a banquette but just don't have the time to build anything right now and I stink at sewing so thats out too. I've been dealing with some computer problems lately so needless to say...I still haven't found what I'm looking for just yet but will definatley post back when I do....in the meantime....I'm still hoping to log in one day to the perfect chair! Someone suggested that I look for restaurant chairs because they are usually smaller....just wish I knew a good source. Ever search I try just ends up showing the same expensive chairs I've already been finding. Ugh....so frustrating....See MoreContemporary or tropical...design help please!
Comments (29)An out of the box idea came to me about your house: there are amazing wonderful inexpensive solid wood furniture that are sold in these stores that sell Asian (usually from Thailand, China, and Indonesia). These are usually made of teak or Asian oak that are very light in color. They are really durable tropical wood. I actually have a bench by my front door made from reclaimed wood from a torn down building in China. The scale of these furniture is amazing. My bench is made of 6 inch thick pieces of wood. What about using some of these pieces of furniture to make unfitted unique kitchen in your house. Crate and Barrel is selling alot of furniture with this wood. The colors would be absolutely stunning with your light stone floor. (They look like unpolished slate) The texture would also look great since the grains in these wood are slightly rougher and you leave it as is. This will bring in the tropical theme since they are truly the Asian tropical origin. I am not a fan of palm frond, teal and coral tropical decor that you see in rental condos....See Moremy life is contemporary and beige. From cream to dream, please help.
Comments (12)I’m interested in Paint colours. I noticed the green accent pillow on your sofa... How do you feel about green on your walls and ceiling? Edited to add: I also think a rug would be an awesome addition to the living room, like Z mentioned. Size it so that all of your furniture sits on it -- front legs minimum, back legs ideally....See Moremahatmacat1
