budget? do you want wood or upholstered? is the table antique or new? overall style of the room? pics always help.

Hi,
Here is a pic of where the table will go.,it is a condo with gorgeous ocean views , that we won't be moving to for a year or so. My grown kids are using it it the mean time.

The in -line dining room is only 9.5 feet wide, but about 15 long. The table is 38x60, with a pull out extension on each side for a total of 90 inches. It was a friends table and is solid oak from the 1930's .,it does have a annoying curved H stretcher near the floor that keeps chairs from being tucked all the way.
Could have up to 4 chairs per side.

Cloth chairs at the ends would be fine, but I don't want anything too precious for grandchildren.

I will probably be painting the walls a pale silvery grey, and white trim. New sofa, chairs and area rug for sure in the living room, so can tie in color as necessary. It is a lovely space, but presently very 90's boring beige.

Want a casual relaxed look, and yet this table is pretty chunky. It is somewhat browner and less orange than the picture dictates, but not opposed to making it even darker.

Thanks




We have large family dinners

PS, that is not my country kitchen in the background, but the elderly friend I am getting the table from. My current style is fairly transitional, perhaps a little dull which I brighten up with white or silvers accessories.

Pretty English pub table. If you want what you would normally see, go with a oak chair like in this picture.

You could use almost any simple chair style, painted or not.

Pretty open to any ideas. Budget is probably $2500, won't be buying any original tulip chair for sure!

I suppose if I find 6 oak chairs, then two Upholstered chairs at the ends. I presently have an all wood set with only a bar cart in my L shaped living-dining room and must say it is safe but dull.
Please ignore the real estate pics, and the table surroundings. I do manage to put together decent decor and am asked to help others. With myself though, I definitely do agonize until a designer simplifies my dilemmas.

If necessary, can lose the table altogether, just love the solid wood, size, and the way the leaves work and store. Will post again once it is in the new space.

If you have grandchildren, I would go with oak chairs that can be scrubbed down and if you want something more "elegant", two upholstered chairs on the end would be great. I would start looking for you never know when you find them.

We also have a heavy antique oak table and updated it with two Lee Ind. chairs for the heads of the table upholstered in peacock blue velvet. Then we just used plain oak chairs that match the table for the side chairs.

I feel better already! All wood will be difficult to match and is a look I am not comfortable with. I stressed over seeing the English pub look,wondering how I got there.

The peacock chairs is my inspiration. While I always use neutrals, I love the idea of blue as the accent. Saw some French blue/ teal low back leather chairs that would be fairly easy care and punch up the table. May use rattan or something on the ends, that can do double duty in front of the very sunny living room window. New light fixture, some art and all is good!

Parisian not French. Lol,

I'm really obsessed with Windsor chairs. So that's my vote, but those leather chairs are very cute! Beautiful table!!
