I agree with all of you: they're definitely Hollywood Regency. And I should recharacterize my own style, which is probably better said to be "*in* transition" rather than transitional. (: I do like clean-lined pieces, and our DR set is very Mission; the adjacent LR combines Mission and Art Deco; and our bedroom, where these chairs would go, is your basic Recovering Graduate Student/Random Wedding Present room. So funky/eclectic would fit in just fine there. And there's just something about these chairs... The room is a long rectangle. The half without windows is for the bed (not a bed per se, but rather mattresses on a metal frame) and the dressers, which are mismatched yard sale finds. On the other side of the room, I'd like to create a sitting/reading area next to the windows, with a gorgeous view of the mountains (by far the nicest thing about the room!). We got a red and tan handloomed Peruvian folk-art rug for our wedding, and that's what we'll use to set off the seating area. Also on that side of the room, framing one window, are some slender dark walnut modern-styled bookcases. And then the part I'd like to replace: a heinously ugly loveseat that a friend gave us, also on that side of the room. I'd much rather find some reading chairs and an ottoman than a loveseat anyway; the room's not that big, and the loveseat makes it a pain to open and close the curtains and shades. I agree these chairs don't look too comfortable, so they're probably not my ideal reading chairs. But they'd be good for draping the bathrobe or pulling into the LR for extra seating. I love the idea of velvet, and maybe even the box-pleated skirt -- hadn't thought of that, cool idea, thank you! I agree that they're great in a pattern, but I don't want lots of patterns clashing in my bedroom, I don't think. What would you think of a tan velvet on the back and the bottom of the seat, and then the top, round seat cushion in something like this: Here is a link that might be useful: I'd use this pillow cover to reupholster the seat...

Les, that is so funny. With everyone commenting on the floral placement, I did notice that cushion and have changed it. Probably wouldn't have otherwise. I'm still searching for the exact shade of dark brown for sofa pillows. I have some striped fabric with the same colours but it just isn't doing it for me. Maybe with a solid dark brown or cherry red pillow behind. What do you think? Thanks for the tip gk. I'm going to look online and see what info I can find on that. I've tried to trim her claws myself and haven't had much luck. I can't see doing the soft claws on a regular basis so if that stuff works it would be great. Creekylis, we just painted the walls white!!! We had dark warm colours for 8 yrs and I am REALLY ENJOYING the clean white :-) Thanks again everyone for the nice compliments. Off to peruse the web for drapery fabric.

Yes that's true, @shelleyuk. I'm not too sure that the two smaller tables would match elsewhere but that's probably what I'll have to do. Thanks for replying 😊 ...is there anyone in the same boat who could have the smaller ones?! ;)
