How to make old dining set fit into transitional setting?

7 years ago

We just got this set yesterday from my parents. It's well-worn but that is why I love it. They purchased it 35 years ago from an antique store. The only mark, besides some numbers on the bottom of the table, is a stamped "H" .


The 2 Captain chairs are still at their house and are the same as the 4 in the picture but they have arms. The rush seat are original and I love them. Unfortunately, my cats think they have died and gone to cat-scratch heaven so I think I need to cover the seats somehow. I want some type of cover/pad that it not too traditional but does not feel completely out of touch with the style of the set (French Country?)



I am not sure if I should keep the 2 shield back chairs in that room. I will wait to see what it looks like when I get the captain chairs for the heads of the table. I also think that the light needs to be changed.

Any thoughts on chair covers or other way to make this room work with this set?

Thx!
