How to remove dining room chair seats
Comments (10)We intend to do the work ourselves. However, my wife has talked with an upholsterer to ask whether dining chair seats are usually glued, as well as screwed on. He says that they are not usually glued, and has offered to look at the chair to see whether the seat can be removed by tapping it with a mallet, now that the screws have been removed. We've only tried one chair at this point. It may be that the other seats will come out just fine....See MoreNeed help with dining room/dining chairs, please! Lots of pics!
Comments (13)Don't write off fabric just yet. You could use microsuede, Crypton, or any of the newer indoor/outdoor fabrics available now. My DD chucked a whole bowl of tomato soup on one of my pale blue microsuede chairs and I swear it cleaned up perfectly. I think softer lines, and fabric, would bring some balance to the angularity of your room. I love the artwork and might think about pulling some color from the painting next to the stairs into said fabric. I know and love your kitchen from the KB. Nice to see you over here. looking forward to seeing more! :-)...See Morewhat color dining room table & chairs would you place in this room?
Comments (4)I think a copper top or travertine top table would look fantastic in there … rustic, but in a more refined way, and with textural interest. Another idea is Mexican pine furniture (painted, stained, or natural/waxed), or Amish made.

Comments (4)Oh my. I’m swooning over your apartment. Those floors! Glorious. A few questions for context: Budget range? Number of chairs desired? What are your favorite styles, besides modern? I’m wondering if you’d want to do a mix of classical and modern. Have you gone to any Paris flea markets? I would. :) If you haven’t already, you might want to browse Chairish and First Dibs for local things … even if just for ideas and inspiration. Re: curtains — I’d wait until a few other elements are decided upon, unless you find some you love and want to work around. Your rods look fine, do you want to stay with white curtains? Of the chairs you posted, I adore the Cesca ones (stupidly sold mine 30 yrs ago). But I’d put a spin on them with color. Not necessarily blue or rust, just showing as examples: I like these boucle and metal chairs, but feel boucle has become a bit overdone in some styles: Your last chair, to me, looks possibly uncomfortable, but is interesting: ETA: And mixing a couple of styles of chairs could look pretty fab and more unique. Just one example: These two are from Craft Associates: https://craftassociatesfurniture.com/collections/modern-dining-chairs-and-bar-stools This is from Forom (I’m not familiar with this company, but Cescas are easy enough to find at other places, you could surely find them in Paris): https://www.foromshop.com/products/breuer-leather-side-chair?variant=43151499952259 These chairs are so wonderfully sculptural, and the seller is in Paris. A different take on boucle: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/chairs/set-of-4-chairs-hippo-norr11-light-smoked-oak-barnum-boucle-col24/id-f_34032232/ And here are Chairish sellers in Europe. These are lovely, maybe more traditional than you’d like … but I think they could look fantastic mixed with modern and contemporary styles: https://www.chairish.com/product/6581138/antique-french-medallion-chairs-in-mahogany-1800s-set-of-6 Love the lines of these: https://www.chairish.com/product/14805130/vintage-danish-teak-leather-dining-chairs-no55-by-niels-o-mller-for-jl-mller-1950s-set-of-6 One more, from James + James: https://carpenterjames.com/collections/dining-chairs/products/lawson-leather-chair...See MoreKswl
