Dining chair question for a farmhouse style dining room
Comments (42)Beautiful room! I love the combination seating you have but if you decide to not use the bench for some reason then I would suggest 2 more black Windsor side chairs and just use the parsons at the head and foot of the table. I have white upholstered chairs at the head and foot of my RH salvaged pine trestle table and wood side chairs with slips only on the seats. I love this look - the linen slips are a nice, soft contrast to the rustic table. I was also considering black Windsor side chairs for my table but wasn't sure and then found my chairs on sale at Shabby Chic. I fell in love with them because they're so pretty but DH is not a fan due to comfort. He would have preferred the Windsor chairs. Looking at your photos, I can see they would have looked great! Can you share where you found your sign and clock hanging on the walls? I need to find some interesting wall decor!...See MoreDoes the wood color on the island chairs need to match he cabinets?
Comments (23)Lovely kitchen! I agree with others those bar stools aren't working though. Since the dining room table will be close by the island, I might do something different in color to set them off. What about a molded Eames-style chair in a bright color? I don't particularly care for the color below, but they come in a host of colors, and you can get ones that swivel: Depending on what color your back splash is, I think this peacock blue color would work well in your space: I have the chair version of these in white as our dining room table chairs and have two young kids are the are easy to wipe down and worry-free....See Moredining room with metallic walls. matching cushions?
Comments (5)You have no contrast going on between your wall color and your fabric. What color besides metallic are the walls exactly? They look brown in the photo. Is it possible for you to pull up the shades and take the pictures so some light is in the room so we can see what is going on? I do think the window seat walls should be the same as the rest of the room. Right now I think the bench seat cushion and chairs need different fabric. Everything is dark. But first we need better pictures that are lighter and paint colors as well as a photo of the entire space and furnishings. Can't make a call based in the pictures you've provided ;-)...See MoreIs it a dining room or a chair convention?
Comments (39)Ok, I recognize I have worn out my welcome with this one 😎 1. I am going to keep the armless side chairs from my mother and try to get the ketchup stain off one of the chairs. 2. I am going to keep the the fully upholstered chairs on either side of the breakfront, the armchairs at head and foot of the table and my mother’s chairs in the middle position on each side. 3. If I can’t get the mother’s chairs clean i will upholster them in matching green damask. 4. If the all green scheme needs relief I will reupholster the chairs on either side of the china cabinet either in the curtain fabric or some as yet unfound fabulous fabric. Thank you all for your participation in the latest episode of Fix My Dining Room!...See Morebondia
