I've been making a bit of headway with my house lately (yes, I will post pics soon) and my new obsession is my dining area. No, it's not a dining room nor is it very big or grand. It's more like an extension of the kitchen that is also part of the living area (it's a smallish townhouse remember).
I currently have these pieces :
The table was a birthday gift a couple of years ago from my parents and I like it in this space so it's a keeper. I have 2 of the chairs. I bought them many years ago for an office and they were in beechwood. I painted them white and I want to keep them as I still like the shape but I also don't need to spend extra money on 4 new chairs, plus I'm doing my bit for the environment and not wasting perfectly good chairs!
So my little dilema is what do I do for the other 2 chairs?
I don't want to get 2 more of the same because then it would look too matchy match. I want to mix it up with a different style.
My orginal thought was to get 2 clear ghost chairs? I love ghost chairs at a dining table.
Over the next couple of days I will post about my thougts for this little dilema of mine (although fun) and please my stylish bloggy friends, let me know what you think!

Oh I love the ghost chairs too honey...I think something a little more woody..earthy against the white...or industrial looking? would look fab and add another element of texture and tone to the space..just a suggestion? :) x
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like crisp white is there? I think a combination of different chairs is far more chic and interesting -- go for it :)
ReplyDeleteLook at this room / love the combination:

Hope this helps. Cannot wait to see more of your place :) May 2011 bring you many great things! Thank you so much for all of your kind comments on my blog -- they mean so much,
xoxo
Thanks ladies.
ReplyDeleteAnna - I was thinking that too, some steel for industrial look. My floors are dark wenge wood so I thought it could add another element.
Sarah - Great pics, the second just makes me want ghost even more.

Yes do it!! I love ghost chairs & the table would suit the arm rest style as it looks quite high (so the chairs would sit under nicely). Can't wait to see what you decide! I like the yellow bamboo chair also ;)
ReplyDeleteI ordered some of the white replica Eames eifel tower chairs I posted about last week Yey!
