I need new dining chairs.
Comments (3)I agree totally Melinda - why buy mass-produced imports (which very likely won't stand the test of time, or you'll tire of) when you can have unique chairs custom-made to your taste? Find a pro who specialises in custom-makeovers of vintage chairs (like me!). If you check out my site you'll see the sort of thing I do. You can either source the chairs yourself from vintage shops, Gumtree or recycling centres ( Canberras Greenshed is a beauty) or businesses like mine can help you. Attached are a few pics of a job just completed - a Parker furniture suite purchased from my local FB Buy/Sell/Swap page for a song and fully refurbished incl. timber finishing and new upholstery. Buying quality Australian-made furniture is a great investment, and even if you eventually tire of it, it has a resale value (unlike the mass produced stuff). Also - have you considered mis-matched dining chairs? A great way to combine vintage finds when you can't get a whole set you like. The trick to making it look intentional rather than accidental is to refurbish them all with at least one repeating element, such as the upholstery, or the timber finish.There's a recent article on HOUZZ showing some great examples). This solution will take longer than buying ready-made from a shop, but the best things in life take time. Good luck!...See MoreWhat rug and pendant light would you suggest for the dining room?
Comments (16)Hi Jayrees, I totally agree with what Kat had to offer, I would suggest a non geometric pattern on the rug as the floor is already geometric, a light colour and subtle pattern if you prefer a pattern. The mirror should definitely be moved and I would consider a large light print to compliment the new rug and and drapes. It's a pity that the window screen blocks the view (it's a nice view) but the heavy screen is a necessity these days, I would remove the stickers from the glass to help with the openness. Just noticed that you have an air con in the room so you may be able to remove the screen....See MoreAny suggestions for cushions, carpet and new upholstery?
Comments (9)hi Jen, What you have done sounds lovely, I understand things can get really busy with colour, I am a neutral person so go with mainly creams and stone colours and white, maybe you could pick up more of a neutral colour scheme and only add the yellow from your painting in say a bowl or vase, white and stone look great together , sounds like we are alike as I dont like things too busy and in your face either, its a lovely big room maybe tone down to blend with tiles and curtains, lots of textured cushions and throw could look better than too much colour, more restful on the eye too....See MoreAny suggestions on redecorating this lounge/dining area?
Comments (20)I think Julies artwork/suggestions are great and you've done well with some changes. I suggest taking a lot of furniture out of the room, and only bring in selected pieces. You have too many now, running around the walls. Learn to 'rest' things or move them on. Hang the TV then discard the TV stand, then use that occasional table to hide cabling. Go to garage sales and look for a nice light fitting. Dont keep furniture because someone you love owned it. They only went down the shop and bought it themselves....See Moresherrytait
