Help with dining chairs to go with this table
Comments (12)Hi Sam, I know where you're coming from, I too wanted to buy such a beautiful ornate table for my new home still under construction but it just wasn't going to look like it matched the modern home I wanted to put it in. I also wanted to feel like it could be used as most kitchen tables in a home are used, especially for me living on a farm, for eating or repairing something on some newspaper etc...impossible to do on such a beautiful table, you would ruin it to see it scratched !!! Not to put a damper on your tastes but your home will look so much better and have more style if you continue to try to match what you already have and that's at least a stunning kitchen that you've shown us all on this forum. If you think of the style and colour of your kitchen everytime you want to buy something or decorate, it will hep ground you to keep it similar. I understand there are people who say it's nice to have countless pieces of furniture that are all different in some way, as it can look like you acquired them along your journey in life but I think that this mixture of designs and colours doesn't gel in a modrrn house very well at all, perhaps a quaint old cottage but not a modern home with a lovely kitchen like you already have!!!...See MoreI 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 MoreNeed help in choosing a dining table open kitchen/dining
Comments (6)A glass dinning table with dark timber legs in a X cross look in the middle of table will be ideal . You can still see the beautiful floor tiles and the dark timber legs will look amazing over the grey tiles. Have full fabric greyish brown chairs with same leg as the table....See MoreChair suggestions needed for my dining table
Comments (10)What a beautiful room, table is great, I love transparent furniture also it could work well with your room, I can imagine it with your table but a more luxe look could be stainless to blend with benchtops or leather or be brave and mix it up for a more contemporary look, depends on the style you are after, fab room...See Morepottsy99
