[Breathe] Back to the main event...
After my new table score last weekend, I got a lot of comments about the chairs and what I should do with them. Truly, they are adorable and they have been fine for us over the past 12 years, but they are really rickety, squeaky, and beyond help. Handy hubby has already reglued them to no avail. They are also quite small so when particularly tall people sit in them, I wonder if they think they are children's chairs!
So they may need to go. If they were in good shape, I would just paint them and call it a day. But it's not that easy...
So I have started a chair search on Craigslist and elsewhere. I found a set of chairs on Craigslist for $100. I loved the style but they were just a little wide and the seats were a little low for the new table.
Then I saw some chairs at World Market that I really liked.

But World Market is having a friends and family sale this weekend. 25% off everything... Happy Dance!!
So unless Craigslist yields something sooner. These puppies are coming home with me.

I like your chair choice. World Market is great for furniture! We got our foyer table, end tables and a glass front cabinet from there not too long ago on a similar sale, and I'm very happy with them. They were inexpensive yet still stand up to Maelin's repeated toy bangings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the YHL spot :) Your house looks great.
ReplyDeleteFound you from YHL! I'm your newest follower :)
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for that table for over two yers now on craigslist and he has not come through for me yet. We have 5 in the family so 48 inches with 2 leaves is mandatory. I have cream Napolean chairs that will go perfect with it. As soon as I find it. Congrats on your find :)
ReplyDeletewoo hoo!!! congrats!
ReplyDeleteand i, too, love pedestal tables. we don't have an eat in kitchen, and we have too many people over all the time to do a round dining table permanently, but i dream of one day having an eat in kitchen with a pedestal table and some colorful chairs!
Melissa~Congrats on being featured at YHL! All of your pictures looked gorgeous! Love the chairs and love that they are going to be on sale! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I found your site from YHL. And I am so inspired! I live in a similar home (pre-addition) and my husband and I are trying to sell and having a devil of a time. We love the house and our neighborhood and have always talked about an addition, and now that I see your absolutely *stunning* addition, I am excited about this Plan B! I'll be stopping by from now on! Love your blog and your style!
ReplyDeleteHello! I love (love, love) your house! Found it on YHL and am thankful for the tour. My husband and I are currently remodeling/re-building our house. Your's is an inspiration!

In case anyone else wants to take advantage of the WM Sale! http://www.worldmarket.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3846461&camp=em:wk8tuesFF:eD:coupon
ReplyDeleteOur dining room is from WM and I love it. It's held up really well, even after having been moved by not-so-careful movers a few times. I know it's not going to help you out right now, but every December they have a sale where all their furniture is 50% off, plus another 10 if you sign up for their credit card (and cancel shortly thereafter ;))
