A while back I posted about wanting to paint these four chairs blue.
We have owned these chairs since we got married and while I still like them, I am ready to mix it up.
This was my inspiration for wanting to paint the chairs blue. The chairs are great, but how about that mirror. I would love to stumble upon one of those in the thrift store (for about $20). Yeah, right.

After I thought for a while about painting the chairs blue, it donned on me that I already have this fabric that will be used to make slipcovers for our dining room chairs. The dining room is just on the other side of the wall from the chairs I want to paint. Too many blue chairs in too close of proximity to each other.
Then I saw this lovely thing.
I love the idea of mixing in some metal chairs with the wooden table.
However, at $199/chair, that is more than I want to spend.
I will now be on the lookout for some vintage metal chairs at a more reasonable price.

Just to refresh your memory, this is what the space looked like before we purchased the house.
(My husband was reading over my shoulder as I was writing this and he said
"Did we really buy THAT house?"

Here is is during construction and before we moved in.
And here it is now. Well actually this was a few months ago, so of course,
I have restyled that bookcase about 25 times since then.
What do you think? Think the metal and wood mix will work well in this room?
I will need to sell these chairs before I purchase anything else.
Anyone looking for some great, sturdy chairs?
