And Now...Where Do I Find A Dozen Chairs?

Well, maybe not quite a dozen, but several.

I love the look of mixing chair styles at a table. The above dining area is a creative example included in an Ideabook written for Houzz  recently, entitled Mixed Company.


But for a table as large as I now have, keeping it simple might be the better route to go. Perhaps two styles?

I have a couple of chairs, similar to these above, that will be slipcovered and placed at the table ends. But what about the others?

This collection of chairs is very intriguing! I think they work together largely because the chairs and table share a similar finish.

The trend to bring in chairs not specifically designed to go with the table certainly allows for creativity and individuality.

The dining room in this stunning townhouse is a great example.

It's an approach that is effective whether using a large number of chairs or just a pair.

I think it might be time to scour Craigslist or hit some thrift stores in search of a collection to refinish!

How about you? Are you liking the mixed company look these days, or do you prefer to stay coordinated?
