the chairs: progress
Remember this inspirational post about my dream dining room table and chairs? Well, I got my fabulous table. Then I began “collecting” inexpensive wooden chairs that I could paint the same color in order to unify the decor.
Can I tell you that I have had the hardest time finding inexpensive chairs? Everyone wants like $40 for a chair? Come on people! If I am going to buy a beaten, old, squeaky chair, the price must be right. Nevertheless, I have found and painted 2 such chairs, with a 3rd waiting in the wings for a nice sanding and paint job.
I decided to paint the chairs the same color as our fireplace to attempt to tie the color schemes of the two rooms together. Plus, I have a good half a gallon of the sagey green paint left, so I saved a bit of money too!
I will keep you updated on my progress!

wow these look great – can’t wait to see the whole set. Do you have a dinning table yet?
Colleen, Thanks! Glad you like them! Here’s the link to the blog post with the table. It is simple and square and we found it at a thrift shop.
