Things are starting to come together with the dining room. The initial plan was to go with faux bamboo chairs. I had previously found these chairs on Craigslist...
I love them so much but we have one major problem. Doug hates them. Actually, he despises them. Being the really wonderful wife I am I told him we could go with the faux bamboo, but the closer we get the more and more I am wishing we had got them reupholstered. For the record, while they look uncomfortable they are really quite comfy. We will see what happens.
Are you a faux bamboo or modern chrome person?
That chair is so cool & unique... It'd be hard to say no.
ReplyDeleteGo with the modern chrome girl, he'll get over it! I'm loving your blog and am your newest follower:)

Oh no... I loooooooooooooove those. I've imagined those in my own home in fact, upholstered in pink...
ReplyDeletePS. I'll be HAPPY to buy them from you if you decide you don't want them anymore :)
Those chairs are really cool! But I must say I'm a huge fan of faux bamboo and will love them in my dining room!
ReplyDeleteCould you do faux bamboo around the table and put the chrome chairs flanking the entry in your dining room, so you can see them from the table? And reupholster them in a fabric that coordinates with your gorgeous panels? That way you get the best of both worlds? I love both....
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate it when the significant other hates what you love?! K and I have that problem with lucite coffee tables! ha!
ReplyDeleteyou have yourself a dilemma. if i'm being honest, once reupholstered, those chairs blow the bamboo chairs out of the water. they are just so awesome and one of a kind. ask doug very seriously how much he truly cares about the dining room chairs? decorating is one of the great joys of your life and he is taking that away from you by being picky about something he isn't even going to lose sleep over. there is always compromise...you get these chairs, then doug gets something he wants.
ReplyDeletechrome! ;)
ReplyDeletedefinitely chrome. reupholstered. they are showstoppers.
ReplyDeleteOh chrome - those are fabulous - start picking out fabric
ReplyDeletei love that chair... perfect to have it all on its own like a little sculpture!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Reed....those chairs=amaaazing!! You tell Doug that if he wants a man room with manly things then you should be able to recover those gorgeous chrome chairs...OR ELSE you will paint the man room pink and tell all his friends that's the color he picked! haha
ReplyDeleteOohhhh I like the chrome... definitely the chrome. I want them!!
ReplyDeleteWait...A. I don't know how I am just now seeing this but those chairs are amaaaazing!! Craigslist?? You are the luckiest girl in the world! Obviously I would stick with those. My husband has hated a ton of things but once he sees the finished product, he comes around. Maybe Doug will?? xoxoxo Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteOMG! I own 2 of these chairs! I found them in the back of a thrift store for a $1.98 each. I want to re-cover the seats because the leather is cracked. They go perfectly with my chrome and glass dining table.
