I think they'll look dated quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-973353 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:28:11 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 973353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I like the second chair best but I don't know much about staging :) I just think it's really really cool and could see it at the head of the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-973349 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:25:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 973349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: The damask chairs are out. No fun patterns for us. I just found these on Drexel Heritage and Thomasville. What do you think? These retailers offer some customization, so I can get the wood in the right color. Also, part wood may not be so bad like @Thou: suggested. The one with a solid wood back was shown online as a side chair with oval back chairs similar to mine as the head chairs. </p> [attach=3033/13/mqpsr2.250x172.82221_832_S11.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mqpsr3.190x190.200-750-Back_S12.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mqpsr5.600x450.587-722.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mqpsr6.400x400.gen_extimage.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-973319 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:18:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 973319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd start with picking the rug before new chairs. If you go with the damask chair it will limit your choices down the line.<br /> I'd also try to stick with the shape of your side chairs. I find that mixing up the back shape makes it look like you've pulled the hairs in from another room. I think a similar shape, plus arms, different coordinating fabric is best for end chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-973213 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:53:46 +0000 mlm2934 973213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that first pic is such a fun chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-973161 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:33:57 +0000 looch 973161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the linen color would be tough to match (and it would bother me a ton if there was a difference in the texture or color) so I would go with a print. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-971022 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:49:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 971022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I like the first two. The Aztec-ish print is unexpected but so neat.. And I love the studded but formal feel of the second one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-970946 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:05:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 970946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super helpful!</p> <p>@photojane: Thanks. I found one I liked, but DH vetoed. Bold patterns are not his style guess.</p> <p>@zippylef: Thanks. Two of your picks got a "hmph," but no veto. I call that a starting point. The gray is less formal, which brings the formality down a peg in that room- good thing. </p> [attach=3033/13/mqo8ar.500x500.iipsrv.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mqo8au.600x600.L14349550.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mqo8aw.600x600.L14769009.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-970246 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 10:19:57 +0000 loveisstrange 970246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/ETHAN-HOME-Ian-Grey-Chenille-Wingback-Dining-Chair-Set-of-2/7295824/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/ETHAN-HOME-Ian-Grey-Chenille-Wingback-Dining-Chair-Set-of-2/7295824/product.html</a></p> <p>Something like this could be fun.

No, the original chairs that were sold with the table were wood backs and cushion seats. I liked these better with the cushion backs. An all upholstered chair for the hostess chairs is what I'd like. </p> <p>Our new floors in that room will be dark wood like the furniture. I may remove the rug altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-970000 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 06:20:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 970000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump. </p> <p>Have you thought about doing a solid wood chair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dining-room-chair-challenge#post-939647 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:07:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 939647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Need some help from you stylish bees!</p> <p>Last year when I bought our dining table and side chairs I thought finding the perfect host chairs would be easy. I like the look of the host/ end chairs being different from the others, but I haven't found host chairs I like. </p> <p>We added in chairs from the kitchen table last year for Thanksgiving, but this year we are having more guests and need more seating. </p> <p>Please, please help me find coordinating chairs over 40" high, in fabric, and with a max price tag of $500/ each. </p> <p>Here's a pic of the room. The current chairs are linen seats with chenille backs. I am open to subtle, neutral pattern or even blue. The drapes are blue and pewter threading.</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq3pgz.450x600.20130717_173928.jpg] </p>
