Remember when I said that the dining room was done?
I lied. Well, not lied, just reevaluated.
Turns out that Hubby wasn't the biggest fan of the wide array of chair styles I had collected for this look. He liked the more traditional one on the left, but that was about it. I can convince him into a lot of things design-wise (like a 2-tone kitchen), but apparently my powers were weak with the chairs.
Good thing that I had replacement chairs just hanging around the house... right? Now that I'm attempting to purge my basement furniture hoard collection, I brought up the entire old chair collection and started to play around. I made a valiant last attempt to plead my case for keeping the above 4, but Hubby strongly voted for 4 more traditional styles.
Since it's his house too, and I don't hate these chairs by any means (I did buy them after all.... AND they may have actually been the original 4 chosen chairs way back), it looks like I have some more chairs to refinish! (AND maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to photograph the dining room without it looking dark and washed out at the same time. maybe.)
Only one chair remains from the refinished 4 above, one was refinished for our previous dining room iteration, one is primed but was never painted, and one hasn't been touched at all yet. They look like kind of a mess today, but once I unify them with paint and fabric like I've done before, they'll all be one big happy family.
There hasn't been a day nice enough to finish them yet (paint spraying is reserved for outside only), so until then, the chairs in my dining room may or may not be actually sittable.
Now all that's left to decide is color. Do I stick with the yellow/green that actually grew on me? Do I go for a mid-tone gray? Or should I be crazy and go for a different green? I know which way I'm leaning today, but that could change by the time I get to painting. What do you think?
