That is definitely something we're considering! Thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by to read. :-)<br /><br />Ashley - thanks for the encouragement! Seems like there is a lot of support for the "go bold" route, haha! Just checked out your blog too - good luck with the house hunt, so exciting!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054776062178368034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203398184890408629.post-63488217155636216292012-01-11T15:09:13.223-05:002012-01-11T15:09:13.223-05:00I actually love the bold print of those chairs!

Ana White has some basic build your own chunky farmstyle tables you might want to check out (anawhite.com) if that's an option! Maybe find a couple of used upholstered chairs and then take a visit to a fabric store to customize to your home. You've done a great job and I love stopping by to see your progress!<br /><br />Ciao!<br /><br />Guerrina in CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203398184890408629.post-68800307859791822092012-01-09T18:33:22.428-05:002012-01-09T18:33:22.428-05:00Diana - we'll want five, which is an odd numbe...Diana - we'll want five, which is an odd number in both ways. :-) One at either end of the table, and three along the wall side.<br /><br />Kit - I loooove that pin! I've pinned another mismatched-chairs one: http://pinterest.com/pin/71846556524878257/ but yours is way more fun... Now I am back to undecided (as well as between the barn wood table and the slab table). Hrmmmmm.... Oh, and totally irrelevant, but this made me think of your cool drawer unit: http://pinterest.com/pin/71846556524907326/ You should just build this instead!!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054776062178368034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203398184890408629.post-44726952241471937962012-01-09T11:45:50.976-05:002012-01-09T11:45:50.976-05:00AND we're so going to have to do a road-trip u...AND we're so going to have to do a road-trip up to Traverse City to check these out in person. Gorgeous table! <br /><br />Also, I really like the fabric on your second option of chairs. I think the dark and white fabric is the way to go with all of the other color you have in the house. <br /><br />Have you see this pin? http://pinterest.com/pin/46513808621157872/<br /><br />I love the mixed painted chairs (and metal). Could totally see that working for you too, but with different colors.Kit @ DIYdivahttp://diydiva.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203398184890408629.post-72445133502623221342012-01-09T08:54:45.665-05:002012-01-09T08:54:45.665-05:00I like the bold pattern better and I also think it...I like the bold pattern better and I also think it's going to hide dog associated stains better than the very light striped pattern. :-)<br />FamkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203398184890408629.post-46770809343224270142012-01-09T00:05:23.531-05:002012-01-09T00:05:23.531-05:00I like the look of the striped ones the best.
