I’m feelin’ crazy this January…
Like real crazy.
{It’s probably the foot of snow blocking my path from getting out of my house…}
I’ve wanted to try a “mix and match” or “mismatched” {does that meant the same thing…?} dining room chair situation for awhile.
I’ve tried a few combinations, but nothing has really come together.
Until now.
I found these unfinished wood chairs with these beautiful grayish undertones at a local antique store for $12 each!!!!
Did you hear me? I said $12 each!!!
The owner of the shop was so sweet to me.
After patiently listening to me go on and on about how much I liked the chairs, but I didn’t know if they’d be the right size, and my husband might disown me if I brought home two more random chairs to add to my crazy, out-of-control collections of chairs in our basement, but I really liked them, but I just wasn’t sure….
She let me take three chairs home with me without paying for them, if I promised to bring back the ones I didn’t use. {Oh. And pay for the ones I wanted.}
How nice was she?
It was like she really understood me.
Or she was sick of hearing me talk.
Either way, she was cool.
They are kind of perfect with my table runner that I got at Target last weekend.
Are you mixing up your decorating this January?
C’mon…you know you want to! 🙂
Have a great day!

I have always wanted to do this – kind of like Monica’s apartment on friends 🙂

LOL! Mixing and matching is always such fun. Looks like you hit the jackpot with the chairs. They seem perfect to me!
April Hoff says
Thanks, Robin! You just never know when you’re going to find a treasure!! 🙂

Love these!! I just bought a new dining room table and have two of the same chairs I am keeping and was thinking about mismatching the others. I was unsure, but yours look great, so why not
April Hoff says
Ammmmmen to that! 🙂

I love your style. I have the same chairs that I bought at a neighbors Garage sale. My husband teases me that chairs follow me home. I was able to furnish my lake home with out buying one chair brand new.

‘Ata girl, Karen! You and I have a lot in common! 🙂

LOVE the mix and match chairs April- I’ve been trying it out too… not loving my end of table chairs right now so I am on the lookout for a steal of a deal like you found. Awesome!

Did you refinish your dining table? I really like the look and was wanting the same for myself. Thank you:)
April Hoff says
I did not. It came from my mother-in-law’s dining room this way. 😉 She bought it this way.
