My Louis chairs have arrived and even though you only see 4 here, there are 6 of them! I was just getting a feel of how they looked. Anyhow, I'll be deciding this week on what they'll look like. I'm SERIOUSLY leaning toward PAINTING them all white with a faux/patent leather white seat for easy cleaning! I may even add a few decorative tacks along the edge of the seat area!
I'm ALSO still wondering if I should keep the table....what do you think???

These chairs are gorgeous! I vote yes on the white leather and decorative tacks.
ReplyDeleteYour chairs look fab!! I still love your table, I guess it depends on how your chairs will look....also a lovely round table would be amazing too
ReplyDeleteAgree -- white faux leather and decorative tacks would look awesome!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the prospect of a new apartment to decorate exciting? Almost exciting enough to help you forget the prospect of packing :)
Oh they are stunning! I love them. I think white leather would be great. Maybe do a faux ostrich fabric to add a little bit of texture, but still easy clean up.
ReplyDeletejen, love the chairs! am kind of seeing them with a round or oblong-ish dining table...

MRS. CHIC: Yes a round table would look nice...but not sure for 6 chairs, thats alot of chairs.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knows where i can find faux croc or faux ostrich leather let me know... :)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking a new table and love your plans for the chairs. Yes faux ostrich would look great!
ReplyDeleteohhh my goodness I love them!! Keep them white for sure. ANd I love your table keep it sister!

beautiful! love the all white idea.
ReplyDeleteAll white chair would look great and you could keep the table as they will go perfectly. Warwick fabrics have faux ostrich and croc leather under their Lustrell range but they are an Australian company. Wish I could help you with a US supplier. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThey are GORGEOUS! I really like the idea of white on white!! I can't wait to see what the future brings for you and your home!
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful! agree on doing faux ostrich. i think a simpler, more modern table if you do choose to replace it. new house, how fun?!
ReplyDeletethey are GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats :)
Beautiful chairs, lucky you!! White leather is a great idea but I'm thinking maybe a round table and something larger? Good luck and keep us posted!! :))
ReplyDeleteThese chairs look great!!.. Are you planning on painting them?? I think they would look amazing as is with an acrylic table.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the chairs, Jen. RICICULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteohhh i love those chairs! i think the white leather will look great.

Ohhh, they are very nice! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteJen..they are awesome..but very gold arent they...I think painting them white will look fab! I still love that table...but Im unsure as to wheither the two fit well together..perhaps after you paint the chairs you may get a better feel for what works. Cant wait to see the finished results xo
ReplyDeleteI love the table....I think it will look even better with the chairs once you make the updates you are considering
ReplyDeleteI love the chairs and I do think the white paint on them would be divine! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI like the direction you're going with the chairs. I'd like a couple of those for my home! For faux ostrich fabric, try fabric.com They have in in various colors.
ReplyDeleteYes white faux leather upholstery and white paint would look great! What about painting the surface of your table white and changing the base to steel? I think the edgy look of the steel and the traditional look of the chairs would look incredible together!
ReplyDeleteI think that the chairs will match the table nicely if you paint them white. I'm having difficulty visualising the fabric for the chairs... I think it would look lovely, but not sure if that combo would match with the existing table?
ReplyDeleteThose look like they are in perfect condition. Awesome get! I love the table, but not loving it for those chairs. The height of the chair back isn't flowing with the thick dark top of the table. Love the legs of the table with the chairs though. My two cents would be to be on the hunt to get a larger rectangular or oval table.
ReplyDeleteYaayy so exciting!!
ReplyDeletehmm decisions decisions :)
Happy Tuesday
edyta
hotness- love them!
ReplyDeleteHow excited are you? They look fabulous! Can't wait to see them finished.
ReplyDeletemmmm, gorgeous chairs, painted white would look fantastic (but i really like white).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you decorate your new home, before and after pictures are a must!! Hope your move goes smoothly.
Hey Jen-
ReplyDeleteSorry, I didn't know you were asking for a place to get the faux croc/ostrich leather in your first post concerning the chairs. Here's where I got the fabric for my project (which I will be revealing this or next week)...

Hope that helps...let me know how it goes. ( =
I say scrap the table. The chairs call for a more elegant, glitzy table.
ReplyDeleteSTEPHANIE: Yea I think I may get a rectangular table...a circular table won't work for 6 chairs in my opinion. :)) thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're going to replace this super gold to white!
ReplyDeleteWhite is modern and simple which we find quite often these days and gold looks like in old Royal palaces. May be stay with gold? ;)
JEN! Those chairs are so stylish...I love them - a great find! Good luck with everything moving related...I moved recently and so I know it can be a bit stressful!
ReplyDeletewonderful chairs! i would paint gray / black and add black faux croc seatings
ReplyDeleteThose chairs are beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteDecorative tacks would look great!
Kisses,sweetie
Ps: I am having a really great GIVEAWAY today…hint?(something you can wear) so please join in !!!!
can't get over the chairs, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese chairs are so lovely... I can't wait to see what you do with them. I think they'll look perfect with the table you have once they're painted white.
ReplyDeleteI think the chairs are great but the table seems a bit small for them I also think that a round table would look great with them you can always use the other two chairs somewhere else in the house and bring them out as needed. Great buy!
ReplyDeleteBRI: I am also thinking the table may be too small ...am looking for a new table now :) thanks for your input!
ReplyDeleteLoving the chairs! I definitely think painting them white would look amazing! Your table is beautiful but might be a tad small... what a shame. But the options are endless! : )
ReplyDeleteWILL: Thanks so much! I've moved so many times , but this one might be the biggest move...as I've acquired so many things since the last time i moved.
ReplyDeleteI would paint the golden part of the chairs in the color of the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to sit on leather. In the summer you hang out in mini shorts or skirts, and then leather sticks on your legs, I hate that feeling.
But I would leave the sitting white...
Ok, so this was my idea!
xoxo
G.
sounds like a good plan. i like your table and if it is placed on hardwood floors...stunning.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for your move! Can't wait to see what you'd do with a new place :)
ReplyDeleteWhere is your table from? I am looking for one for my apartment and this is exactly what I want!

ReplyDeleteCOURTNEY: thx! I bought the table at a local consignment shop. I'm going to sell it because I think I need something bigger with these chairs.
ReplyDeleteHey Jen,
ReplyDeleteGreat score with those chairs! As for mixing, totally depends what you want to play up. If you want a modern contrast, I could totally see you pairing them with one of the glossy white tables from my post today.
Or you could go more rustic. I love the combination of Louis chairs with Restoration Hardware's Flatiron table and the Kitchen table version is a good size and price.

Or maybe West Elm's Modern Farm Table? Not sure about those with the leather though.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Ooh I love them! Looks great with the table too.
ReplyDeleteLove love love your new chairs! What a score!
ReplyDeleteNAOMI: I really love that table by restoration hardware...am really considering it, thanks soooo much!
ReplyDeleteI think they are beutiful as they are. I would wait until the age and then replace the seat cover with patent leather. The table is nice but doesnt do much for the chairs. A nice runner of table clth could change that.
