The only drawback to this table was that it didn't have any chairs with it. I didn't think anything of it at the time. I thought it would be pretty easy to find chairs that I would like to complement them. Only two little problems with this - First, It took me a long time to pick out what style of chairs I would like. Second, the chairs that I like were way out of my price range.
Thus began my search for dining room chairs. I checked Craigslist constantly, I was always on the lookout at vintage stores, thrift stores and any other type of stores that might carry affordable dining chairs. I had all but given up on finding chairs and was juuuust about resigned to the fact that I might need to expand my budget.
And then the pieces all came together last weekend. As I was driving to run errands, I saw a sign spinner advertising for a new thrift store that had just opened up. I stopped in on a whim and then I saw them. 6 cane back chairs for 50 bucks. And thanks to my wheeling and dealing, I sweet talked them down to 40. The cane back was in great shape and the structure was good. The upholstery was nasty, but my creative spark ignited the fire to take on a new project. New foam, great fabric (on sale) and a little paint and voila! I have dining room chairs. Results below!
