Weekend Deals

Do you have one of those rooms in your house that you think is almost finished and then it just as quickly becomes "unfinished?"  My dining room is that space in our house.  Since moving in, I've slowly but surely taken every accessory and piece of furniture from there to use in other rooms until we literally just have the table left standing.  So, I've been scouring through images of dining rooms and I keep finding that white chairs are catching my eye, particularly ones with cane backs.

I love the look of these paired with a dark table. So, imagine my delight when I found six of these for $75 (total)!!!:


My kids climbed all over them (the true test), and they seemed to be in good shape.  And, the caning is all in tact, so it ended up being a deal I couldn't pass up.

I then went in search of fabric and came home with this lattice pattern by Raymond Waites:


It's actually an outdoor fabric (which I thought would be great for a dining room) and was only $7.98/yard.  I was a happy camper! 

I haven't quite worked out the rest of the dining room details, so be prepared for more random thoughts to come. . . .

  23. Wanna hear crazy? I have practically those same chairs in my dining room and that same fabric only in a deep red on another chair in our home. Great minds, huh? Haven't painted my cane chairs (also from CL!) yet, but now I'm tempted...
