More Dining Room Seating ArrivesAgain, hoping for the best, I placed an online order for furniture. You'd think I would have learned from my previous experience. But...I did have a sizable gift card to use and was in need of a few chairs to complete the dining room seating. So, I opted to throw the dice.
Here is the online image.
And here is what arrived late yesterday afternoon.
LOVE the utilitarian hardware.
I also like how the cane seating introduces another texture.
Even better, my husband sat in one and said, "comfortable, why didn't you order more?"
Shoot...really?
The only issue (of course there's an issue!) is that the wood could be a tad bit smoother.
Don't be surprised if one day I post about a little sanding and Briwax party.
Oh well, happily they also look great with the nearly complete bench.
On a less successful front, the nail head trim to complete that project finally arrived yesterday as well.
Correction, a package arrived. But the wrong style was shipped.
Decorating...it takes patience.

I love them. I was wondering what you would choose to go with the bench. Looks so great!
Looks great your luck was in this time. The wood is beautiful
The chairs are perfect!!! And I agree with your sentiment about decorating and patience, I know that bench is going to be amazing when the right nailhead trim arrives.

Looks great! Are these the chairs from Restoration Hardware? I have been looking at them for awhile. Which finish did you choose? Thanks!
Wow! I a loving the way this is coming together. Love the finishes!
Gorgeous with a capital G! Love it..the finish, the look, the way in looks in your room..total perfection! Isn't that the best, when it arrives and actually looks even better than you expected!!
Those are really the perfect chairs! like, seriously! Emily Henderson used some in a room she did on the show a few weeks ago. I loved them then. I think the ones she used were white!
And you had a giftcard? Wow, I wish someone gave me a giftcard that large;)
Janell, that DR is starting to look wonderful! I am sure that you will create many memories sitting around that table with family and friends for a long time :)
The chairs are absolute perfection with your table, bench and end chairs...gorgeous!!!
Beautiful chairs! And no food stains to worry about.
They are on sale now, I hope you were able to take advantage.
I love those chairs. Did you get them from Restoration Hardware? They look like that style...love that store :)

Yes, the Madeleine chair at RH, currently on special. Lakeitha, I'm busted, this is one card I didn't send YOU for YOUR project, and you have a sharp eye, I was inspired by the chairs Emily used!! Janell
The chairs look ideal with the table that fact that they're comfortable doesn't hurt either.
I love the chairs....but be warned...in my experience those cane seats don't wear very well! We've had numerous chairs like that and all have to be recaned fairly shortly! And then it's difficult to find someone who will stain the caning to JUST the right color! Cushions can help to prolong the life...
Great tip! And this is one reason the kids will have the bench, which they love! I have thought of cushions, thanks for the heads up! Janell
i have two chairs just like that (although mine have arms)......we use them as the "head chairs".....so the kidlets don't get food jammed up in the cane ;-)
The chairs look high end, especially with the wood finish. A sanding & briwax party could be fun!
If anyone has questions about cane I just read Miss Mustard Seed's post today about replacing cane! I now know how to do this if I ever need to.

Love it. Love your blog. Very excited for House of Fifty. Do explain the title sometime incase I missed it. Oh, and currently doing nailhead on a chair, and my hands hurt.
I love your new dining chairs, particularly the wood, the beautiful lines and the details. I think your dining room is coming along nicely.
Great pick!

Those chairs go so good with your table, Janell! Too bad about the nailhead ~ it's disappointing when you are so excited that something has arrived and it turns out to be the wrong something.
Love the chairs. They look wonderful. Can't wait to see it all finished. Hugs, marty
Those are fabulous, Janell.Love the patina/color/style. Have a great wknd. xo
Janell I am glad you ordered them, they look great, They look perfect with your table and the bench. I bet it was such a relief when you opened the box and sat them at the table. Love them!!! Kathysue
You chairs look fantastic with your table! And I so agree about needing patience ... there is always something to delay a project.
love the chairs..they remind me a little of the french bistro chairs..love the wood finish too..great pick, Janell..have a lovely weekend! xx meenal
The chairs look great! Everything is coming together so nicely. xo
Love those chairs! they look perfect with the table and that bench is looking good already.
Wow! Love them! ....and the bench is looking good.....
they are perfect! I love the look of a more country style chair against your more modern rooms.
L-o-v-e!!
Great chairs! You are brave with the caning. My kids would kill it in 2 days! I'm hosting a dining room link-up party this week if you care to join!
That's adorable! Great idea and so easy! I'm hosting a dining room link party as part of my room-by-room house tour series. Would love for you to link-up!

I have been in love with those RH chairs for some time now....they look great! The room is coming along beautifully and I praise your patience.
I love how your dining room turned out! I am considering buying the RH chairs. How have they held up? We will be using them several times a week and my 3 year old grandson and his family live with us.
