Ever feel like you take two steps forward and then 10 back in a room.
Well, that has been my dining room.
Just a hot mess express hodge podge of everything.
After moving out this summer then moving back in at the End of August we have been very intentional in keeping only what we Love and will have for a while.
Here is the before: "progress" photo
Basically the only thing I was loving in this room were my two pretty x back chairs we found at a local home decor boutique.
After we re-settled at the house I busted out the Annie Sloan and painted the table.
See that post here.
And the table and 2 x back chairs have a more cohesive look.
So... we have been looking and looking and looking for the right chairs to put at the head of the table.
There has been lots of "pinsperation" and even more research to make sure we get the right thing.
Here are some of the kitchen table and chair "sets" I found and loved.
Finally I just picked something I liked... and...
In steps the Greyson Chair from World Market.
We saw this chair in person when visiting Mobile over Labor Day and my very sweet mother in law dropped by their store (after we returned home) to pick a pair up for us.
I CAN NOT wait to get them when we are down there for a wedding in 2 weeks!!
Stay tuned for a picture in our actual dining room.
The wood detailing is just a hair off but I think we can make it work.
So... the saga continues now that we are a family of four. We will just have 4 chairs and if anyone comes over we will be scrounging for an addional seat at the table.
(this dining room decorating is turning into the book 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie',
because now I want freshly painted walls to go with my new curtains, freshly painted table and new chairs.)
The Madeleine chair from Restoration Hardware looks pretty similar to what we already have.
(Wish we could get two more from the boutique here in town but they cannot get any more!! boo)
Hopefully after the new year we can complete our table and chairs set with two of these pretty ladies!
What do you think?

I think they could work!!
