Instead of doing a major renovation-ish overhaul on the breakfast nook, I decided to embrace its stuck-in-1955 state by working with the froggy green Astroturf floor. Sure, red and green is kinda Santa Clausy; however, with the introduction of dark brown, the yuletide association fell to the wayside.

Unite a set of mismatched chairs and dining table with a coat of paint and tailored tablecloth. DIY Project: Sit Pretty with Mismatched Chairs

Although somewhat difficult to pull chairs up to, I love tailored, floor-length tablecloths for more formal settings. In this image, the mixed-but-coordinated chairs lend a whimsical flair to a traditional table.

Mix styles within the same color palette. This gives you the opportunity to choose a variety of different styles (think inexpensive flea market finds). Using the same color and upholstery throughout instantly creates cohesion.

Matching, but not exactly. These chairs, painted and upholstered to match one another, are stylish and fun and probably cost less than $150 all together.

When decorator Brian Patrick Flynn wanted to spiff up his breakfast table, he rounded up five different thrift and garage sale chairs, stripped them, and gave them a glossy red paint job and matching upholstery. See the step-by-step how-to for this project

About a year ago I was on the prowl for totally un-pedestrian, one-of-a-kind furniture for my breakfast nook. After an hour or two strolling through designer showrooms, it became apparent that what I wanted to spend for the entire room would simply cover the cost of a single chair. This was not okay with me. Eager to get the space ready for one-bowl-of-Cap'n-Crunch-and-two-glasses-of-Cranapple-mornings, I came up with the idea to grab five completely different chairs and whatever table I could find and go from there. With a little kind-of-but-not-really help from my squirrel-chasing, rock-eating friend, Gidget, here's how I took disparate chairs and a less-than-stellar table from garbage to I-want-to-go-to-there:
