New kitchen chairs

18 years ago

I've been away from home for 6 weeks and now that I'm getting ready to go back, I'm remembering all the redecorating projects that I had in mind before I left! I have a built-in window seat in my kitchen/family room (it's situated actually in between the kitchen and the family room). We made the table from an old piece of butcher block and a sewing machine base. Originally we bought chairs from Crate & Barrel in an off-white painted distressed finish, but they just don't work for me because (1) their "off white" is lighter than the off-white used everywhere else in the kitchen and (2) the paint is chipping off constantly -- I'm always finding chips of paint on the floor and it's making me crazy. I've thought about just stripping the chairs and letting them be the color of the wood underneath, but I'm also thinking maybe I'll just replace them. Below are pictured two styles of chairs that I love the LOOK of, but I'm not sure how they'll look w/ my table and especially in the case of the metal chairs, not sure if they'd be comfortable? Any thoughts? Also, while I really love the rattan-type chairs, I have not seen them in any stores. Has anyone seen them for sale anywhere?
