New Dining Room Chairs
Hello again.
I took another trip to the antique mall today and bought a great set of chairs. The photo shows what they look like. These chairs are actually new and recently produced. I have been looking for a set of chairs like this and at thirty-five dollars each I couldn't walk away. My initial thought was to paint them in a bright color, but I am not entirely sure that I should. I also think the blond wood is a great look.
Would you paint them or leave the wood as it is?
I am also wondering what sort of table I should pair them with. I want to avoid a kitchen that looks like a retro diner, but I don't want to choose a table that is so distinctive of another era that they look odd together.
Do you think that I could pair them with a similarly styled table without the room looking overly retro?
Should I choose a different style of table instead?
Thank you for your help.

Regarding table, what about a tulip table. I think those work in any era.
That's a great table style. It's definitely simple enough to work with these chairs.
If you search Tulip Table under the Houzz photos section, you'll see these with a variety of chairs. They're a really versatile table.
I want to mix old with new in my place. I love antiques and vintage items, but I also love modern things.
I am no interior decorator, but I'm having a great time shopping for these things!
Your idea of the painted table is fun too. If the living and dining areas are close, it would be great if you could pull out one of the background colors from your sofa.
I am curious about where the dealer acquired these chairs. He brought twelve in to begin with and a few of them have already sold. They aren't marked. Perhaps he crafts them himself.
