You are so generous to comb your files and come up with so many possibilities! I love the old table with comfy new chairs, whatever the style as long as it's pretty! It's fun to pick up a pair of chairs with old paint or a wood surface that is mellow, and then keep looking for another pair, and then another. In the end you also have a story about each one. Kind of like your tales of craigslist and Alameda... wherever you stumble across even one chair in a style you like, grab it! You may be surprised how beautiful your ultimate combination will become. And you can save lots of money, gathering things gradually as you meet and fall in love with them. One other idea for finding a pair at a time, or perhaps a single one... Alemany flea market every Sunday. It's smaller, but occasionally there will be a treasure. <BR/>Great post, girl!

When I think of dining tables, I always remember a pic you posted a while back of Amy Butler's house, I LOVED the dining table she has. <BR/><BR/>My cousin and her husband made a really fantastic one out of reclaimed wood floors from a stately home they renovated. As a very special touch, the edges of the table were ornate, hand carved crown molding, also reclaimed from the historic property during renovation. So cool!!Carrie Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543899571974228089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-24763995421081593532008-07-23T12:46:00.000-07:002008-07-23T12:46:00.000-07:00i love mix & matchy! i'm cringing, just th...i love mix & matchy! i'm cringing, just thinking about my hand-me-down matching dining set. i think i'll have to start the hunt for real.Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833833976071309278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-86294782310893261492008-07-23T12:40:00.000-07:002008-07-23T12:40:00.000-07:00I love the way the Saarinen table looks with the b...I love the way the Saarinen table looks with the bentwood chairs.
