last week I scored six midcentury modern teak chairs for my (casual) dining room. for years I have been searching for a matching set that fell within my budget. I'm overcome with ideas for upholstery and I need your help to narrow down the fabric search:
the first chair is nearly identical to my six (I also have two captains). other photos here show a variety of midcentury designs to give an example of the clean simple lines of the furniture with the five types of fabric/patterns I'm interested in:- leather or vinyl (in black, cream, teal or apple green)
- classic tweed or boucle (surprise, I'm liking the multicolor tweed)
- geometrics (black & white or that amazing zig-zag)
- stripes
- big bright floral/paisley
see the poll in the sidebar? please cast your vote*. in addition, if you leave a comment with your selection and/or further thoughts, you will be entered in my very first giveaway. the lucky winner will receive a brand spanking new copy of tricia guild's inspiration. comments are open until 6:00pm est sunday, december 7. you'll need to leave a comment in addition to your vote to be in the giveaway.
*I ask for and value your input because I know that each of you has an exceptional artistic eye and fantastic style. however, my dining room is not a democracy; it is a monarchy and I am the queen. as the queen, I reserve all privilege to rule against the majority.
