Back in August, I started a makeover of this dining room. We changed out the carpet for tile.
Jeff built the shelves for his plate collection.
I sewed up some new curtains.
What we still needed was chairs. Not just any chairs, as this room is not big and has 2 odd angles that look nice but take away from the square footage.
I've been patiently looking and hoping to find the right style.....

| and it paid off' we got 9 chairs for $10 for all of them! They were an Ebay auction - surplus stuff our city was selling. I bid a lot higher because I really wanted them but nobody else bid on them so we got them for almost nothing. |

| small dining spaces need chairs with staight legs, not the kind that flair out as they require more floor space. yep - that is a vinyl tablecloth, this is a real house with real people living in it. I like fabric cloths but with little ones and sometimes messy adults, the wipe-off vinyl is just more practical. |

| the flowers are a flat of dianthus that I got at Lowes last week. They will soon be planted outside but our weather has been cold so they are staying inside for now so they don't freeze. I think the flowers may of cost about the same as the chairs. hmmmmm |
wow...those chairs are quite a find! I'm laughing at how little you paid for them! How fun to find such a super deal!
