Blue Velvet French Dining Chairs in Dining Room

February 11, 2015 by Cassie 40 Comments

Well, I finally had some decent lighting yesterday and was able to snap some pictures in the dining room to share the latest!  The last time you saw this room on the Christmas tour, it had some amazing radomsko black bentwoods as the head chairs and two others flanking our sideboard.

I had recently purchased a set of 4 dusty blue velvet French chairs for Sweet Clover, and they had not sold.  So I believe they were meant to be.  I took them home, and placed them where the black chairs once sat.  Sawyer and Emmy love their comfy seat, and we have had no problems with toppling chairs.

These chairs work perfectly with everything we already have going on in the dining room and kitchen.  They are basically a perfect fit.  Also, they fit under the table nicely, while the radomskos did not.  (Hi Jake!  And do you spy the self portrait Emmy created?)

I love how the color pulls out the dusty blue in the vintage nautical gallery wall.

And check out the stunning details and nailhead trim!

As you can see close up the fabric is not in perfect condition, but it’s the perfect condition for a family with kids and dogs!

Speaking of dogs, you already spied Jake…. It was nearly impossible working in this space without being photobombed left and right!  Here’s Catcher, and Jake’s snout!

It was honestly so hard for me to part with those black bentwoods, I just loved the so much!  But I loved them enough that I didn’t want them to break under my care, and had to let them go!  Sometimes if you love something, you have to let it go… it’s been real, Radomsko.

    I laughed out loud truly when you said you kept the kids! Those chairs are fabulous and it is so nice to be able to walk into your own story and swap inventory! I agree for kids, they need to be heavier and comfier. I bought some non expensive chairs from World Market to temporarily fix my un-comfy chair situation in my dining room and I have to say I love them more then I realized I would. The velvet on yours AMAZING and works so well with the deep colors in your room!

    At first I was like, ummmm…wrong decision. BECAUSE BENTWOODS. But then I saw the new chairs and I was happy you kept your beautiful children because those chairs are stunning. (And bentwoods won’t visit you in the nursing home.)

    These are SO much better! I looove them. Although I’m biased, I like a little cushion on my dining chairs, and French is way more my thing than mid-century. But the velvet pairs with your artwork beautifully! Although your super adorable kiddos would probably generate a higher selling price than the chairs, I think you made the right choice ;). And Michelle is right, bentwoods are far less likely to visit you in a nursing home.

      i keep questioning my choice because the kids talk back and the chairs don’t.

    ah, a difficult decision, but the right one. Those new chairs are gorgeous! I finally took up the rug in my foyer that was driving me crazy needing to be fixed 40 times a day (and that the dogs had decided was close enough to outside on one too many rainy days)…..so I understand how you’re feeling (except I don’t have a fabulous and more appropriate replacement rug yet!)
