I have probably mentioned finding these chairs by the side of the road several years ago on the blog, but I can't find the post anywhere. I'm finally getting around to getting them painted hopefully with the gift certificate I won from Rambling Renovators & Paint it Like New last July.
So my question is: What colour should I paint them? I was thinking some sort of navy blue.
Here are some poor pictures I just took of my messy dining room (As Christine always says Just keepin' it real).
Keep in mind the following:
- I will be moving the plant and the easel and I don't store the vacuum there (although it does add a nice shade of yellow to the room complementing my potted mum)
- I'd like to flank the chairs on either side of the side table (which I want to eventually redo as well).
- My dining chairs are creamy white and I have a bit of red in the room
- I want to get rid of the ikea shelf on the other side but I have to figure out where to put all of my glasses
- I don't want black or white!
What do you think? I need this to be good guys - Mark thinks these chairs are a lost cause and I believe in their possibilities!!! Help me out! :)
I'm a big fan of red :-) However, for those chairs (don't kill me) I would just DIY the job with spray paint and not use your PILN gift certificate. They do such a fab job and if these are just occasional-use chairs, I would DIY it.
ReplyDeleteI know - the prob is that my gift cert is only good until the end of this month and I really want to just get them done!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the navy. Shiny navy blue would look amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a bright royal blue?
ReplyDeleteSteel blue!
ReplyDeleteOR a green!!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a light gray chair with bright royal blue on the interior detail of the back of the chair.
ReplyDeleteMight be the second time this comment posts, but...
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of light grey chairs with bright royal blue accents in the interior detail on the backs of the chairs.
I love the idea of a two-tone chair Susan!
