Have a Seat

Two years ago my mom gave me money for Christmas to get chairs for my dining room table. I've been looking ever since. The table is my great grandmother's, a family heirloom. It needed just the right chairs. I wanted them unique and me, but I wanted them to fit the 'feeling' of the table too. When I saw these I knew they were perfect.
They're galvanized metal with wonderful details. The metal gives them a modern feel, but they also look like they've always been with the table.

Comfy too.

Still quilting on the 'red hearts' quilt...I think I'm on the right track now.

    Very charming! And a bonus that they're comfortable, too. Hard to find both in a chair, sometimes!

    How lovely! Those chairs are just exquisite. So nice that you could find chairs that coordinate so well with your equally beautiful table.

    And I really like the way you're quilting your 'red harts' quilt - lots of character!
