Here’s the chair Hubby has been working on.
I’m not too sure about the color though. It was paint left over from Jessica’s bed so we thought we would use it on this prototype. What color do you ladies think I should paint them. I wanted to paint them red but I know it would look terrible in my dining room. We have a large brick chimney in the room and our floors are mahogany.
Here’s a picture of the brick chimney.
The floor.
The table I want to use the chairs with (until I talk him into building a new one). Please let me know your ideas as I am not very good at decorating but I really would like to brighten it up some.
Here is a picture of the color I think I would like. I have always liked the idea of red chairs. I’m not sure where this picture came from, maybe Lowes.com. Well, while I’m at all this table and chair stuff, I might as well show you all the table I think I would like. Notice all the ‘I think’.
I got this picture from www.soulemama.com I think it would look good in my dining room, don’t you all. Well, it’s almost time to get ready for church. Tonight’s menu is baked spaghetti, slaw, green beans, homemade rolls and dessert. Dessert is unknown as Mrs. Sally said “I’ll bring some kind of dessert”. I love surprises! Enjoy your evening and God bless.

I love how the chair turned out! I’m not good with colors, but I do love barn red-it’s what I paint everything outside. 🙂

I say if red is what your heart desires… go for it! I would pick up a variety of red sample tags and try them against the floor and bricks until you find one you like with both. You could always paint one and set it in the room for a few days. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
Enjoy your evening!

What a nice chair!
We have been painting a lot of our furniture white to brighten up our living room and kitchen, as we don’t get much sun during the fall and winter months. I also like that with white, I can change the colors around when I want because white goes with everything! 🙂

sigh..I just wrote a 200 word comment and hit submit and it disappeared..So now I’ll shorten my comment to 100 words..lol 🙂 I LOVE your new chair ! I’m gonna be an oddball…and say I think simi-gloss black would be beautiful 🙂 But I LOVE black..lol. You’re probably cringing at the thought..smile. But here’s why: I think black is a very comforting color and it goes beautfully with any color wood and brick and goes with any accent color you can imagine. So say..if you found some beautful fabric (red like you liked) you could make some chair cushions for it and a table cloth or if you wanted to go yellow for Easter it would still match black. Every color looks great with it. Anyways..slightly changing the subject.I like to buy used chair cushions (dosen’t matter if they match) and then make “slip covers” for them. One set of chair cushions can last forever that way and always look different depending on your mood or the season. So there’s my “two cents” smile. But at the end of the day every ones style is different. I’m a country bumpkin style. Whatever color you choose I am SURE it will turn out beautiful !

You have been so productive in making your aprons ~ it’s inspiring! I saw an apron to make using two kitchen towels, I really am wanting to try that. Keep up your good work!

I would definitely go with a cornflower blue! I am loving that color lately – in fact my coffee table will be that color by the end of winter – well unless we keep getting these gorgeous days in which I feel the need to be outside weeding my flower beds. Hope your day is great!

I like black and brown for furniture but I am so very boring. I do have accent colors though they are the colors I decorate for each Season. Christmas Red, of course, is striking with these colors and so very cheerful! And for spring, I just add white cushions and bring in the spring flowers! So fun and it allow me not to get board with my items. If you like red I say “go for it” what lovely cheer!
Your hubby does such wonderful work! Look at all the loving care!

So funny, I just now read this post and you said red chairs right after I had suggested that. Yep, that’s my vote. The yellow in the picture is almost the shade of one of my rooms. Mine is a little brighter. I love yellow. The chair looks great.
