So I've done a spot of shopping on Ebay of late....
I bought a coffee table a few weeks ago , and just recently I nabbed these old chairs for $40! For all of them. I actually missed out on bidding but since nobody had bid I emailed the seller with the lowest bid and it was accepted.
These chairs, well, I felt like they were destined to be mine, even though they are an odd bunch of chairs in some ways. I currently have three wooden chairs painted white in a similar, but less stylised type as the ones above. When I saw this group of five chairs I thought they would be perfect to make up eight chairs to go around our dining table. One of the above chairs is already white, so if I wanted to I could have half natural, half white chairs. And in the set above there are two carvers which is also perfect as I don't have any and think they will look great.
I'm yet to pick these lovely chairs up but my plan now is to paint them all white. We have lots of white touches in our dining room and I think they will complete the look nicely.



Bargain! They will look great white. Make sure you post some pics :)
ReplyDeleteYup, I think they will look amazing all white as well. Definitely a bargain! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
ReplyDeleteI always imagined I would do that sort of thing but I'm just too lazy to get the paint out etc!
ReplyDeleteThey will look fantastic all freshly painted. What a bargain! :)
That is such a great bargain, and will look great.
ReplyDeleteI'd be tempted to paint two {in two different gelato colours} to mix things up a little.
Make sure you share pics when you're done painting. x
I am just jealous that ebay finds like that are so hard to find here. Not many things get sold on Ebay. They are lovely though, I also would love a dining room with white touches.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave u got a pic/blog of the finished product?
Gotta love ebay huh?
Great blog.
Thanks EM!
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite finished painting them all just yet. I might try and take a progress shot though. The chairs I have finished are around the table and look great, just have to finish the last few chairs now!
