The buffet arrived yesterday and is great. Its worth at least $100 even though I only paid $50 for it. It needs a thick layer of paint but is a perfect length and depth for the dining room. The kitties loved exploring it yesterday too - must have had some interesting smells. Its not quite as red as I thought it would be but is a brick tone thats a bit more subtle. It will work until the weather gets good enough to take it outside for a thorough sanding.
With that piece of furniture introduced to the dining area, I was inspired to find some dining tables that might work in the space. I would ideally like to seat 10 people with the leaves in and want to try a bit more of an eclectic look by incorporating chairs of different styles. I was hoping to find some with an upholstered seat so I could unify them through a textile but we'll see how that goes. Gotta get a table first.
I tend to like the classic style and think the one with colored legs might work best with the eclectic look I am hoping to achieve. I particularly like the little floral pattern on the legs that is reminiscent of the Victorian era.
