Chairs of a Different Color?


Hi Everyone,

I am still thinking about my kitchen chairs.  I shared the new fabric with you yesterday - and here it is pictured below.

Mr. Bluebird is all in with this project, so ......it looks like things will be done sooner than later. As I mentioned, I have been under the weather lately, and he has been a real gem in helping me out with some of my decorating dreams.  Here's where you come in.............


Here is a photo of our kitchen chairs.  They are looking a little beat up these days (but not in a good way) and really need a paint job.  Now, I could just re-paint them black and call it a day.  But I am thinking of maybe doing something a little different.


What do you all think of painting each chair a different color that is found in the fabric?  These are the paints I am considering from American Paint Company:



Nana's Cupboard


 Orange Grove


Amber Waves of Grain


Bordello


Parchment

Five chairs. Five colors.

I am not sure about this idea, but I am giving it some thought.

What say you?

Thanks for stopping by,

    I say you should paint them whatever color makes you happy, worst case scenario, if you don't like how they look then you can always paint them black. :-)

    4 one color and 2 another. Not sure if one color each will go..might be too much color. Decision is always up to you. Do want makes you happy. Janice

    I love Nana's cupboard and parchment Jane. Just remember though, once your chairs are painted ( not in a neutral color) then you'll have trouble matching things to it e.g. dinnerware, decor, etc. Love the fabric you chose though and hope you feel better soon!

      I like them black too Denise, I just started to feel that with the other dark colors, it was just too somber. Who knows? They may very well end up being black again someday!

    I had the same thought Prims did..four one color and two another..but what colors...NO idea. Actually I love the black..but I know how it is when you want change. The only color I didn't care for was the Bordello. NOT...so much. Wow...decisions, decisions.
    Hmmm...well...you can always change the colors.. I'm like Denise ...I like the black..but...oh...shoot...I'm NO help at all!

    The only way to know for sure is to jump boldly in with both feet! It is just paint and time! If you really don't like the different colors - repaint! I would also recommend searching Pinterest or Google for different colored dining chairs and see if you can find someone with a similar look and see what you think of it. Sometimes seeing it for real, will give you the confidence you need! Thanks for linking up to my newbie party! Hope to see you again this week!

      Thanks Doreen, that was a great idea and I did do a little researching and found the PERFECT (I think, I hope) idea for my chairs. Looking forward to getting in done to share at your par-tay!
