French Bistro Chairs

I have French Bistro chairs on the brain right now! I've gone into full-on house sprucing mode lately and I'm thinking these may be joining our household. I have been doing a lot of research on bar stools lately and French Bistros are quickly becoming the front runner.

I was thinking about upholstered bar stools for a little while, but I feel like I need something to break up all of our upholstered seating. Our downstairs is essentially one open space where all of the seating except for our side dining chairs (the head and foot of the table are upholstered wing-back chairs)are upholstered. French Bistro's will break that up and add a new texture. However, the best part is, they're indoor outdoor. In other words THEY'RE DURABLE!! Which is a HUGE necessity in our house. Even though we don't have kids yet, I know in the future durability will only continue to be important.

I'm doing a little bit of last minute price comparison and then I'm ordering!

**In other news - we finished painting and I've been trying to get a good shot of the paint, but our weather and my schedule has been a little funky this last week and I haven't been able to catch good light. Will post soon though!

  6. I love French bistro chairs...they add so much to a room...at home or in a restaurant. I have been considering them forever to use with my Saarinen table. Complete juxtaposition, but that's what I like about it. Can't wait to see what you come up with in your gorgeous home!

  13. I love these chairs and had pulled the same photos. We had the opposite problem of not enough upholstered comfortable seating...so I went with silpcovered armed bar stools. Still...just love the Palachek look. Hope you found a good price.
