selecting finishes for my new bamboo chairs

The Decorista June 23, 2014

For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with the Chippendale style bamboo chairs. My grandmother had them in the formal dining room growing up. Her dining room was always very Palm Beach chic. Pinks, green, florals, antiques,etc. So, finally I have gotten my hands on her set...the set we grew up sitting in, with so many holidays and dinner party memories on them. I am over the moon about having them, especially because we have such a large family, I was sure someone else would steal them. Now, they are mine all mine..heeheheehheehhehe. The thing is, how am I going to refurbish them? My mind is swirling with ideas...

black on black

I love everything black right now, so I really want to lacquer them up in high gloss black and add some good fabric. Perhaps white, zebra, leopard or shall I stay with all black on black?

Or what if I did black and white stripes? Thats a classic I have long loved.

They all look so good. I can barely pick one. Now, I also would consider going with an all white chair for a fresh and clean look that screams cozy comfort.

Or even a light pink could be really fun too. How fun are these from Jonathan Adler with a leopard print mixed in. Now thats what I call panache....
