Dining Chair Contender: Louis XVI

I'm still hunting for the perfect chairs to complement my new dining room table. The first contender I featured was the Chinese Chippendale chair. You can read about those HERE.

Option #2 is the Louis XVI oval back dining chair...

I think my heart stopped when I saw these for the first time...

They can be used in more contemporary settings as well...

These chairs with the leather seats and fabric backs would be ideal for our family. The leather is practical, yet I would still be able to use a pretty fabric, too...

So, as you can tell I'm quite smitten with Louis. Do you share my crush?

  6. There is a garage/estate sale tomorrow with some chairs like that (and a table of some kind). I doubt I will get there in time to be the lucky owner, but I'm gonna try. I don't want the table though.

  8. My children are pigs.. or maybe I have pigs who I treat like children.. leather with fabric on the back would be the only way I could go since there is not a good way to wash that!
