I am working with my client, Danielle, to create the perfect apartment.  We had an easy time choosing a Dining Table, but the chairs have taken time.  I had a vision of mixed chairs.  Unfortunately, I found this to be easier imagined than implemented. 

Danielle has done her job.  She has scoured flea markets and sent me many photos. And this is me, “No.” “No.”  “No.”  I am sure I was starting to seem like I forgot about the cost of gas and the value of time.  And it would be a miracle if I wasn’t beginning to annoy her.  But  before she went online to find a new decorator, I figured out the solution. 

We need to establish consistency within the mish mash.  The last set of flea market snap shots clarified it for me.  In order for this to work, we would need to match wood tone and balance ornate with plain. And we will have to buy some new. 

I was surprised that there wasn’t many pictures of mixed Dining Chairs in my library.  Interestingly, they all came from different editions of the Better Homes and Gardens New Decorating Book.  (I have all 9–thank you, Ebay.) 

 And I only found three online.  As the project progresses, I will add a forth.
