Take a Seat

I currently live in a studio in a newer building in the city, and while in the beginning I loved the coziness of it and not having to furnish a large space and how my cat couldn't hide from me, I think I'm ready for a grown up apartment. Also some more space. And counters.

I've been looking at some older buildings and one of the things I realized is I'm going to have to do some major furniture purchasing. I have no dining room table and as someone who lives to throw a great dinner party, this is at the top of the list of things to be remedied. The problem is I think I know what I want and then I see something the exact opposite of that that I love and then I can't figure out what I want. I have made one decision though, I want mismatched chairs.

This is what I'm currently pretty into:








I think the key to making this work and not looking like it's Thanksgiving dinner and you don't own enough seating is going simple, simple, simple with the table. All the tables in those photos are pretty but fairly minimalistic.

One thing I don't like in the mismatched chairs trend is the same chair in different colors. I'm good with different chairs in the same color (see above) but for some reason the other way around just doesn't work quite as well.

This is what I am not at all into:





What do you say? Yea or Nay? Would you do it?
