If you've been following along you know that things come and go frequently around here. I have to say that my set of Chinese chippendale chairs are still safe. I love anything chinoiserie and I've yet to tire of these wrought iron beauties. When I purchased them they were white, but not for long.
I painted them a Chinese red.
I'm really not a fan of red, but these work for me.

I re-covered the seats with the same geometric fabric I used for the draperies in the room.

When I purchased the chairs, I had a table in mind. I found a fabulous iron table with an x base. Unfortunately, it was missing its glass top. It's pretty pricey to replace tempered glass so I carried the table top measurements around for a while until I found a mirror with the same dimensions. I think it's a pretty good fit.

I really love the x base and the knob.

What I place on the table changes frequently. I filled a clear vase with some twisted branches from my yard. I painted them with the same Chinese red. I added some black sand and shells to weight it down and to support the gnarly branches.

The faux clam shell, filled with shells and coral, is from Zgallerie.

I'm so happy with the mirrored top and its changing reflections.

These chairs have some sentimental value to me too.
They're the chairs that Nate Berkus featured when I was a guest on his show.
