Will Queen Anne dining chairs be too old-fashioned?




Cathy


Hello, I have an antique English oval dining table with Queen Anne legs. I need to buy chairs for it. I would describe my desired style for the dining room as classic/vintage pieces with a modern feel. For instance, I would give the table a crisp look by putting it on a sisal rug with a red border. I want an eclectic look, not a really antique or formal look. I was thinking of buying some used Queen Anne dining chairs and modernizing them by using a fun fabric (maybe red and white stripe from Pottery Barn) on the seats. But will this still look like a really old-fashioned dining room set? I have heard that these days you should mix-and-match your table and chairs--do you agree? Any advice on getting that Pottery Barn-look would be appreciated!


Answer
today, you are invited to put anything together that suits you. You do not have to stick to one style, period, or origin. Personally, I prefer that the wood all be similar in hue.
I like Windsor back chairs. They are comfortable, timeless and look very light on the landscape of your room.

Hi! I am trying to figure out what do with as far as a hutch or buffet goes with the Pier 1 Calmont Table. I love my table, I bought 4 upholstered straight back chairs for the sides, then I bought 2 accent chairs for the ends. It looks fantastic together, but I'm missing a piece for the wall.

Here is the link to the table: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/72/2/AAAADIiBhzQAAAAAAHInmg.jpg?v=1253165550000

What do you think I should do? If you could show me pictures, that would help me lots. Thank you so much! :)



Answer
I agree with the Lady in Florida - another option if you have a Pottery Barn in your area is to check out what they have - they quite often have one off pieces that might do the trick.
