HELP!

Ok ya'll be patient, this is kind of a long post, but I really need some help.  Some of you will remember my kitchen table makeover see table here.  I am in love with the table, but I am completely stuck on the chairs.  My original plan was to paint them red, because I really like the whole blue/red thing.  But I've tried 2 diff. reds and I am not a fan of either one.  The first one was a fire engine red.  Then the second one was more of a berry color. Which I like better, but it's still not right.  You can see the berry chair below...

So now I'm thinking maybe I don't want to go with red after all.  I just re-did a thrift store chair see thrift store chair here and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that yellow (golden maize from valspar).  AND I really love turquoise and yellow together AND I have this buffet/cabinet thingy in the same room that I want to paint that yellow.  So now I'm thinking that they maybe need to be yellow to help tie everything together.  It's a pretty small room, doubles as my dining room and my office, so I'm afraid it will look weird with too many colors floating around.  So I think I'm kind of sold on the yellow for the chairs - what do you guys think??

So another issue I'm having with the chairs is that I cannot figure out what else to do with them... I feel like they NEED something, but WHAT?  It's driving me crazy.  Maybe it's the chairs - I like the idea of having 4 mismatched chairs all the same color - I've also played around with this idea.

So you can see where I need ya'll's help.  I would love any input - ideas, pictures, suggestions, I'm open to almost anything at this point.  I've googled and blog searched and I think the problem is there are just too many options.

Help a girl out - would love to hear what you would do with the chairs.  The table is staying that color blue - that's the only thing that is not changing in this scenario.  :)

Thanks for the help everyone!

Chair Makeover

I love chairs... I can't explain it, I just really love chairs.  I picked up this chair at the Goodwill some time ago.  I left it the way it was for a very long time.  I liked the chippy white paint.  Well today I decided enough of the white, let's go yellow.  I was actually experimenting with this yellow, because it's the color I am thinking of painting a buffet/cabinet I've got in my dining room.  So I wanted to test it out and see how I liked it.

Let me just say that this is such a pretty yellow.  It is Valspar's Golden Maize, and now I know it will definitely be going on my dining room cabinet.

Anyway, below are the before and afters of my chair.  Cute isn't she?

Little Of This And A Little Of That

It's been a few days since I've posted and I feel like I have so much to do.  I have multiple projects in the works that I'm not entirely sure when I will have time to actually get them finished.  LOL... oops.  The most pressing are my dining room chairs.  I started those with every intention of having them done by now.  But chairs are a pain to paint, so I keep putting them off.  I really only have one more to do.  Maybe today..

And I have a fabulous cabinet in my dining room that I am painting as well.  I plan on having both done in the next week or so.  So check back for before and after pics.

I also have a dresser that I will be re-doing.  It's been in our garage for the last 9 months.  It was in a guest room previously, but since we don't have a guest room anymore, I am going to fix it up and sell it.  (i think)

I know what I want to do to it, it's just a matter of digging it out of my garage and getting it done.  That project will have to wait however until my chairs and cabinet are finished.  I tend to start multiple projects all at once, and then procrastinate on getting any one of them completely finished.  My husband will attest to this.  

So with that being said, I hope you have a fun, relaxing Sunday afternoon.  We are headed to the pool in a little while for some down time before Monday hits.  

See you all next week!  But until then here is a peak at one of my chairs.  It's not finished yet, it still needs some glaze and a clear coat... but you get the idea.  :)
