I couldn't wait to show you my chairs.
I just picked them up and am utterly and completely smitten.
A definite lesson in perseverance and patience...the end result was most certainly worth the trials and tribulations.

PS-please ignore lamp cords- not sure how to get around that but I'm noticing after looking at these pictures that they look rather yucky.
Anyhow...chairs.
I'm pretty gaga over them and I'm thinking the leopard pillows to come will add just that little bit of extra fabulous.
I plan on drinking at least two glasses of very syrupy Shiraz tonight while sitting and admiring my new beauties.
Hope you're having a very gorgeous Friday evening!!

They are not that great... you should probably just give them to me so you don't have to look at those ugly things. :) Obsessed. You can do no wrong.
I am obnoxiously in love with them. You suck.( =
I'm pretty certain that the fabulous chairs completely distract anyone from looking at the yucky cords! I didn't even notice them, I was far too busy drooling!! These are simply gorgeous, Christine!!!
Christine, these chairs are rockin'. I hope that you're sitting in them as I type enjoying your glass(es) of wine. Well worth the wait.
OH, and if you figure out what to do with the dumb cords let me know, I'm having that same problem.
Gorgeous!! Love them. Enjoy the wine too ;-)

OMG! DY-ING!!!! WHERE did you find that fabric (no I really must know!)
Ah thanks ladies (and gentleman;)- I'm pretty excited about them too so thank you for leaving such swell comments:) A couple of questions to answer:
Gina- I bought the chairs on Craiglist- I refinised the wood (long story which I've documented here) and then picked out the fabrics and had them reupholstered.
Cara- the front is Marimekko Joonas and the back is Hazelton House Dorothea and I bought it through Jamie at Furbish Studios.

Your patience really did pay off! The chairs look beautiful in the space.
They are gorgeous beyond gorgeous. Great job.
