Retro Red Polka Dot Dining Suite

I just picked up these chairs from the upholsterer and once again he has done an absolutely amazing job.  I decided to team the chairs with a grey retro table that I have had for a while....I think they look super cute!  They are for sale here.

My magic upholsterer man is currently working on a retro kitchen step stool in a very 'Cath Kidston' style oilcloth (the same oilcloth that I put on this Little Lamp), two little round kitchen stools, and a timber framed daybed that will have a real french country flavour....watch this space!

As for me, I am going to go paint some furniture....so have a great Thursday everyone!

xx Karen

    Those are super cute!

    We had a table like that when I was a kid~but the chairs were a boring beige. Your chairs would have been a huge improvement!

    These chairs just make me smile. They also make me think of Lucille Ball for some reason! So cute!

    These chairs have come up beautifully Karen. Your upholstery man sure does a great job! I have been MIA lately and missed your last few post so I'm having to catch up. Your blog looks fantastic. I heard a little bird (ok, it was Sandy) mention your birthday last week. Hope it was a good one.
    I haven't got my hands on the Raven grey yet. The colour on my coffee table is MESH (Bristish Paints).
    Have a great week.

    Those are sooooo cute! Someone who loves that 1950's look is going to snap them up so fast.
