More White Chairs, Only This Time Better

 I don't know about the rest of you, but I am still savoring the May "Big Advice" issue of House Beautiful.  One bit of advice that has finally stuck with me, because I am not a savvy designer like many of you, is that every piece of furniture in a room should not be brown.

  In that case, my dining room needs help.

Do you remember this post about white dining chairs?  Well, I found a few more to add to the collection.

I just can't seem to get enough of  pretty white chairs.


So tell me,
do you have big plans for the weekend?  
Whatever you do,
enjoy yourself.

Today I am joining the Inspired Room.

  1. Awww, thanks for including mine! (How I wish the rest of my dining room was finished.) The funny thing is, I looked at that picture and thought "I have that same mirror!" It's early :)

  2. Great chairs! I have a chair waiting to be primed and painted. Thinking about doing white this time, but I've painted so many things white lately LOL!

    Have a good weekend!

  3. I am a fan of white anyway, so I think the white chairs lovely. How pretty some of the seat covers are as well.
    Have a nice weekend,

  6. One of my favorite looks is mixing white wood or parsons chairs with a big, chunky wood table. These rooms look great!

  8. Great inspiration, my project list includes getting to my dining nook one of these days and would love to include some interesting chairs.

    So happy it is the weekend, neighborhood pot luck, a sleep over for the kids, a kick the can party & s'mores the next night...I love where I live and so do my kids!!

  9. Great inspiration. Especially the Phoebe Howard and Ruthie Sommers rooms. Yum. I'm on the verge of mixing up my all brown dining furniture too. Only I think I'm going for multiple colors - not quite as refined as what you have in mind, but definitely not all brown! Completely agree with you re the big advice issue btw. So much good stuff in there.
    Have a happy weekend!

  10. Lovely white chairs! ACK I DO have all brown furniture in my dining room. Should my weekend plans include a few cans of spray paint, my old chairs, and a frantic husband?
    Tempting. . . .

  11. Rene, I love the look of those white chairs, too. Not sure if we have plans this weekend or not. We may go down to my daughter's house and work on the nursery. Hope you have a good one, too.

  13. Love those chairs. I think the ones in your thumbnail are my favorite but the fabric of the first one! I have to do something about my all brown dining room. Starting with the hutch!

  14. I am so ready to pass down the dining room furniture I have and get something lighter! I love the idea of white chairs, and a big round table! No plans for the weekend, and that sounds perfect to me!

  15. I love white chairs. So crisp, clean and elegant looking. I like to mix white with animal prints for a little "wow". My plans this weekend are lots of walks with our new puppy and painting! I wish you a great weekend!

  16. Ah thank you so much for including me! I have contimplated getting an all white table to match but I kind of like the contrast! Thanks again sweetie!
    Happy Weekend!

  17. Love this post! I used exactly the same fabric as the blue and white print when I recovered an old footstool - how about that! I knew it looked familiar! Here's the link if you're interested:

    White always makes everything look so fresh and vibrant, and I have quite a lot of furniture on the list for a complete whitewash. Thanks for posting these lovely inspirational pics, and have a great weekend! K xx

  18. I love fresh white chairs too. My dining room table is dark and painting mine has been on my list forever. Last weekend I got the sprayer out and did them up. What a difference it makes. I will show them off as the dining room gets a makeover.
    Have a fabulous weekend! We have our first drop off birthday party our 4 year old is going to. I'm a little nervous! Silly I know.

  19. I love white chairs with both light and dark wood. My plan this weekend is to spend as much time outside as possible working in the garden and relaxing.
    Have a great weekend.
