A few weeks ago I blogged about our “new” dining room table along with a bunch of plans we had for the space. Well, this week we accomplished one of those goals! I ordered some new dining room chairs & they arrived at our door step of course I did the biggest happy dance in the snow before I brought them in. Sorry neighbors who had to see that! I ordered the chairs from Scout & Nimble after searching for the perfect chair for a very long time. Seriously don’t you get so overwhelmed when there are TOO MANY options. I had to cut myself off some nights from looking because I would my brain would hurt. No, you are not the only one who struggles with this. Too many options is not always a good thing. The goal for the dining chairs was to get 4 metal or wood chairs & two upholstered chairs. We ended up finding the perfect metal and wood dining chairs from Scout & Nimble & we are still on the search for the perfect upholstered chairs for the ends of the table…
These are the Elio dining chairs in gunmetal & wood. Seriously I’m so in love with these dining chairs. I love the mix of metal & wood & how unique the metal finish is. It’s the perfect mixture of slate & bronze. I was leaning towards black in this space to add that pop of bold color along with the light fixture, but these chairs were calling my name. I’m excited to see them paired with the upholstered chairs we end up picking out as well. So far we are happy with our choice & again, I love the low maintenance of these chairs like our last metal chairs we had.
What do you think of our new dining chairs? The dining room is making progress & I’m so happy with this big step to it being “finished”. I decided to keep our pillows from H&M on the chairs just because they are so cozy & I happy to like the look, but we will see if they stay. Up next we still have to replace the rug & add some upholstered chairs among other things, but I’m pretty content right now. Let me know what you think in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram!

The look great!! Love the mixture of metal with the wooden table 🙂 You are so great at pulling everything in a room together! We just got a new dining set off Craigslist – a wooden mid century set – and one of my projects this weekend is getting the chairs re-upholstered so we can actually sit at it! 😉
I love this look! Do you happen to know how long your table is? It looks a little smaller then a typical “farm table” and I love it!
Thanks,
Bailey
I love the chairs! In fact, I purchased the same ones after a recent trip to TJ Maxx. I was in love! They look great with my farmhouse table.
Hi! oh my I love these chairs! can you tell me where your curtains are from? I’m on the hunt for fresh white curtains and am having trouble finding what I like, but I really like yours!
those chairs are fabulous! Iwasconsidering some similar to these by Restoration Hardware (we live by an outlet), but my mom piped in that they might be cold to sit on. The wood seats solve that problem (so would a cushion). I’m a fairly recent follower of your blog – I just wanted to say that being a Colorado woman who grew up in Minnesota, I can understand why you moved back to MI. I love Colorado and enjoy the winters here more, but MNis still home and I’m one of the few people in Denver who gets excited when it snows! Embrace your northern/mid-western roots and show everyone how you not only survive, but thrive!
Hi there! I am not sure where Liz got hers, but I just got some great white curtains for my dining room at Marshall’s the other day. Great selection and super affordable compared to most places… mine were on clearance for only $20 for two panels!
It looks amazing and I love the metal chairs with the farmhouse table…beautiful!
Thank you so so much Emily! It’s so amazing what some new fabric can do for some chairs. I hope you are able to eat at your new table soon 😉 haha
Love that!! Great minds 😉 These chairs are the best & I feel like they are pretty timeless too! I hope you enjoy your new chairs. xx
they are from good old Ikea! I love them & have them in the dining room & living room!
Yes Jill I feel the same way! The wood adds that warm element for sure. These are super comfortable. & yes!! I’m so glad you get it.. we love it here. I love winter & I’m so inspired by it. I’m still a little scared to drive in it some days when it’s bad, but other than that I’m a true Michigander through and through. Thank you so much for your kind words & I hope you get your chairs super soon!! Ps. Super jealous you live by a RH outlet 😉 xx
Thank you so much!! xx
I love the metal chairs you chose! The color and the wood seats go so well with your floors and table. I have chairs like these in the white without the wood seats and I agree, they can be cold to sit on, especially in the winter. I ended up making some cushions for mine, which made such a difference. I really love the centerpiece on your table!
Love wood tables and this table is very nice:) Want to have something similar when we have our diningspace done.
Oh my word your chairs are truly perfection! We have the restoration hardware bronze chairs and yes, I must admit, the seats are cold. My Hubby is great with wood, so I think I will be asking him to make a few wood “cushions”.
I love following your journey, thanks so much for the inspirations!
If you all are ever traveling back to NC for a visit, plan an overnight stay in the Northern VA area. We have a RH Outlet close by and DC has an H and M store with the Home line!
Love the mix of metal and wood. And the colors and finishes are just right for that room. Great work! If you need other ideas for metal and wood decor, take a peek over here… http://www.ironpallet.com
hi, are these chairs from Target? they have something similar, and I wondered how they would hold up.
Hi there, I am looking everywhere for those exact chairs! I’m finding them but not the gunmetal finish, instead a brown finish. Do you have any ideas where to look for them? Thank you so much!
tyvm!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
A great read. I will certainly be back.
I love your chair pillows!!!! Where did you find them??
