Craigslist Dining Chairs!!! (Can I Keep Them, Please?!)

So I’ve been looking for dining chairs for myself for over a year now.  I only need two, and I’ve searched Craigslist, Goodwill, garage sales, and found nothin’.  I wanted something interesting, something fun, something with some personality.  I finally gave up my search and decided to just use the two that I had.

Well, someone predicted that since I’ve started working on my chairs, I would now find the perfect chairs.  And I did.  The problem?  It wasn’t a pair of chairs that I found.  It was a set of four chairs that I found.  And can you guess where I need a set of four chairs?  John & Alice’s breakfast area.

Hmmmm…what to do, what to do?

But take a look at these wonderful chairs!

Aren’t they wonderful, with the little quatrefoil cutouts on the back?!

They were only $60 for all four chairs.  And the best part…the people delivered them to me!!

But the thing is, I don’t need four dining chairs.  I don’t have room for four dining chairs.  So now I’m wondering if I can do a mix-and-match with John & Alice’s breakfast area, using my two chairs, and two of these “new” chairs, and then keep the other two “new” chairs for myself.  Hmmmm…is that stingy?

  1. Keep them and do the mix and match. I've seen it done countless times and even went that route in my own dining room. My dining room is "mildly" colorful- walls are robins egg/tiffany box blue/green, white pedestal table, white hutch, white side table, and each one of my chairs are A. different and B. painted different colors. I personally detest the whole matchy match look that most people go for and couldnt bring myself to do the same in my home.
