While we slave away over the kitchen here’s the update I
promised about our kitchen chairs. When we went to build the farmhouse table we weren’t
sure about benches, so I set out for the most comfortable & affordable
design pleasing chairs I could find. Typically parson chairs are
a little on the pricy side, but I was on a mission. After narrowing it down to
leather chairs from overstock ($109/2), canvas chairs from Crate & Barrel
($299/1) and canvas chairs from Ikea ($69/1) with removable covers —
it was a no brainier. Since I decided to go with white it made the most
sense to purchase the Ikea chairs — I could at least wash them when they start
looking dirty. The price was right too.

After making the trip to the closest
Ikea in W. Sacramento, Nick went to town putting them together — easy breezy.
Once the covers were on, nice and snug, each chair was given a coat of scotch
guard.

Ta-da… We purchased 6 chairs for
now, but might add two more. Maybe those will have a fun print or slightly
different style. What do you think? I’m happy to report we’ve had the chairs for 10
months and still love them. We did unfortunately have to return one faulty
chair. The one shopping at Ikea perk — you can return furniture anytime as long
as you have the receipt!
