What called me to her was her feminine flair. She is so graceful and I had to have her. I wanted six but wasn't willing to put down a small fortune for them.

So I have been on a mission ever since to try and find a wannabe Darcy chair and I think I found her.
What do you think? Close enough?
I love her feminine curves (just like Darcy's) and they are a dream to sit on. I paid $65 a piece and got my 6 chairs.
Now on to my new dilema...
Do I paint them out white or light grey or keep them as is? I do plan on making them a skirt (when I get brave enough to do it). I would love your opinions.

I say go-for-it with the white paint and skirt. You'll be extra pleased. They are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteDefinitly paint them white or light grey (the new "it" color). What a close match! I bet you were beside yourself when you found them. I know I would have been! Great job!
ReplyDeletePatricia :o)
I think it is a great SCORE! Well I wouldn't paint them but would get Doug to when he gets home. LOL. I love the skirts on them also. I love that look with the cane backing. You did good!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!! I say light grey--but I don't know the rest of your decor..Grey is just so inviting!! Good luck, would love to see the transformation!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous chairs...I would paint them a creamy white.
ReplyDeleteI agree, paint them!! They are darling though, and with a fresh coat and some cute skirts you will definitely have some show stoppers! Great find!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and great price. I would paint them.
ReplyDeleteooooh - paint them! I think very pale grey would look awesome. What a great deal! And, I like the shape of yours better than the originals.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful find!
ReplyDeleteI would go with the color on the inspiration chair, Sylvia. Especially if you love that chair, I would copy it.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I don't think you could go wrong with painting them either white or grey(tough choice)!

How fun! I saw a tutorial over the weekend (& for the life of me I can't remember where!) where she painted layers of a pale blue gray, topped with a thinned whitish paint and then waxed. Maybe it was www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com? Anyway! I can't wait to see how these turn out!
ReplyDeleteMake 'em look like the inspiration picture!!
ReplyDeleteit's just paint~
Hi Sylvia....love this...you could totally make it like the inspiration pics...you can do it!!~
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia... Don't you just love it when you find what you are looking for? Great chairs, I would paint them, just like the Rachael's chair! Gorgeous... lucky you:-)

Oh my goodness, Sylvia. How wonderfully lucky! I love the chair you have pictured that has been painted and has the white material on the seat cushion. I think they would look lovely like that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your find!

Those are lovely and very close to the ones you really wanted! Definitely I would paint them, grey would be nice with a white skirt! I'll have to add myself as a follower to your blog so I can see them when they're done:)
ReplyDeletePaint them dove grey...it'll offset all the wood color. I wanna see pics too! Awesome!
ReplyDeletebunny
Love them! I would definitely paint them. I am looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with them!
ReplyDelete~ Tracy
What a great find!
ReplyDeletethe name of my blog is White Spray Paint, so guess what my vote is?
I would paint them white and cover the chair seats in a white canvas (or slipcover).
I love them!
I am now a follower and I linked to the same party.

ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing to find them for such a great price. I can't wait to see what you decide to do! Post lots of pictures please!!!!
Best wishes for a fabulous week,

Hi Sylvia, I love your chairs and I do think I will paint mine and they are reproductions and I knew this when I bought them but I figured it would make it easier to paint cause I wouldn't feel so guilty (; I say paint your chairs if thats what will make you happy, I love the RA chairs and they were my inspiration for my chairs. Have you looked at Dustylu's blog on my sidebar, she has the cane chairs too.
