Ok, this one was CLOSE!

Snakeskin is one of those trends that you either get it or you don't. Me, being terrified of snakes, cannot jump on this band wagon. Although, I must admit...I am kind of liking the snakeskin tray.

In the end, last week was a SLAM! (14 to 10)

This week, let's talking about mixing things up in the dining room. How do you feel about using different seating styles around the dining table?

Combining different styles adds a touch of the unexpected. It creates a comfortable, casual atmosphere that looks as if it has been designed slowly over time.








Are you a fan?

    It's a BAM for me, but I like the combinations that still seem to have some order.

    BAM BAM forever BAM. Every since Friends had the 'first apartment eclectic chic' look I've been obsessed with mixed chairs. LOVE! Good one.

    BAM! I always go for the collected look, but I tend to like just the head chairs in a different style, fabric vs. every other chair.

    Such a fun series! Thanks!

    Bam! Have it in my own house! I think this is a great way to make seating more affordable...mix high end with something less expensive.

    BAM! love it! and if you cant handle all the chairs mismatched- I think at least having different end chairs makes a statement. Also-
    I have a BAM or SLAM for you (or you maybe already did it) How about mismatched nightstands?

    BAM! BAM! BAM! I love this look, it's my absolute favourite when seats are mixed up - slipcovered chairs, wicker chairs and especially a bench!

    BAM! I've always loved this look and it reminds me of fun times together with friends and family when you round up every chair you have in the house! :)

    I'm a big fan - BAM! It's fun, practical, and can possibly seat more people than actually using all chairs (in the case of our current situation). I got a Windsor bench off of Craigs List and it's on one side of our table (can seat 2) but we'd only be able to sit 4 if we had another chair. I love the mixing look in the dining area.

    Yes, to mixed/matched chairs! Great examples, I had to pin a few!

    Loving the vintage trays & bar carts!

    Bam for sure! I think it makes a space more inviting and looks less like a 'big box' store set. We have a bench and 3 chairs, and a craigslist table and I love them all!!!

    Wow, I am seriously in the minority here but I don't love it at all...slam!

    LOVE it!! Giant BAM!! Shows character, imagination, and personality. Way better than a sterile "off the showroom" set up. FYI-all my dining chairs at home match (hypocrite??)...but I just love the look.
