You might have caught me crushing on my brand new dining table if you follow me on Instagram, but there’s just one eyesore left that is keeping me from considering my dining room finished.  At the moment I have only four chairs, one of which I found on the streets and has no proper seating.  The other three beautiful hand-me-downs from my grandfather’s aunts, but since I’d like to sit more than three people at my table at the same time, I’m in need of something new.

While I’m keeping my eye out on second hand websites and in thrift stores for an affordable replacement, I can’t resist dreaming about design chairs. So here’s a small selection of the chairs that I’m secretly wishing to appear underneath my christmas tree (I can keep dreaming I guess), some of which are just a little bit above budget, while others are far out of my wallet’s reach.  What’s your favorite?
