Dining Room Furniture - Done!!

So we went back this weekend and made the leap and ordered our dining room furniture!! We ended up going with pretty much this set, however we are going in a darker stain (more like a dark brown - less red colour) and they are custom making the chairs to have pop out seat cushions so we can re-upholster them ourselves should we decide to down the road.

The colour of the fabric for the seat is similar, but in a chenille as opposed to the microfibre. Originally, we were going to go with the "Logan" style chair (one big X on the back) but it was a tad small and when the chairs were pushed in (or being sat on for that matter) you couldn't see the X. This one gives a bit more design when just sitting there I think. We went with all arm-less chairs for the time being - figured that down the road we can add something fun to the ends if we need two more chairs, but it will be hard to order 2 more armless.

We also ordered the sideboard which was the true 'must have' for us as all of our beautiful china is sitting in a box :-(

It is a relatively traditional looking set, but I figure with a modern light fixture (maybe) we can mix it up. Ideas?

We should receive everything mid November so there is something major to look forward too!
