Get the Look For Less: Dining Room Chair

TGIF!  The week is coming to a close and that means college SEC football is gearing up for a huge...seriously, HUGE weekend!  My Arkansas Razorbacks (ranked 7th in the nation), are taking on number 9, South Carolina.  Another game not to miss--#1 and 2, LSU and Bama, play eachother as well.  Yes...it's going to be a great weekend (hopefully).

Now, on to decorating.  I have an obsession with mixing and matching dining room chairs.  This is one of my favorite examples:

What a great way to get creative and add that little something special.  Disclaimer:  I heart West Elm (I just received a package and have another on the way).  While I was checking out the new catalog, I found this beauty with a not-so-pretty price tag ($249):
Porter Upholstered Armchair
I knew there had to be something similar out there for less.  Enter IKEA for $79:
NILS Armchair, black, Blekinge white Width: 23 5/8 " Depth: 22 1/2 " Height: 31 1/2 " Seat width: 18 1/2 " Seat depth: 16 7/8 " Seat height: 18 7/8 " Width: 60 cm Depth: 57 cm Height: 80 cm Seat width: 47 cm Seat depth: 43 cm Seat height: 48 cm
You're not seeing double, just an example of how amazing furniture doesn't have to deplete the holiday funds.  And how great would a pair of these look flanking a farmhouse table?! 

So, have you ever mix and matched your dining room chairs?  Did  you have different styles or maybe the same style, but painted all different colors?

Have a great weekend and WOO PIG SOOIE!

    That'awesome! I'd love upholstered chairs in our dining room but that idea was veto'd (probably a good thing since hubby's place setting looks like a kid's when he's done!) but I did manage six side chairs and 2 different end chairs. Sometimes a girl has to compromise. Love the deal you found!

    Have a great weekend, Michelle!
