You may want to consider something other than solid black (it will show every bit of lint) for the upholstery. I suggest doing them in two fabrics–one for the interior, and another for the backs.

Take a look at the new Thom Filicia designs and Iman Home designs at Calico Corners – Calico Home. In addition, there are new patterns from Dwell Studio arriving in late February. You might use an updated floral on the interior and a geometric or wrought iron-style design on the back. Lots to choose from!

Your new finds look amazing – strong features without looking too hard, and might even be enveloping. I recently bought a similar cane-back set of 4 for $50, stained the frames dark mahogany/almost ebony and reupholstered the seats in cornflower blue silk, but they'd look nice in a small pattern too!

I love the wood work on those chairs. I can see they have tons of potential. I have yet to get anything on Craigslist…whenever I find something either the person doesn't respond or it gets sold out from under me. I'm going to try your "pairs" tip. Thanks. BTW I am hosting my first blog party…the link opens up tonight at 8pm EST. I hope you will join in.
