And I don’t think you should put legs on it partly because it looks too small to sit on the floor plus I just like it the way it is. At least don’t use ones like on the example. Something plainer if you must.

I will be interested to see how the metal chair turns out after you clean and wax it. I do like the patina on it.
I don’t know about that table. I think you might be able to find something more in keeping with the style of the chairs. The ornateness of the spindles and back on the chairs makes me think they should be kept the focal point and the seats done in a not-too-busy fabric. I see the chairs themselves in a distressed black finish, the seats in a muted grey and off-white print. (Not red!)

I just looked at the table again and noticed that it looks like it has pull-out extensions on each end which makes it pretty unique. But I still don’t think it goes particularly well with the chairs in addition to the price being too high. The wardrobe in nice-looking but don’t see a price listed nor what the inside looks like. If it’s a good price and doesn’t need any repairs it would probably be a good buy. Color? Nothing comes to mind off-hand but something lighter than it’s wood finish I think.

Well, are you totally confused now?? You will, of course, do a great job on all your pieces and I can’t wait to see what inspiration and/or suggestions strike you as the right ones. Have fun!
