I immediately fell in love with their unique shape, quirky style and great condition. The silhouette of the chairs when placed side by side reminded me of the settee I have in my office – one of my favorite pieces of furniture. I kept envisioning them painted white and upholstered in linen at the foot of my bed with a small table in between.
Needless to say, it didn’t take long to convince myself the chairs should come home with me. I was not sure how Mr. RDH was going to react to my unusual purchase but was pleasantly surprised when he liked them. Hurray!
Although my initial thought was to paint and reupholster the chairs to a more neutral color palette, for the time being they will be staying orange. I have found a home for them in a surprising location and will be sharing it with you soon.

Oh my! Those could be the best chairs I have ever seen! You are one lucky girl and I am sure after they receive your TLC they will look even more amazing!
Those are gorgeous! Love the unusual shape (and the colour is quirky too - although I'm sure you'll do a lovely makeover). Great find!
Woah! I have never seen anything like them! Well, except for maybe at my grandmother's old house. She had a lot of 'mod' furniture (I guess that's what you'd call it) and there were so many pieces that were orange like that. Brings back memories. =]
what neat looking chairs!
Great chairs. I love them and I kinda like the orange for now.
Those chairs are AWESOME! Love the shape.
Stacy, I love them I can't wait to see where you've put them :+)
You have a great eye! I think they are wonderful and will look great the way they are or redone.
wow - those chairs are awesome!! And while they would look nice painted and redone, I'm really loving the orange. what a great score! :)
Those are a scream! I love them and I love that they are orange. Now this is something I can't wait to see you use :)
OH MY WORD!!! I love those chairs! And I can see them reupholstered just as you described! What a find, Stacy! Good for you!
The upholstery looks like it's in excellent condition, Stacy! I love the shape of them. Orange is back, too, you know. I'm curious to see where you've put them.
Great lines and great color!
Great chairs, even in orange they are amazing. Very interested to see where they go from now.

I heart this style and don't paint them like everyone else does..the finish is so pretty and white is going out of style...Hugs and smiles Gloria
Those are a unique shape. I think they would look great painted. They do look oh so comfy too.

Ooooh leave them orange! Part of what makes them unique is their color/fabric, which looks to be in great condition. These ladies should not be fading into the background whith all the other white linnen - they should be accent peices in your lovely neutral home!
they are the cutest!!!!
