Great! (I hope this is where I'm supposed to post a question.) I have an old traditional dining table with no chairs. How do I find chairs to go with it? Is there a way to update the traditional table to make it more eclectic or modern? Painting, maybe?

starling, recently there has been some postings where people pair modern chairs with more tradition kitchen tables which the end effect looks really nice together.

i was so close to registering for that china pattern, but was afraid it would lose its charm over the years.

If you like it, best get it now. Have heard that Lenox is struggling and looking to be bought.

I just posted this on Ohdeedoh, but I'll post it here too. I have two half yards of different Halloween fabric and I'm looking for a project for them. I'd like to do something to hold candy until the kids come to the door, but can't think of anything other than a tote. Any ideas?
