Hello, everyone! I'm so happy to be here with you here at Rooms with a guest post from Arcadian Home blog. It's a fabulous place to find interior design inspiration including great decorating ideas for everything from beautiful modern pendant lights to a wonderful array of rugs for the floor. Today's topic is chairs, lovely seating around the dining table to be specific. From traditional to modern to the simply quirky, I've brought along eight images to explore some of the amazing chairs that have recently caught my eye. Let's have some fun with stylish dining chairs! ~ Mari    This traditional dining room is updated with a contemporary take on the crystal chandelier and velvet dining chairs with their casual patterned backs. Traditional chair design meets contemporary textile pattern for a happy merger.   A modern pendant light hangs above this large round table surrounded by raspberry-hued chairs.

Hi, I'm Susi, from the Arcadian Lighting blog, a wonderful place to find inspiration for lighting fixtures and decorating. I'm very lucky that I get to visit amazing blogs like ROOMS as a guest blogger. My guest post today is all about colorful tables that make me, and hopefully you, happy. Tables are a great way to add pops of color to a space, whether it be a kitchen, living room or bedroom. Here are eight colorful tables that are cheerful and happy. Enjoy! A colorful table in an entry or foyer is a happy way to welcome people into your home. Bright red has a big wow feeling against a blue and white wallpaper along with this gold wall lamp !

Hi! I'm Trissta of Living on the Chic . I'm so excited about sharing a corner of  my master bedroom with you today!  My goal at Living on the Chic , is to decorate my home with as little money as possible. If you check out my space, you can see my living room, dining area, my guest room (which just got moved to a smaller room), and many of my other projects! I'm so excited to share my latest with you. I picked up this chair years ago and reupholstered it in this great damask material... Love it still! The ottoman was picked up a thrift shop for $6.  I added a Brom poster on the wall and a small magazine rack (that I picked up at Salvation Army for $.50) to hold my reading material... On top, I have a small desk lamp with another giant clam shell as a catch-all. The drift wood I picked up as a souvenir from my trip to Caples Lake, California . Check out my blog soon to see more pictures! Thank you so much, Melissa for letting me share a 'cor...

My writing focuses on things I'm passionate about: interior design, home furnishings, decorating ideas , gardening, travel and art. I get to look at gorgeous things all day and write about them. I'm a very lucky girl! Thanks, Melissa, for inviting me and Design Shuffle to visit Rooms today! I am excited to be here because ghost chairs really do make me happy. Designed by Philippe Stark in 2002 based on a classic Louis XVI chair, the ghost chair is a minimalist chair that feels extravagant. I know a ghost chair has been on the “must have” list of many designers and design lovers for the past several years. I think one would make a great desk chair for my home office. What do you think? Have one? Want one? Here are some great pics to get you inspired. Enjoy! The Outfit of the Day via The ghost chair com...
