I've been on the hunt for a Duncan Phyfe table for weeks, and my efforts finally paid off the weekend before we moved. I found the perfect table with 8 chairs (2 kid's chairs included) and a leaf.
The table and chairs will probably need to be refinished at some point, but for now I decided to just recover the seats.
I can't remember a time when I didn't absolutely love cobalt blue. It's not a color I use or wear much, so when I thought about what color/fabric to use for these chairs I immediately knew this was my chance to use my fave shade of blue without it going terribly array. So I made a trip to my local fabric store and picked an awesome Electric Blue velvet.
I can't even tell you how happy I am with the results. I love how the blue velvet compliments the dark wood of the table and chairs, and adds a funky touch to the otherwise too-pretty formal dining room.
I plan on sharing more Before & Afters as I get further into making this house a Home, so stay tuned...
Fabulous! I love it!

I have been looking for a fabulous cobalt blue velvet for recovering an ottoman. Is there any chance you could share where you purchased this fabric? I've searched online, local fabric stores and have never found it.
