and now, so are my kitchen table chairs!
if you have followed my blog since the beginning, youll remember i had an unfinished wood table and i could never figure out what to do with it. emily helped me pick out colors-we started with funky 70s blue, yellow, and green. then we liked the yellow so much we just went with it!
- I love them! They look so cheery. We just did a mini kitchen re-deco & went for bright colors too, I joke that it inspires me to want to keep the dishes done. LOL
- so cheery. nice job.
- FABULOUS!!! One of the best things in the world is a piece of painted furniture...especially if you painted it yourself. Enjoy!
- love how mismatchy they all are too. really makes me feel that good people must live there. xo.
- super cute...oh how i love yellow...since childhood actually & now anytime he sees anything yellow my little guy says 'that's yellow, mom. that's your fravit color' :)...yes it is:)...love those chairs!
- That colour just makes you smile. Perfect!
- I love the yellow...looks so cozy. I've followed your blog from the beginning and I always loved your decorating style. Would love to see more of your decor and how you display your photos.
- Yum, love your table! The yellow makes me smile :)
- So cool! And I love that the style of the chairs are different. Very, very cool!
- I love they yellow! We just did our kitchen walls in yellow and the whole room just came together...
- i love'em. i too like how mixed and matched they are. i wondered if you ever painted them green. i love emily. i now read her blog everyday. how is "one project a week" going? are you still doing that? i loved your article in ss. i too think mckenna just keeps getting cuter. what an endearing little face. hope all is well ria
- So bright fresh and clean!!! Love it!!! I am headed to Madison in 2 weeks to buy a house!!! i am so nervous and soo excited!!! You'll have to visit in July!!!! I may even have a spare room for you! :-)
- OOhh! cute!!! But now I want to see a pic of all you sitting around it! :) C'mon you can set up a timer photo, right??? I'm trying to picture all 6 of you around it, and I just can't wrap my mind around that and a table full of food. ;)
- Such a lovely color! Now can we see all the Whitney's around the table? That would be a nice everyday memory to capture... the place where a family begins each new day and reconnects in the evening... tfs!
- From the bits and pieces I've seen of your house, it's so cool and creative. I'd love to see more.
- Tara, I agree with Melissa above -- I would love to see more of your decor, etc. Hubby and I are moving into our first little home next week and I got a lot of inspiration from the link you had to the cute little apartment. I have been wanting to paint our table and chairs a mustard yellow table and would love to know where you founf that great paint color if you don't mind sharing. Keep up the highly inspirational good work!
- I can't wait to sit down in one of those. :)
- love your new portrait. great color with your new banner.
- love your new picture. You look very pretty, and those two colors together are my favorite.
- it looks so FRESH! even on a grey day that could only make you smile.
- LOVE this! I love that all 6 chairs are different, yet the same now. And loving the white pedestal table to go with it. And especially loving that in that pic you see the 6 chairs and the number 6 perched on your mantle too. CUTE!
- Coldplay!! I love that song :) Great pic - I used to want everything to match: not any more. I love that they are all the same yet different. Do the kids each have a favourite? Oh how I love big families. I have 6 siblings yet only one child and that makes me a teensy bit sad. Can't wait for your new website to launch!
- ... i love it !!! ... reminds me of goldie locks and the three bears with the little chairs ... soooo cute !!!
- That yellow is completely dreamy! I would LOVE to eat at that table...so cheery! Nice job! :)
- i love these! they do feel sort of retro! :) i looooove the color... looks like a color that would take on different moods in different seasons :) love that! you pretty much rock. i pretty much adore you. Els
- Looks really good - nice and bright - I like how each chair is different - Very cool :)

- We have a round table for our family of five that is needing some love you just might have given me the lil' push I need to spruce it up. I love the six beautiful, cheerful chairs all waiting for their occupants. I love the peak of the number six off to the left there. Read your blog pretty religiously and am a fan of your photography. Your family life is a beautiful one. Keep it up.
- i think it is so great and i love the pic on the sidebar. so beautiful. love the colors on you.
- LOVE it.....love the color...:) hows...your spring break..i am pulling out my hair...:) xo xo xo michelle
- Lov'n yellow these days! Of course, anything you and Emily conspire on is destined to be fab anyway!
- OH this is so lovely and summery. I am trying to convince my husband that our new dining table could be fun! I want a silver table.. and black chairs. We are house hunting and it wouldnt suit either house we are hoping for... so I am back looking for inspiration..I always find something here! Love the lil chairs and big chairs!
- I only comment once in a blue moon. but you must know.... when I'm blue, I visit Tara Whitley. It reminds me of what is important. Thanks, Tara.
- I'm sure I will be the hundredth person to say this, but I love the mismatched chairs. I SO wish my house had character like that. Love the color combo, too.
- You so totally rock. I love your chairs. A-N-D...... You have Ron Sexsmith on your site. That TOTALLY puts your cool factor over the top. He has been a Canadian legend for a plenty long time... bout time he get some play south of the border.
- i love round tables, everyone is equal, i love that you're chairs are unique individuals, like the people who sit there + cant wait to see your website
- I love the yellow... chairs and song!
- Love your Pottery Barn "6"!! :) We have their "3"! Same reason... there are three of us. Love the symbolism! Cool chairs too. My mom has had mismatched chairs at her (similar to yours) table for years and I just love it! Love seeing your work, Tara... you are always so inspiring.
