So I am using the dining room set my beloved grandfather had purchased over 30 years ago and had given to my parents. They have been long divorced and I've been storing it in a warehouse for the past 5 years. The chairs are outdated and need to be recovered. But I have to say - it looks nice mixing old with new things in a log home. Besides - I like having a memory of my grandfather in my most favorite place in the world.

I LOVE IT... it's sooo pretty...
you have the most beautiful cabin!
oh shelly! I love it - it looks beautiful AND it has history!! perfect!!
My hubby and I are in the process of buying an old stone cottage with the plan to build a log or cabin home someday on the property. The cottage is all wood inside much like a cabin and I will be using my great grandmother's dining table which just happens to be an old 50's retro chrome diner table much like you would see in Grease. How's that for clashing? lol. Your table fits perfectly.
I like it, and it looks great with that rug!
Good idea!! We did that with many things until we had the money to buy something we wanted that we thought was more log home style, or decided it was really needed.
Terry - tahnk you!!
Michele / Reliv - thank you too! I loved my papa very much so the history is especially impt.
Hot belly mama - Your dining table sounds perfect and that it'll be a great conversation piece!
Wendy- glad you like my rug too!
Jen - Exactly - we are doing things one at a time!
It is wonderful! A very classic set. When you recover the seats, you could also paint the chairs and table to make them more rustic....just a thought from someone who paints everything!

Penny - I welcome and APPRECIATE your ideas! Your things are so wonderful!
Very nice choice Shelley :)
I like that set. Seems to me you don't have to look any farther.
nice.
It looks like a perfect fit too!
So nice to have a family piece. I was gonna suggest a metal table and chairs, 'cuz that's an awful lot of wood you've got there!!! hehehehehe. Really, your place is so warm and welcoming, like a nicely feathered nest. I'm leaving a comment after your "a lot of wood" posting too.
I think it looks beautiful. It fits in perfectly from what I can tell in the picture.
SandyVTW - thanks!!
Sandy - I think you're right, I'm definitely fine for a while!
Jennifer - I took 2 leafs out of it to make it into a small round table - and you're right about the fit. Just perfect for my humble dining area.
Cassie - you made me laugh! Yes - a lot of wood - I need more textures!!
Christy - I'm so glad you like it too!
The table and chairs look great and I love your rug too.
