Just about a month ago, I told you guys about my decision to go with the iconic wishbone chair in my dining room, and they’re finally here! After I posted about them in Perching Perfect, my wonderful friend (and House of Earnest Contributor) Lacey Anne sent me a text that a store in Nashville had a very good replica of the chair I wanted. And they were only $99. As it turns out, the store had a Cincinnati location too. I cruised down there with a friend on Saturday and Voila! There they were, and they were nice. I don’t know what I was expecting for $99, but there were really nice.
If someone could be in love with their dining room chairs, it would be me.
If you recall, the old chairs were bought at around $20 each to serve as place holders until I found something that I really loved. The were too contemporary and sleek for the room, and I’m aiming for something modern, but casual and comfortable. Since the table is so large, it can quickly start to look stately and commanding. I want my dining room to be a place where long conversations are had over dinner with friends, homework and volcano projects are made, and ideas and collaborations are born.
I think all of those things start with a good chair. 
I think tonight I’m going to do my very first new project in the dining room, sitting on my new chairs. It’s another fun Valentines surprise for you guys later this week! Get excited (get excited about the chairs too, because I’m seriously dying about them over here).
Have a SPECTACULAR Monday!

They look great in the room!
They look amazing!
Oooh, I love those!
Awesome awesome find! These are great!!
Ooo, I love them! The look so homey and really warm up the room. Great find! Were those $99 each or altogether? Either way, a good deal!
Hi Kristen – I got them for $99 each. The originals are $900 each, so I was pretty happy
They are AWESOME!
I love your enthusiasm
Chairs(/stools) have been on our minds also… we’re trying to find the perfect stool for our counter-height eating area. Looking at these makes me wish we had more room for a dining room and table!

Those chairs are incredible! I just bought a 7-piece Midcentury Modern dining set from a local thrift store, and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. It’s got amazing lines, but is really beaten up. I love the juxtaposition of the natural wood grain and the sleek black accents on your table and chairs. I might just have to give that a shot
Beautiful dining room!
I’m super curious about this set you bought! pics?
I love those chairs! I think they go very well with your dining room. Some time back I bought 8 Eco Parisi chairs from the UK and changed my dining room. Great find!
Oh Erin, these are gorgeous! What an amazing choice … and such a great find!
Can I ask where you got the chairs from? They are along the lines of what I’m looking for for our dining room – a little modern, a little rustic, combo of black and wood tones.
The look great in your room!
They are from this place called Home Emporium near the Tri-County Mall (below is the link) they had some pretty random things, but a TON of these chairs in dk brown, light brown, and black!

oh absolutely agree! they look perfect!
LOVE THEM! Can’t wait to try them out!
Love them! Love their shape. Looks great in the room!
They are absolutely perfect for the space!
GIRL. They are phenomenal! $99??? Crazy….
You’re not the only one in love…well done, friend.
As a designer, I am attracted to my fair share of chairs, but the wishbone is and always has been my very favourite. AMAZING knock-off – great find!
you would really love this other prize chair I bought that I haven’t shown yet. It was my surprise success!
Black was a great call- they look perfect in the room.
Thank you!! You know I was back and forth on color…
Where did you get your stools at the head of the table in the before shot. I love them.
Hi Rachel,
The stools in the before photo are from Home Goods/Marshalls and are about a year old – but they always have fun things and might still have something similar!
