It's par-tay time at The Pink Pagoda!
I would like to invite you to attend Jennifer's fourth Blue and White Bash today! If you are a blogger, you can link-up and share your own post, or if you are a reader, you can simply sit back and behold all of the beautiful blue and white!
Today is my third time attending one of Jennifer's bashes; the first time I brought a recreation of a blue and white room by Meg Braff, the second time I brought some blue and white ways to decorate for Christmas, and today I thought I would be practical by bringing some extra seating to the party...
This time of year, the thought of sitting outside at a sidewalk cafe, sipping on (insert preferred beverage here) while watching the world go by, sounds just peachy... But we're being practical today and for most of us, it's just not warm enough yet. Not even here in South Carolina, which--by the way--was covered in ice a few short days ago...
The good news? You can bring a little bistro home! These beautiful blue and white bistro chairs shouldn't be confined to sidewalk cafes, or even indoor bistros, but should instead be considered for a variety of dining decor. They add texture and color to a room, as well as a surprising element of sophisticated style worthy of any chic Parisian...
Voilà!:

Wouldn't they be fun to mix up? Like, have six different kinds at one table?! Who's with me? Bueller?
DeleteOh these are my two favourites as well! Gosh Emilie, you have the eagle eye finding all these examples of this genre of chairs
ReplyDeleteWhere there's a will, there's a way! Heck--I love these chairs so much I would weave my own! ;-o
DeleteI wish I could make bistro chairs work in my house. I love the romantic, Parisian feel and I understand they are nearly bomb proof.
ReplyDeleteI am super curious about your big news.
Lol--your comments are the best, Kerry. And as for the big news, ;-) ;-)
DeleteI love these chairs. Great pictures. They look really comfortable, too.
ReplyDeleteCute, comfortable...and according to Kerry, bomb proof! What more could a girl ask for?!
DeleteIt just hit me I need two barstools!! Great roundup!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOzana
Hahaha--don't we all?! ;-)
DeleteI love bistro chairs, especially after seeing them in Italy in October at all the cafes, and all the memories that come with them! It's raining here today, and thoughts of sitting at a cafe people watching on a lovely day is dreamy! Take me away! xo Nancy
ReplyDeleteExactly!!! Nothing bad ever happens in a bistro chair! ;-o
DeleteWe love those French bistro chairs, they are so chic and comfortable too! Great post! Will follow!
ReplyDeleteYay! Welcome--so glad you are here and that you enjoyed the post!

holla!
Holla indeed!!! Nancy these are AMAZING--what a great find! I heart Overstock so much! Thank you on behalf of all of us!
DeleteI have been thinking about blue and white bistro chairs for my island for a while! Thanks for the links... think I may be doing a little shopping this morning! :) I love the ones from Williams Sonoma Home!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Have fun and keep up posted if you find anything! Check out the link to the ones at Overstock that Nancy shared (above)--they are GORGEOUS and a total steal, but you may need bar height. Good luck!!!
DeleteAll are just lovely but my favorite is the Ashley Whittaker!
ReplyDeleteThey are, aren't they? I can't decide which my favorite is...
DeleteI love the little differences in the patterns and colors of all the chairs! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGoing to stick with the European them here: each in their own way...
DeleteYou have the best eye, what an incredible round up!! These rooms are all to die for, and of course I swoon over anything created by Ashley Whittaker! So excited about your big news!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteAshley Whittaker couldn't go wrong if she tried! In other news, I am so excited, too!!! ;-) ;-)
DeleteFab roundup! It's hard to pick faves; they're all great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacey! I think the only solution is to just buy all the chairs and redecorate once a week...
DeleteLove it all Emilie! I have been drawn to bistro chairs for as long as I can remember, I just wish I had more rooms in my home to put them in! hahaha! Great finds dear!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vel! I have seen enough of your house to know it is perfect as is, so in a effort to get creative, perhaps you *could* create your own sidewalk cafe??? ;-)
Deletelove the bistro chairs. I just used them in a project and they are indestructible.
ReplyDeleteToo funny--that is what everyone is saying! I never really even thought about that aspect of the chair, although I suppose I should be, ha, ha! :-/ Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a great round-up of beautiful pictures and chairs! It brought up wonderful (and warm) memories of watching Paris walk by while sitting at a cafe w/my husband. We came home and I bought two of them for my front porch...they are currently buried in snow. :( Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kate! Apparently they are quite durable, so hopefully they will weather the storm! But if not, you may just have to go back to Paris... ;-o
DeleteI am crazy for the blue and white bistro chairs but I can't figure out where they will fit in my home. I really need a second home to fill with all of the inspiration from fellow bloggers, and I am passing your post onto one of the posse who is redoing her river home. These chairs would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think you are on to something! In the meantime, enjoy helping your friend to redecorate her river home (and perhaps eventually her bistro chairs!)...she is lucky to have such a talented friend to help!
DeleteLove bistros! They are SO kid friendly :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh--I will keep that in mind! ;-)
DeleteI love these bistro chairs, Emilie! And all of your photos are beautiful -- thank you for linking up today!! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Jennifer!!! :)
DeleteI love all these inspiration pics and the sources! Now following so I can keep up with all your fun posts. :)
