In addition to the chandelier crime, take note: -drop ceiling, presumably to hide the exposed pipework -pipework is exposed anyway -pipework cuts right through that beam, which is either decorative, or not decorative, and that's bad in a different way either way -old crown molding left in place -old crown molding still wasn't flush with previous ceiling height -two pocket lights in that corner for some reason? -sprinkler head a few inches from lighting/wiring?

To me it looks like a curtain would be pulled across all that equipment area, also might explain the can lights along that line as well, catching the hypothetical curtains. Still looks like a bit of a mess.

Does anybody have suggestions for dining chairs for guests that can stowed away when they’re not needed? I have a smaller space and need something that can match some pink velvet upholstered chairs with vertical tufts and brass legs.

In my grandparents case they have like 15 extra Windsor chairs strategically placed throughout the house in various rooms. Unless you want to get like pink folding chairs, that’s probably a good option? Provided you have the space. We just have plastic folding chairs from Costco if we happen to have more than like 6 people eating at the table.

I’d look at some decent stacking chairs from somewhere like ikea or Blu dot or DWR, depending on your budget. Instead of trying to match them to your ‘usual’ chairs find a design that complements them. Then keep the occasional chairs stowed away when not in use, but accessible.

Re: extra chairs: I currently have a few of the strategically placed side chairs (my parents do this and I got it from them), but not nearly enough at this point, so I keep a stack of metal and/or plastic folding chairs, none of which match, some of which are rusty. They get the job done. Eventually the goal is to have more extra chairs placed around the main floor, but since I can only fit so many, also have a set of cute wooden folding chairs for those times when we have super huge gatherings.

I have 4 of those japanese floor chairs for flexible seating. When there are a lot of people over I can put them in my family room between the couch and TV. Also when I use the leaf on my dinner table, the end hangs over a large window bench in my dining room allowing the legless chairs to be used at the dinner table seating up to 3(children) sitting cross legged. When not in use they tuck away taking up very little space in an alcove on the mentioned window bench. Bonus, watching my guests have a moment of crisis wondering if I'm serious when I break out the floor chairs is hilarious.

I moved to Japan over 10 years ago and it's hilarious how much my parents actually physically can't sit on the floor when they visit from the US. My dad usually tips over and lays on his side like an rear end in a top hat Roman. #slavsquats

When I was a kid my dad had a bunch of folding director's chairs for use as extra chairs. They were nicer than the typical folding chair; more sturdy, more comfortable. This kind of thing:  except his were from the 1970s, well made, and more attractive. But they could be stowed in a closet when not in use, and the fabric could be easily washed.

I found a great one when looking through the rental markets. Here's the exterior. This is a pretty typical apartment block in Melbourne. Inside you'll expect something with fittings from either the 50's or leftovers from the 90's dotted around and the walls painted white. Not this place.  Yeah where to begin? I'm guessing it's meant to be some sort of Asian inspired styling but sort of looks like a bad take of Jabba the Hutt's lair.   I'm the little cupboards positioned at the ceiling. Unless they are hiding something like a power box.  This is the bedroom.  And the bathroom. Pink is the go-to for how hold your bathroom is as it was quite the design choice of the 50's. Just gussied up with some 90's tile flair and lots of wrought iron victoriania. Such as the oven being repurposed as a sink.

I was okay with it until the bathroom, where the combination of aged pink fixtures and wrought iron just kind of gives me weird chills. It feels unsafe, somehow.
