Come dine with beaconstrips: A space filled with mismatched chairs

261

Hey there! Step into our dining space – no walls were harmed in keeping it intertwined with our living room. We're all about thrifting and embracing mismatched chairs for that extra flair. Our star player? The pendant lamp from Carousell, emits a cosy orange glow. The dining table, a Carousell find with a cool 1960s vibe, complements chairs from Taobao and Hock Siong – a thrifted mix for our unique style.
This is what our dining room looks like at night!
We've chosen a round table to encourage circle chats. It might seem small, but it comfortably seats eight – tested and approved.
One of our top chairs is the cheese chair from Taobao. Spotted it in Seoul, and thanks to Taobao, our wish came true – we ordered it online🧀✨ The weaved chair, usually part of our master bedroom, steps in for extra guests.
When we're not hosting, our stool does double duty as a side table. The framed man? A screen-print (by one of us) of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the architect behind the Glasgow School of Art. In some ways, he played a part in bringing both of us together, and he's an invaluable souvenir from our time in Glasgow.
Toys on the lamp? Absolutely! Our space-themed figures turn it into a retro 60s spaceship. And check out our Taobao clock – not just a timepiece, but a stylish cover for the bomb shelter hole. By day, the blue adds a cool contrast to the warm orange vibe 🕰️✨
