Recommended Reading: Parents Central
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a new website, Parents Central, that will, quite frankly, help save children's lives. The site offers frequently updated safety information for kids in cars—from the newborn firstborn to the teen homecoming queen—as well as safety guidance for travel of all kinds including bicycling, walking and riding the bus to school.
Last month's Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a critical evidence base for parents, and health care professionals, to book mark and follow Parents Central. The April report showed that child injury death rates dropped nearly 30 percent from 2000 to 2009, with a significant part of that decline coming from a 41 percent drop in motor vehicle crash deaths in children over the past decade. Safety measures that have reduced deaths in car crashes include use of child safety seats and booster seats, and more widespread adoption and the strengthening of graduated driver's licensing systems for teenagers.
While you're on the Parents Central site, NHTSA resources well worth the look include guidance on choosing and installing car seats, the agency's new campaign to prevent child heatstroke deaths in cars, and tips for staying safe when transporting kids in multi-passenger vans—especially as summer camps and trips start up.
Bonus Reading: Read about Operation Hang Up, an initiative in New York State this past weekend that had police officers aggressively ticketing drivers on their cell phones.

III. The "Street Fighting Man" in Oakland
December 29, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Santa Rosa–Your raconteur finishes his narration on Tariq Ali's visit to San Francisco Bay on the Prophet Issa (PBUH's) birthday (Dec. 25th) in this overgrown farm town – like San Jose a hundred miles to its south with a burgeoning high tech concentration with the possibility of tremendous population growth, too – also, fifty miles north of San Francisco and gritty Oakland where the Anglo-Pakistani Tariq Ali spewed forth his vision on Palestine and so much more two months ago.
"What do you say when the system stops working in the West?"
The Arab Revolution is similar to the French. It is essentially about equality, but it will, further, create the space for future uprisings. (Ali perceives the regime changes in the Maghreb and the rest of North Africa plus the Middle East as part of a political radicalization. Your commentator believes his subject slights his human objects by missing their religious yearning expressed by the disenfranchised Arabs before the "Spring." Succinctly, Ali's vision is an overly secular one.)
Ali deems a new Western Imperialism has arisen simultaneous with (the Israeli War) of 1967. His perception is that of a weakened Washington. Further, he predicts that the American Empire Will collapse from within. (Seeing the Occupy Wall Street Movement so vehemently fought out on the streets of Oakland at that end of last October, and of the Christmastide of this writing, it is still in battle [Occupy Berkeley was just cleared out December 22nd], must have re-enforced his analysis of a crumbling Metropole.)
Regarding a possible Chinese Imperium, it will be one based on trade like the current Anglo-American "Empire."
Of the changes arising in North America, Europe and the Arabic realms, "The most important force are [and will be] the citizens" of their land themselves.
Tariq Ali is the man of the moment, but he only sees the political people power. Yet he fails to acknowledge the spiritual craving of the Fellaheen (i.e., فَلَّاح فَلَّاح) themselves. The Palestinian struggle and the larger Arab "Spring" go further than territory (the Koranic concept of the Ummah (أمة)). It supersedes this, but it goes to the very souls of the lands' residents!
School Districts struggling to pay for needs of uprooted kids
September 24, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karl Huus, MSNBC
OXNARD, Calif. – Nine-year-old Daniel Valdez is absorbed in "The Swiss Family Robinson," the fictional story of a family shipwrecked on a tropical island. In real life, he and his family also are marooned, but there is little romance in their tale of survival in this seaside town northwest of Los Angeles. Daniel, his mother and five brothers, ages 1 to 17, live in a garage without heat or running water in a modest, low-lying neighborhood that sits between celebrity-owned mansions in the hills and the Pacific Ocean. Each morning, they arise at 6:30, get dressed and then leave quietly; they return only after dark — a routine born out of the fear that detection could mean the loss of even this humble dwelling. Daniel and his brothers have been sleeping in the garage for more than a year — members of what school officials and youth advocates say is a rapidly growing legion of homeless youth. While the problem may be worse in economically stricken regions like Southern California, where foreclosures and job losses are taking a harsh toll on families, anecdotal evidence suggests it is a growing issue nationally and one with serious ramifications for both a future generation and the overburdened public school system.
Research shows that the turmoil of homelessness often hinders children's ability to socialize and learn. Many are plagued by hunger, exhaustion, abuse and insecurity. They have a hard time performing at grade level and are about 50 percent less likely to graduate from high school than their peers. "Homeless children are confronted daily by extremely stressful and traumatic experiences that have profound effects on their cognitive development and ability to learn," said Ellen Bassuk, a Harvard Medical School psychiatry professor and president of the nonprofit National Center on Family Homelessness. "They tend to have high rates of developmental delays, learning difficulties and emotional problems as a product of precarious living situations and extreme poverty." Mary Aguilar, Daniel's mother, said she believes the family's tenuous existence is largely responsible for her son's struggles with his third-grade lessons.
"He's depressed a lot," she said of Daniel, whom she says has been the most affected of her sons by the loss of their home. "He does his work for class, but very slowly, like he's thinking. He worries a lot about living like this." Under federal law, schools are charged with keeping homeless students like Daniel from falling behind their peers academically. This can mean providing a wide range of services, including transportation, free lunches, immunizations and referrals to family services.. But with insufficient federal funding and budgets that are severely strained, many schools are struggling to meet the rising need. In Vista, Calif., about 35 miles north of San Diego, the population of homeless kids in the local school district reached 2,542 this year — about 9 percent of the student body and nearly 10 times the number just two years ago, said Rebecca Benner, the district's homeless liaison.
"It's like a tidal wave this school year," she said. Benner's role as homeless liaison — only part of her job providing student services — is now full time, as she scrambles to register homeless students for free lunches, arrange for transportation, provide P.E. uniforms, line up counseling and cover SAT fees. "It was supposed to be one small piece of my day," she said. "… Now it's almost insurmountable to get to the bottom of the phone messages." Hard-to-get numbers – The number of homeless people in the U.S. is the subject of much debate and disagreement. An annual one-night count, performed by social service organizations and volunteers who then report to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, attempts to tally the number of people living on the street, in cars or makeshift tents and in emergency shelters.
The most recent survey — conducted in January 2008, before the full brunt of the recession hit — tallied 759,101 homeless Americans. Roughly 40 percent of them — or about 300,000 — were families with minor children, according to the survey. Advocates for the homeless say a more reliable picture of what is taking place comes through a separate count conducted in public schools, in which the definition of "homeless" is broader. Under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, "homeless" includes not just children who live on the streets, but "any individual who lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence." In addition to those living in shelters or cars or sleeping on the street, that figure includes children whose families are doubled up with other families or living in trailers due to economic hardship, those who live in substandard housing and kids awaiting foster care placement.
In 2007-2008 — the last school year for which data is available — the nation's 14,000 public school districts counted more than 780,000 homeless students, a 15 percent increase from the previous year. "I think that was the beginning of seeing the foreclosure crisis impact," said Barbara Duffield, policy director of the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth. In a voluntary survey late last year by the association and another nonprofit, First Focus, 330 school districts reported that the number of homeless students appears to be far higher, said Duffield, co-author of a report on the survey published in December. She estimated that the number of homeless students is now close to 1 million — exceeding numbers in the period right after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"It's this year, 2008-2009, that the rug was pulled out from under many school districts," she said. Stimulus package to boost funding – Federal funding for schools to provide services fo r homeless kids is allocated through McKinney-Vento, a 1987 law that was bolstered by the No Child Left Behind legislation of 2002. "Under McKinney-Vento, every district is required to have a liaison with the responsibility to identify homeless kids," said Duffield. In addition to the staff, the school districts are responsible for providing a number of services, which can include everything from meals and clothing to athletic uniforms and educational field trips. One of the biggest costs in serving homeless kids is providing transportation to and from school, required even if the kids move out of the immediate area, she said.
The law included funding, but school districts must apply for grants to tap into it. Duffield estimated that only about 6 percent of the nation's school districts received money through McKinney-Vento last year, though many more applied. This year, schools were slated to receive $64 million to aid homeless students under the act. The newly passed federal stimulus package will add $70 million more in funding. That will be a big help, Duffield said, while maintaining that the program "was woefully underfunded" even before the economic crisis pushed more people over the brink. Duffield is now combing through the rest of the $787 billion economic stimulus package to see if funding in other categories might be used to help homeless students.
For instance, the stimulus package includes $79 billion for a "State Fiscal Stabilization Fund" — about 80 percent of which is earmarked for K-12 education and is intended to offset state cuts in education funding. The stimulus also adds $13 billion for Title I, the biggest federally funded education program, for schools that have large concentrations of needy students. Under some interpretations, these funds cannot be used to pay for transportation or liaisons for homeless students. "(But) if the district identifies transportation, liaisons, social workers, gas cards, backpacks or shoes, they ought to be able to use their funds for that, because those are literally some of the needs," Duffield said. "We're looking for flexibility."
Responses to the survey of school districts illustrate the variety of challenges that come with providing for homeless kids. The Wisconsin Rapids Public School District, which serves 5,700 students in the state's rural heart, counted 160 homeless students, a 50 percent increase over two years ago.
"One of the biggest challenges is transportation," Heather Lisitza, the school district's homeless liaison, was quoted as saying in the report. "Our city has only one taxi cab service and no public bus system. Another challenge (is)… we … have long, cold winters, all students need proper outerwear to go outside — snow boots, hat, mittens, snow pants and a winter jacket that has a working zipper or buttons on it. This expense adds up quickly and it is hard to provide to the increasing number of homeless students."
More families pushed over the edge – School districts also say they are seeing more students from middle-class, working-class and working-poor families being pushed into homelessness. Among them are Martin and Luz de la Rosa, who arrived one recent afternoon at the Ventura County (Calif.) Community Action Center, a facility that primarily serves chronically homeless men, for an appointment with a social worker. The de la Rosas explained that they were seeking government assistance for the first time because they and their eight children — ages 3 to 16 — were just days from being evicted from their apartment. Clutching a Bible, Luz de la Rosa said she lost her job at a small jewelry store as the recession kicked in. Then in November, her husband was laid off from the small Oxnard machine shop where he had been earning $19 an hour.
Martin said that left him with two untenable choices — continuing to collect unemployment benefits of $1,600 a month or taking a job at minimum wage, neither of which would cover rent for a home big enough for his family. The de la Rosas said they wouldn't mind moving into a two-bedroom apartment, which is all they can afford here, but landlords won't allow that many occupants. Social worker Delores Suarez said she would like to place them somewhere together, but at the moment, there is simply not enough emergency housing available. "They are probably going to end up split up among relatives" and attending different schools, she said. Other homeless parents said that some schools are either unaware of their obligations to help or aren't eager to provide the required services because of budget constraints.
Next in Suarez's appointment book was a 35-year-old woman named Sylvia, who declined to provide her last name. She said that after a divorce three years ago, she lost her home to foreclosure and then couldn't keep up with rent when she was laid off from her job at a car parts factory. She and her three kids then moved in with a friend. "When the school found out we had moved (away from the neighborhood) … they wanted to remove the kids from school," she said. Only after she met with district officials were they allowed to continue to attend, she said. Identifying the homeless – Compounding the problem of getting school districts to live up to their responsibilities is the fact that many homeless families are unwilling to acknowledge their living situation and therefore don't receive services that could help them, said Susan Eberhart, principal of the Sheridan Way Elementary School in Ventura.
"People have to identify themselves as homeless (in order to get help), but that frequently doesn't happen," she said. "When the school found out we had moved (away from the neighborhood) … they wanted to remove the kids from school," she said. Only after she met with district officials were they allowed to continue to attend, she said. Eberhart said she and her staff are accustomed to kids who are struggling at home — nearly all of the school's 514 K-5 students are poor enough to qualify for free breakfast and20lunch. Although 86 of them were identified as homeless in the last survey, she guesses that, based on telltale signs, at least 100 meet the criteria.
"They have no place to keep stuff, so their backpacks are very full. Their clothes are not clean. They haven't had a haircut, haven't seen a dentist," she said. "… Maybe a kid has asthma and is out of meds." Eberhart said she is swamped by the scope of the problem. She no longer has the assistance of a county social worker who used to handle much of the load — a budget cut caused the county to eliminate that resource. Now she is urging people to ask for help — and prodding community organizations to help fill the gaps as she identifies them. "Some families are sort of floating, she said. "If we can get them to land, we can provide … continuity." While the stigma of homelessness prevents some from acknowledging their plight, others have more immediate concerns, said Beth McCullough, homeless liaison for the Adrian Public Schools in economically battered southeast Michigan.
Families with children living in emergency shelters, pop-up campers, cars and tents can be charged with neglect by Child Protective Services workers, and there have been instances where parents have lost custody, she said. Fearing the loss of their kids, she said, "parents call in and say their kid won't be in school because they are going to Disneyland for a week, when the fact is that (they) don't have a way to get them to school. Or20parents will tell kids to lie about where they live." Homework in pandemonium – For Mary Aguilar, the Oxnard woman living with her kids in the garage — which she rents for $150 a month from a cousin — the assistance her kids might receive at school is not worth the risk that other children will ridicule them if their living arrangement becomes known..
So she tries to help them stay on track, though it's a daily struggle. Daniel recently missed several days of school because of yet another cold — a common ailment, his mother said, because the garage has been especially cold this winter. Normally she walks three of her sons to their elementary school, but some days heavy rains have kept them home. For now, the family has few prospects for better housing. The family became homeless after Aguilar's boyfriend, father to the two youngest boys, left about a year and a half ago, and Aguilar could not pay rent. When an opportunity came to sign up for emergency housing five months ago, she lined up at the courthouse before dawn. For that, she got her name on a waiting list of about two years.
She has applied for jobs in stores and fast-food restaurants and come up empty-handed. She is exploring a work rehab program offered by the state. Meantime, the family gets by on about $1,300 a month in food stamps and cash aid — but no child support from the boys' fathers. For now, the routine remains the same. After school, Aguilar and the six boys go to her20mother's apartment, where her brother and sister also live. Aguilar's family can't stay overnight — that would put the others at risk of eviction — but it is a place to eat and for the boys to study.
But Daniel's 11-year-old brother, Isaac, said he's sometimes too distracted by the pandemonium of 10 people and the television to do his homework. "Then he tries to do it when we get back to the garage, but the light keeps everyone awake," said Aguilar. Isaac has fallen behind a grade, and Aguilar's eldest son, 17-year-old Joshua, is attending a remedial program for drop-outs. Aguilar is pleased that Daniel has so far been able to keep up with his grade level. Unaware of the tough odds he faces, Daniel says he plans to finish high school. Like other boys his age, he still has big dreams — of becoming a basketball star and working at something important someday. But first and foremost, he dreams of "a very beautiful house … with a room of my own." The walls would be decorated, he said, "with posters, and pictures that I have drawn, and tests that I did in school."

Comments about Kit® Carnauba Wash & Wax (602640):
I am a professional all around car guy. I sell everything auto and have tried EVERYTHING that I sell. This is the only car wash that I have ever felt is worthy of sale. It is becoming grievously hard to find because of branding pressure and I seek it out with intent. This stuff washes off to a beautiful glossy shine and repels rain and the very water you use to apply it. Added bonus: It smells quite nice (oddly, like bananas). Rain water beads for about 2 weeks and the shine lasts longer. When followed by a thorough spritzing with Turtle Wax Express Shine while the car is still wet and then moving on to wiping the car off with a terry towel, or better yet, a microfiber one!!.... well... lets say this extra step will have you angry at yourself for not having had a wedding to go to single or some reunion to go blow everyone's minds at with your awesome and blindingly glossy and apparently candy coated minivan...... or whatever you are unfortunate or fortunate enough to be driving. Trust me , this stuff is the cream of the car washes.

Comments about Kit® Carnauba Wash & Wax (602640):
I have been using this car wash on my Chevy truck since it was brand new (1998) it does a wonderful job. The paint on my (white) truck still look like it did when I drove it off the dealership lot almost 10 years ago. It's amazing how good my paint still look after 10 years of weather element. I will continue to buy this product.
Comments about Kit® Carnauba Wash & Wax (602640):
I own several vehicles including a 34' motorhome, which I paste wax maybe once a year. However, I do put Kit Carnauba Wash & Wax in the bucket every time I wash one of them. I use a soft brush and rinse them thoroughly. The shine on the painted & chrome surfaces is very impressive. Oxidation is virtually nonexistent. I tried several wash 'n' wax products before the Kit. This product impressed me even on the first application. That was six years ago and I've used it exclusively ever since. I use 3-4 gallons of Kit Carnauba Wash & Wax. It gives my vehicles that paste wax look without the hard work.

Gary Oldman would be 'thrilled' by Oscar nomination
Nominated for eleven BAFTAs, British espionage film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy could also be on course for Oscar glory.
Screen stalwart Gary Oldman's quietly compelling performance as spy master is supported by a top drawer cast including Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch.
And the Dracula actor admitted he would welcome some attention during awards season.
"I've never actually been nominated. I've been doing this now for 33 years, and it is nice when people like the work and acknowledge it. If it would happen, even just a nomination, I would be thrilled. It would be very nice," Gary recently told The Huffington Post.
Gary will no doubt have to take on Hollywood's golden boys George Clooney and Brad Pitt, both likely to be recognised for The Descendents and Moneyball respectively.
Tilda Swinton is one of the actresses in the running thanks to her role in We Need to Talk about Kevin.
Her strong performance as the mother of a killer trying to come to terms with her son's atrocities will likely pit her against other leading ladies such as Viola Davis and Meryl Streep.
Meanwhile, best picture could go to Steve McQueen's dark and edgy drama, Shame, starring Michael Fassbender.
But it remains to be seen if it will convince the Academy's notoriously conservative voters ahead of firm favourites such as The Artist, Hugo and Steven Spielberg's War Horse.
2011 nominee Jennifer Lawrence will reveal the full line up on Tuesday.

What exactly does last month's rent means? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by soggynacho (My Page) on Tue, Aug 8, 06 at 23:34
Last month's rent is exactly what it sounds like... the rent payment for the last month on the lease. HTH |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Aug 9, 06 at 17:23
EXAMPLE: Your lease runs from September 1, 2006 to Septembber 1 2007 ... landlord collects "first and last months rent" up front. That means that you are paying rent for September 2006 and August 2007, plus any deposits. When August rolls around, IF AND ONLY IF you are moving out, you don't pay rent. If you renew, the pre-paid rent rolls over onto the new lease. |
- Posted by krustytopp (My Page) on Wed, Aug 9, 06 at 17:23
Some landlords call the damage/security deposit "last month's rent" and expect you to pay the full rent for the last month (the deposit is of course returnable). |

Final Thoughts
We liked the ASRock 870 Extreme3. It is fast, clean, easy to use and only $89.99 from NewEgg.com. At this price you can probably grab more RAM, a better GPU, or even pay for the full versions of the trail software included.
Our gaming experience was also great, but our overclocking experience was not that great. We are pretty sure that ASRock will correct this with a future BIOS; after all, they did put a ton of overclocking tools into the current one. We did not get a chance to try out the Core Unlocker function, as that is for another article, but it can also lower your overall cost if you can pick up a tri or dual core CPU and kick it up to a quad.
We think that this board could be one of the best AMD based motherboards in terms of bang for the buck that we have tested.

A Friday Night Fun survey:
As a VERY matchy-match person -- and way symmetrical too ...... the fresh new issue of Traditional Home March 2009 -- the cover (and the story of a lovely home) features a dining room with a round table and six chairs -- three upholstered -- and three seat-only-fabric chairs ..... So --- do YOU like mis-matched chairs around a dining (or kitchen) table?????? Are you a rebel? OR -- (Me! Me! Me!) do you look for a SET of chairs? OR -- do you think that the chairs MUST match the table??? C'mon! Confess -- would you like to give up your matched set -- for a wildy diverse one??? :) LOL! Jan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh heck yeah! But then, I'm a high-contrast, high-detail eclectic kind of person. This is a direct opposite to Hubby, who is so matchy-matchy that the wood on the family room set is the same as the wood of the dining room set. *sigh* To me, eclectic = home, history, comfort, family. Things that match too much look too staged, fake and impersonal. |
- Posted by lynninnewmexico (My Page) on Fri, Jan 16, 09 at 20:27
As eclectic as my tastes are, I tend to like all my chairs to match one another or at lest coordinate very well. By that I mean, I can see the two end chairs being the same and and the rest coordinating, in the same wood with matching upholstery. I've seen ~ and admired~ every chair being similar in design and visual weight, but painted different colors . . . but I don't think I'd do it myself. The bottom line for me is that, while I can enjoy other people's choices, it's not something I'd choose for my own house. Lynn |
Ok do I use mismatched chairs in the dining room, yes, but only because I can't find any that match well enough in style to work into the set of six we already have. I'd LOVE to find something of the right scale in a chippendale esq style, but just haven't been lucky in three years of looking. My chairs are 1840's and the table is 1940's so I'd say I don't specifically match it all. The chairs are chippendale and the table duncan pfyfe phyfe (one of those). They're all mahogany. I do like a bit of formality in the dining room, so that's not a room I'd use...well the chairs I have to use now to fill in LOL (Oak victorian's). No one seems to notice by the time we get around to serving dinner though :) I think it's because we like to get 'em drunk by appetizer time.... |
My kitchen chairs match each other but didn't come with the table. My dining chairs all came with the table. BUT, if it's done right I like the mismatched look. It's safer and easier to match, though and I'm a chicken :p |
- Posted by newdawn1895 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 16, 09 at 20:55
My dining chairs do match but I never liked them. They are reproduction windsor chairs that go with my old heart pine farm table. I am considering buying some chairs from my cousin that are black with gold stenciling from the 19th century. As a rule, I hate matchy matchy I always have even as a younger woman. |
Ve-r-ry interesting ----- some wild gals here at GWHD! LOL! Just for the fun ---- IF you could -- would you do ALL mis-matched table and chairs????? For the record -- I just don't think I'd be comfortable with that ..... hmmmmmmm ....... Jan ....... |
I'm with Lynne on this one. I prefer my chairs to match and was very lucky to find an antique dining seat with 8 chairs. That was very important to me. I do like the look though, of doing upholstered host arm chairs, though there just is not enough room in my Dr for the added bulk, plus a part of me would feel weird about having more comfy chairs for the hosts than what are offered to the guests. I would be OK with having a different style table, though, as long as the wood matched. As for the one on the cover of Traditional Home, while it would not be my first choice, what makes it work is that it is symmetrical where the chairs alternate--three chairs of one style and three of another. Also, I notice that while the style is different the chair height and curved backs are similar. I find it interesting in a mag. like Traditional Home they have to put a new spin on traditional furniture to make it look fresh. Me, I am more of a traditionalist. |
Fun question! I do like matching chairs, though I think it looks very elegant to have upholstered chairs at the head and foot of the table. I have a hard-working, casual dining room with a trestle table - we have two benches for it, but have found it more comfortable to use chairs on one side, bench on the other. It works in this narrow room that is used for all our eating - as well as artwork, science experiments, sewing, etc. |
It IS a fun question! I bought a table & chair set (CL), all matching, not because I actually wanted a set, but because the table was what I needed (small round, expandable to seat 10 or so) & the price was right. I've painted the table top, & considered painting the chairs in color sets of 2, but really, I don't care for the chairs that much & would rather get something else that goes with, but doesn't match the table. I have SO many unmatched pieces of furniture that I think I would breathe easiest if I had no more than 2 different chair styles, & probably all one style. When I have more than 10 for dinner, we need to use 4 types of chairs, but with that many people, we're VERY crowded in my eat-in kitchen, so who cares lol?! My dishes I LOVE - Lindt Stymeist Colorways - each piece has 2 or 3 different colors, & there are a a number of different color combinations. Matchy matchy? oh no.....definitely NOT me! |

While I think it looks nice in other peoples homes with mismatched chairs I couldn't do it in my own. It would bug me. I'd wonder if guests thought it was odd and thought maybe I just couldn't find original chairs or afford a new DR table set? ha |
- Posted by furletcity (My Page) on Fri, Jan 16, 09 at 23:06
I have 6 matching chairs for the DR table, but 3 different types of chair around my kitchen table. In the kitchen, there are 2 very dark blue, distressed, rush seat, Mexican chairs, 2 antique oak, woven seat chairs, and two light blue, spindle back chairs. They somehow work together, and provide some much needed color in my log house. |
I'm matchey. But that's the Victorian way, everything symmetrical. |
Match. But like others have said before me, i can also appreciate the mismatched look if it's done well (see Parma's post). |
I like to see mismatched chairs in a country casual setting. I think it's neat. If the table is dressy or formal, I think mismatched chairs would loook cheesy. |
I have six shield back Baker chairs from the 1940s with seats upholstered in a silk check. I have two modern chairs with an upholstered back that looks just like the shield shape of the original chairs. They are upholstered in a cut velvet embroidered with dragonfiles; the back of the chair is upholstered in the same check as the other chairs. And then I have two very old smaller chairs that are late Victorian and they have an open shield-type back of wood and upholstered seats, which are in the same check. I think it is fine to have mismatched chairs as long as there is some common element---the upholstery, the type of wood, the shape, etc. In my case the backs of each of the three chair types is a shield and the same fabric is used somewhere on each chair. |
I'm in the same situation as Igloochic, in that I have a 1940's mahogany double pedestal table with six 1840's chippendale mahogany chairs. At least the woods match, but the centuries don't! I'd love to have two upholstered arm chairs for each end, and have been looking for something suitable. Because of the other mahogany pieces in this area, (a buffet and large sideboard/china cabinet), I don't think anything too mismatched would work for us. Yet, I have seen it done with great flair and imagination in other homes, and appreciate that as well. |
For me, I like consistency but not necessarily matching ... but I enjoy comfort above all! We've three sets of chairs in our dining room: Two are these acrylic Louis Ghost armchairs (little girls who visit love to sit in these because they think the chairs are akin to Cinderella's glass slippers), purchased through eBay: Four are these Ethan Allen wood chairs: And the two which sit at the heads of the table are these wrought iron armchairs (they're from San Miguel de Allende): I love how the eight chairs aren't a set and don't perfectly match one another -- that would k-i-l-l me (so I'm into hyperbole). However, I think all eight chairs really do form a cohesive whole: they're all similar in style. I really had fun finding my three different chairs, and I think they work beautifully with our bookmatched raw edge table. |
My chairs in the DR blend with the table well but didn't come together as a set. The side buffet was picked up too at a Warehouse Sale of one of the best furniture dealers in the Delta & is a little darker than the table & chairs are a little lighter but they all blend so well it is hard to see any difference. I like things to look collected as along as seem to make some sense. I posted a pic of the DR if you wanna take a peek. Bonnie |
Here is a link that might be useful: DR
OMG rmkitchen I love love LOVE your table!!! AND your chairs!! That is exactly the sort of not-matchy look I adore! If my kitchen (i.e., non-existent dining room) had the space, your dining table would my dream table - seriously! And I agree that comfort, in a chair, is of utmost importance. |
That table. Oh ... My ... God. It's magnificent. |
- Posted by frenchdressing (My Page) on Sat, Jan 17, 09 at 1:55
Either way.. mixed or the same. But if they are mixed I prefer that they match in their varied-ness. What I mean is that a group of mismatched chairs doesn't mean it will look good, they have to have a common thread. (I am new to the forums and do not know how to add photos, otherwise I would.) |
- Posted by bellaflora (My Page) on Sat, Jan 17, 09 at 7:21
Design is all about context, so my answer is, "yes & no, depending on the circumstances." :-) |

I love mismatched chairs sets like RM's. Very interesting and fun. Hmmm, have to check Ebay for ghost chairs. Mine will match because they came with my BF and I have to use them but my tables will always be a different style. I'm not real symmetric by nature though I like symmetric when I see it. |
Ah! So far many of you might like different elements (chairs, table or even both) but many still need a common element too for a sense (visually?) of "decorative community" ...... I often wonder how I would feel about a table and chairs like the Weasleys --- in the Harry Potter series -- where EACH and EVERY chair is SO different around their long, long pine kitchen table ....... hmmmmmmm ....... Thanks for including photos -- wow! Those Ghost chairs are really cool --- and yes! I have often wondered if they are comfy too! LOL! :) Has anyone been to dinner at someone's house ---- and the chairs were UNCOMFORTABLE??? I have -- and I thought it was just me and my backside (which has way too much padding as it is! LOL) ----- but even my DH commented on them later ..... Jan |
- Posted by tishtoshnm (My Page) on Sat, Jan 17, 09 at 12:08
I could mix and match as long there is a common thread among them for a dining room. Now if I had a breakfast room with a southeast exposure and wonderful windows with an old pine table, vintage linens and mix and matched chairs, I don't think I would ever leave it, except to get another pot of tea. However, dh would never be able to stand the mismatched chairs, he just wouldnot even be able to look at it. |
We have mixed chairs. In the dining room we have 4 of the same pressed back chairs that we got with the table. It was dh grandparents. We had 6 chairs but were able to put them together to make 4. And I have a thing for chairs, so at farm auctions I pick up what I can find that I like. In the kitchen the chairs are all dark green, but 2 match and 1 is a little different. I am looking - really hard - for dining room chairs. But, we are both picky. Karen L |
Kitchen chairs match the table DR table and chairs have the same color wood, but the host and hostess chairs are upholstered, while the other 4 just have cushioned seats. Welcome Frenchdressing...hurry and learn to post pictures, you have LOTS that we will enjoy seeing!!! |
I'm more inclined to mismatched chairs, while DH is more inclined to matching. We've compromised and decided I can paint our 6 matching chairs different colors, until I can afford to buy upholstered chairs. Because like many of you, comfort rules, and our wood chairs are definitely lacking in that. |
I have an antique round pedestal table painted black. The chairs are a contemporary Parson style but each is a different color fabric (blue, green, yellow and red - all sort of muted so it doesn't look like a box of crayons). |

In the kitchen we have 4 ladder back chairs and we made 2 small chairs and I matched the stain on the small chairs to the existing chairs. In the dining room our set came with 4 cane back chairs, and two upholstered back side chairs. Several years ago, I decided I wanted two more chairs. We went on a hunt and the first place we walked into had two cane back chairs, and a bonus matching side chair with arms. We bought them home, refinished and restored them, again matching the stain to the existing chairs. Everything blends nicely and it's interesting and different for sure. Joann |
