Room of the Day: Dining Room for Unexpected Guests

I am usually on the fence about unmatched dining chairs and I usually like it when the armchairs on the end are different and then the dining chairs with no arms along the main area. This interior though has every chair different but you can see that there was still a lot of thought involved. Look how well the traditional portrait art goes with the different colored chairs. The balance is impeccable. It is so well put together and at the same time it isn’t. You might think that the host was dining for one and then unexpectedly 9 more people came in to join so they had to go searching throughout the house to find chairs for the guests. It’s fun to imagine the scenario. :)

So what do you think? Could you pull this off and would you ever dare implement this idea into your own home?
