Flag inspired retro dining chairs

 Finished up the last of these chairs yesterday afternoon.  Once again one of my neighbours helped me out and fixed a couple of the chair seat bases that were in need of some minor strengthening repairs.
 So after I had finished the Union Jack chair, inspiration came to me to do the other two chairs with simple flag designs so they would have not only be a similar colour but also have some sort of theme in common too. A quick search on Google and I came up with the 'Swiss' and 'Norwegian' flag designs chosen because of their simplicity and similar colour combos. I also needed them to look good with the blue and white stripe oilcloth that I already and put aside to cover the seats. So pleased with how they have turned out. Wish I had more of these chairs to re-vamp now... Which one do you like best??

They are sensational Catherine! There is no way I could pick a favourite. I would have a whole table full if I could!

I can't pick a favorite either, but the combo of all 3 makes any one look more fabulous

Very fun. I can see these chairs at a pretty painted white wood table with some bright blue vases and red gerber daisies. :-)

A favourite? The Union Flag of course! But then I am English! They look great together

I like all of these three chairs. But as a Swiss I would of course be sitting on the left chair ;-) !
