[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 3111428, member: 84"]I found these today at my local thrift store - since I sold a room full of vintage toys last Sunday & can see the room again, I am trying to buy bigger & better things that won't crowd up a room (see 1st 2 photos of what room looked like before at end!).

(the seats are the old plastic straps that someone painted along with the chairs) What should I call them? Should I paint them or leave for buyer? If I do it - what color is best? Thanks all!
