Okay, I know I'm weird but I kind of love it. It's AWFUL I know, but it reminds me of my great-aunt's old house in Elmira, PA. :)

I would leave the floor. I would rip out the wallpaper and paint the walls some shimmery mustardy gold to pick up the color in the floor. If you have a breakfast nook, I would look for some old-style dinette set (you know, the type with chrome and vinyl) and a big gold cheesy chandelier and glam it up - sort of a 50s or 60s cheesy grandma style! Even if you don't have a breakfast nook, I think the color on the walls with some light blue accents and funky artwork MIGHT be fun - have to see the rest of the kitchen to tell. :)

I don't think the chairs will EVER go with that table because of the rounded back of the chairs and the square lines of the table. That said, if you get new ones on craigslist, maybe you can sell these on craigslist as well to offset the cost?

If you DO keep them, I would think about stenciling the seats. Find some sort of fabric/leather paint at Michaels or online, SEAL them afterwards so the paint doesn't rub off on your bum, and consider stenciling each one differently. You'd have to pick your stencils carefully - I'd either go with something very small and cute in the center of each seat or something oversized like a big design from victorian wallpaper. Of course, if you spraypaint the chair frames you can go in different directions with this.

I also really love the idea of weaving the back. If you do that, you could weave around the outer frame up to the point where it starts to curve - that would square off the back and help the shape match the table better maybe?
