kitchen table thoughts

so i've been wanting to refinish my kitchen table and chairs for a while.  but not sure what to do, it's just stayed in its ugly current state. (see here for it's ugliness)

i've recently decided to refinish the table and get new chairs.  i'm going to stain the table a weathered gray.  like this:

refinishing just a table seems so much more manageable and should happen in this decade.  and now... i need some help choosing new chairs.  

some fake eames chair.  (overstock.com)

lucite chairs (overstock.com) - is lucite too too trendy?  

another lucite chair (ikea) will ikea chairs fall apart in 2 months? 

simple modern white chair (ikea)  again, will i like an ikea option? although these look pretty solid and not much to fall apart on this. 

orange tabouret chairs (overstock.com) - the outlier.  i like these a lot.  will i regret buying orange chairs in a year?  hmm, the million dollar question i guess.

ps - i know it's fashionable to mix styles of chairs. but that's just not me.  mixing the table and chair style is as far as i can go, having all different chairs would give me heart palpitations :)
