Kitchen Stools

One of my current hunts is to find some new (or old) bar stools for my kitchen counter. The kids absolutely love sitting on stools, so I am looking to find 3.

Naturally, I wish I could run out and purchase some stools immediately, but in order to find exactly what I am looking for (and in my price range), I need to be patient.

Who knows? Maybe they will just fall right into my lap...

Check out some of these lovelies -

Inspiring...


I LOVE this Blog and I LOVE this shower! One of my favorite ideas is the twine/clothespin/bookpage name banner. I am so going to copy this, however, I plan to tweak slightly :). I will use the twine and clothespins, but instead of just normal pages ripped out of a book, I will choose my pages from Children's story books. I also am looking to use a Cricut machine and print the letters on paper, but if I get brave enough, I may take on the project of fabric letters - an idea from the amazing Carey at http://www.withjoycarey.blogspot.com/.
