Finally! Our barstools are arriving tomorrow. I tend to want to get everything done and decorated in a hurry, because it's tough for me to relax in a half-done space, but we were very patient with these. We wanted something that was modern and would fit with our black-granite and stainless-steel kitchen, but Chris was adamant that they have backs. Comfort is key for that guy. Of course, price was also a factor. We were both taken with the Eurway flower barstool:

It really tested the limits of my patience, though. They were backordered-- one of my least favorite words, after "nucular (sic)" and "incentivize." Tomorrow, the wait will be over. Here's a re-posted pic of the kitchen.

I've been eyeing stainless steel tiles on Ebay lately as part of a half-baked idea to install our own backsplash. The Do It Yourself sites online make it sound so easy (except for the lines that begin: "take your electric tile cutter..."), but I've said it before: We're not the handiest of couples. Stay tuned.

I have made a very concerted effort NOT to complain to you in person -- rather I seethe on the inside as I await new updates :-) Meanwhile... I LOVE the new barstools -- and not just because they have the little foot rest bar thingys that are so very convenient for the vertically challenged.
I love them and cannot wait to see them in person. how do they look?
they look great! I'll post a pic soon.
I just stumbled on your blog and am loving it. What is that blue color in your bedroom? The Benjamin Moore seafoam blue you mentioned in an earlier post? I have been looking at colors and testing swatches but that color looks gorgeous!
Hi Delphine! I've been unbelievably neglectful of this blog, having sacrificed it to the wedding-planning gods. I'll check our paint cans at home and let you know what the color is, because I can't remember anymore whether we went with the seafoam.
seafoam blue it is.
How did the black bar stools turn out? I am thinking of getting the same once but in white.
