bar stools

A kitchen island is a wonderful thing. It's such a great way to mix in different styles into a kitchen.

I absolutely love this sleek kitchen and it's antique looking table that doubles as an island. In our new kitchen, we will not have a true island, but I will be on the lookout for a small version of this. Just large enough to tuck some stools under.

That is the reason for this post. Our new kitchen has off white cabinets, wood floors, and a grayish granite counter top. There are so many different styles of bar chairs, that I will have many options....

When I think of "bar stools," I tend to picture a vinyl covered thing at a sports bar. But some of these pictures prove they can be very chic.



Charles has always liked Windsor Chairs, so I saved this picture above. I really like the small Windsor bar chair.



Found this one on Twenga. I think it's from the UK. I will have to keep looking for more affordable versions if we decide to go this route.

This kitchen above has been all over design blogs. What a nice sized island! In a smaller space these lucite stools are perfect!

I like these mod stools mixed with a traditional space.

And here are some other great options I found.
