Changing up the Ole Bar Stools

Do you ever just sit and stare at the interiors for your home? No!...well I do! You all might think I am a little quirky, but I notice every detail of everything! Ask my momma!

One day I was sitting in a different spot in my living room looking over into my kitchen and I saw this...

Some of you are like...well yeah. So what? I noticed a lot of maple wood. Don't get me wrong, I like my maple cabinets but having those bar stools match the maple cabinets is a little TOO much maple for my liking. I absolutely adore my West Elm Pendants and wanted to add either a little pop of color with my bar stools or maybe a little industrial metal to tie in those pendants.

I love Emily's bar stools that she purchased on overstock (2 for $99)!!

They really add a punch of color to her darker cabinets.


Here are a couple of others I found on the web that I like:

These bar stools are very similar to mine. I guess I could always paint mine a fun color?!

Again...I am drawn to that industrial look as well. 

I found a few different choices around the web that might interest you (or not)!

Overstock: (2 for $99) Come in a variety of colors and your choice for bar or counter height! Wouldn't the yellow give my kitchen a little pop?

Or I could go with more of a vintage/industrial look with these guys. Once again Overstock (2 for $109).

This vintage drafting stool interests me as well. I like the wood and metal mix. World Market $119.99.

These ribbon bar stools from West Elm are also adorable..but only have the red one left.

Won't work in my space, but the red is on sale!! ($89.99 for bar height & $79.99 for counter)

So many decisions...what is a girl suppose to do? What do you all think?
Help!
