Do you all remember my mission to find stools? Kitchen stools. Beautiful kitchen stools.

Like these stools I found at a local consignment shop.

Beautiful, right?

$10 a piece. What a steal. Nate was super excited about them but humored me anyways because the three stools combined were a third of the cost of all of the other stools I was looking at.

I tore them apart, spray painted the bases and stained the tops. I was afraid to bring them in the house for fear of hating them. So they sat in the garage disassembled for 2 months. It’s really hard being me. And my husband. And being a blogger that takes night photos on her cell phone.

The problem is that I’m debating if I like them. I mean, I like them. But do I like them in my kitchen? I’m such a weirdo. I always have to grow to love new things. Even though I really like news things. They look less JCPenney catalog than our saddle stools but I’m not sure about their size.

I’m a sneaky blogger too. Kitchen backsplash reveal has to wait until next week. I have an annoying non-matching outlet plate cover situation to deal with first. Use your imagination.
