High boys.... give em a leg up!

The holidays are upon us, & as my kitchen remodel has begun, stopped & is beginning to breathe new life into our home again. The search for the perfect bar stools is underway. I want a relaxed feel, a bit of age, some industrial thrown in, & topped off with a little country french!

I found some Pierre Deux stools on the web but at $1200 a piece I think I will keep looking. I have put some different looks together below; have a look there are so many different ways to get a leg up!


The x back beauties are nice and sport a rich fruit wood stain.





How about some ghostly Louis chairs?? See thru & spacious to the size of the room.

Nice...... a mix of wood & steel, topped off with a buttery seat of "leathar" ........


Nice, sleek & polished....... but what about kids & dogs?



This is different, a love seat type of bar stool! In a white with dark legs, luv the green pantry in the background.




How about a little bamboo??? It coordinates nicely with the hand painted island.





This is a favorite, I am also painting cabinets, but this is another story...... cream or dark ????
Whatever will I do???






Like the mix of these wood on stone & some wrought iron.







These are also nice. Slip covered bar stools, great for the kiddos & the dogs paws!


Have a favorite or a resource for the best bar stool??? All ideas are being entertained, the search is on!!

I think I have zoned in on DWR precision adjustable with backs. I, too, like the industrial. I like the backs (for years have used stools that could slide under table), but as we have gotten older, I think backs are in order. I like the adjustable part. My husband is a foot taller than I am.

I've seen some beauties on the Renovation Hardware site Leslie. Of course that's of no consequence to me as they won't ship Down Under, but it may be worth a look for you. Thanks for your kind message, I'm a real grump at the moment having had my 'wings' severely clipped!

Great blog, Leslie. Love your artistic eye.

Call me obsessive or easily distracted (guilty as charged,) but I've been wondering why you call your blog La Maison Fou and not La Maison Folle?

Maybe those many years of French classes are getting foggy in my old brain.... but I do believe that "La Maison Folle" would be correct French. That's because "maison" and "fou" don't agree (one is the fem. and one is the mas.).

I'd hate for you to be like those chumps who get the Chinese symbols tattooed on their back, only to find out it's not correct Chinese! ;) ((wink wink))
