the bar stools, finally.

welp, i am a little behind on posting these pictures, but hopefully you will be able to let it slide. see, life has significantly picked up over the past few weeks {educating middle schoolers is quite time consuming}. however, i hope to maintain my level of blogging throughout the school year.

okay, so about those bar stools. our new deluxe apartment in the sky did not have any room for our huge dining room table, so we decided to get bar stools and store the table. but, who knew those things could be so expensive? i looked into everything from walmart to the pottery barn outlet, but nothing for less than$70 a pop. so, i decided to go to goodwill. for $40, i was able to get 3 of these:

they reminded me of the ones my grandparents had in the early 90s. a classic barstool shape, they just needed a little tlc. so i decided to sand them down {thanks to chane's sander}:
prime them, and then paint them a stone color. a nice neutral that went well with the granite in our kitchen. here they are in action:

the paint is walmart's colorplace brand and the color is sycamore grove. i also sealed them after they finished drying with some satin polyurethane. a special shout out to my sweet husband who helped me speed up this process by painting a few coats while i was at work. one project finished, a few more to go...
