A Beautiful Idea for Barstools

 

I received this idea in my inbox and had to share.  Amy bought these “leatherette” bar stools in white from Overstock (less than $170 for a pair!) and stenciled a great design on them, using paint especially made for leather.

 

 

 

 

Here’s how they turned out:

 

 

 

Her whole kitchen is fantastic! I love that gray secretary in the nook.

 

 

You can find all of the details for this project on Amy’s blog, The Casablanca Transformation.

  7. AMAZING!!! It really is! I'm a huge fan of leather for stools because they're so easy to clean, but they can also be boring. She changed that!

    I hope everything is great with you, my friend.

  14. That little touch of mustard just makes those chairs, right? I would never think to do something like that, much less actually do it. Gorgeous kitchen, great share!

  15. I love her kitchen, but I feel like that pattern is going to look very dated very soon. (I know it's a "timeless" pattern, but it looks a little 80s there. Maybe it's the yellow.) Otherwise, everything is beautiful!
