Back before I went to the CIL conference at the end of March, I ordered two counter stools (lower than bar stools @ 24") from GoodWood unfinished furniture. They came in this week and I picked them up today. I love being able to choose styles and finishes and, although the price was about the same as in a furniture store, I didn't have to drive all over town to look!
The backs are slats (a la craftsman) and the frames are ebony with seats in natural oak (as light as I could get them and just a tad darker than the cabinets). They look really good with the counters and the floors - there are black flecks in the counter - and best of all they're comfortable! We were actually able to eat at the counter - no balancing on our laps - of course the TV is behind us but you can't have everything.
VERY gradually things are coming together - have to find some more side tables - brought the old sofa table back but it's serving more as a console table now - with a nice tray for mail (if we can only remember to put it there!) and the lamp that the switch controls. Need to bring the phone w/answering machine down from the bedroom. I'm hoping tomorrow to get into the dining room and make it look more like a dining room and less like a junk room after a tornado came through! (The living room has to wait until we decide what to do with the old 36" TV.)
