our kitchen is complete. finally! we have barstools! i can tell you are all excited about that. turns out goodwill had a set of 3 just waiting for us. and they were $9 each. MUCH cheaper than the other options we were looking at. and that was the only cost of this project.
you see they started out as a reddish wood with black fabric colors. not exactly anything that matches our current kitchen. but nothing a little paint and some new fabric couldnt change. and that stuff was free. cuz we already had it. we have plenty of white paint and some leftover fabric from that kitchen curtain i made awhile back.
not too shabby right?
