Bar Stool Makeover

Although I've painted and upholstered countless pieces of furniture over the years, I'm always amazed at the results after a little paint and some new fabric.

I've been wanting new bar stools for a while. After we finished remodeling the kitchen two years ago I bought some inexpensive stools online. They were okay, but not very comfortable and when our grand children came to visit I was always nervous having them sit on backless stools. Here's a peek of the old stools...

This summer our local Habitat Restore opened and while looking around I spotted these stools for $40 a piece!

They were in perfect shape and super comfortable compared to what I already had. I brought them home in June and last week I finally got around to painting and recovering the seats.

They really changed the look of the kitchen too!

I found one yard of fabric on the clearance table at Calico Corners which was just enough to cover all three stools.

So much better!
