Bar stools!

We've been in our house now for five and a half years. Over the course of those five and a half years, we've half-heartedly attempted to find some bar stools for our kitchen that a) we both liked, b) were sturdy enough to hold people, c) went with our funky decor, and d) weren't horribly expensive. We never had much luck. I finally decided about a month and a half ago that I'd had enough of searching, and that there had to be a bar stool out there somewhere that met our needs. I scoured the internet and came up with about forty that I liked, which we eventually narrowed down to one. We had no idea if it would be comfortable or sturdy, but after successfully living without bar stools for so long, we decided that it probably didn't matter, as they really weren't necessary for our survival.

We ended up ordering four stools about a month ago, and they finally arrived this week. We assembled them and were pleased to discover that they were both comfortable and sturdy, and that they went reasonably well with the rest of our great room. Now we just need to have someone over to watch us cook so they can be useful for something other than terrorizing Errol.
