New Counter Stools + Kitchen Plans

by Jennifer

Some of you may have noticed the curvy beauties hanging out at the counter in my post this week about converting recessed lights to pendant lights.

Back in December I bought three of the Madeline counter stools from Restoration Hardware when they were on sale.  Unfortunately, I received two counter stools and one rogue kitchen chair and am still waiting on the replacement stool.  I also think we can fit four stools around the counter so I’ll probably be ordering a fourth when they go on sale again.

I love the lines of them, though, and the finish is a really lovely distressed grey tone.  For details on the gorgeous rug you see in the background, I share the source HERE.

I’m not crazy about the finish of the stools against the black cabinets but I think they’ll look so great once the cabinets are painted white.

Which brings me to remaining kitchen plans.  So far, I’ve stained and sealed the butcher block island countertop…

…converted the two recessed lights above the counter to hanging pendant lights…
…and added counter stools to the island.
Next up, the wall you see in the background here is getting opened up, the counter on that side is going to be a marble-esque quartzite, the sink is getting replaced with an apron-front white fireclay sink, and I have a new faucet.  I’m also planning to add some floating white shelves against the side of the cabinetry framing the refrigerator.
The wall is coming down in about a week and a half and I am so excited!
I’ll also be making an oversized black windowpane mirror for the wall against the back of the kitchen.  Hopefully soon after the construction phase is over, I’ll be painting all of the kitchen cabinets white.
So that’s where the plans for the kitchen stand right now.  I can’t wait to really get things moving in the next few weeks!

    Love your style! I’m looking to buy these stools soon. How have they held up?

      Unfortunately, they really didn’t. RH took them back after a year and a half and I replaced with something sturdier – three of the five stools had collapsed seats. A friend mentioned that seat cushions might have helped but I can’t speak from experience on that and based on my time with them, I wouldn’t recommend from a durability standpoint.

        Ugh sorry to hear that! At least they took them back. Was it just the cane seat that gave way or did the legs give out too? I really love these stools and am having such a hard time finding anything else. I wonder if I got them with the fabric, leather or added the cushion like you said, if it would help. Thanks I really appreciate your feedback!

          The bodies of the stools were great! Just the seats that I had issues with. So one of the solid seats would probably be a safer bet. I loved the look of them :)
