Simple Sundays . . .

Sundays are a simple day for us around here so I thought I would share one of my recent "simple" projects! Which loosely translate to: I did it in one night and did NOT have to do any re-dos or tantrums!!

This is a shot of our kitchen when we were painting and before we moved in so excuse the disaster in the photo!

So here is our bar in the kitchen/dining room! After the first couple weekends in the house and quite a few guest we realized we don't have a lot of seating when it comes time to eat. So we had been thinking that this spot would be perfect for a couple of barstools . . . then we started looking at the prices of barstools! WOW, barstools are pricey!! So barstools went further down the list of "needs!"

Then Mom (Shabby Wendy) found a pub style table on Craigslist with 8 (YES EIGHT!!) barstools for the table! She put 4 around the table and 4 under her bar. And because I was nice enough to drive with her to the other side of town to pick up this deal I got to take the old barstools!

Simple saddle barstools, only problem is my kitchen/dining room is BLACK!! Like that ever stopped me from something that was FREE!!

So did a little sanding and spray painted them black. But I am in love with the black distressed look so I took out my trusty sander and did a couple touches here and there!!

Then finally I put a good coat of gloss and we now have four barstools, and only room for two. But the more the merrier, especially when its free!!

Before & After

Back to relaxing . . . have a happy weekend everyone!
