Back before I taught middle school and high school I was very mature. Now, not so much. Now I'm at the point where I think naming a post, "Stools," is just downright, laugh-out-loud funny. Because, of course, I'm not talking about THAT kind of stools, but KITCHEN stools.
Here are mine (the kitchen kind, not the other):
They are from our rustic phase. Maybe we were still in full-on ranch mode, but our lives were not going to be complete without these stools in them. They were not cheap, we thought we had to have them, and now we've had them for a good eight to ten years. They have fallen over and gouged divots in the pine wood floor. One chirps like a bird when sat on in a certain way and its impression is so good that I have actually looked around expecting to see some sort of feathered creature in the house.
I honestly don't care if you even look at the stools in the above pictures, but will you PLEASE check out how clean my counters look? And do it quickly!
They won't stay that way.
Although I am stuck happy with the stools we have, you, my friend, have options. And what cool and interesting options there are out there:
Meet George Jetson!
I would probably get tired of this stool, (if you haven't noticed, it's a little green) but not until I had dropped my tush into that cushy seat a few thousand times. Doesn't this look comfy? And green?
This stool, for some reason, reminds me of this painting by Picasso:
No? Anyone see a resemblance? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I love this modern stool. I think it's the exact opposite of what we have now.
I like you. I really do. So please believe me when I tell you in no uncertain terms, "NO." There is nowhere in the known universe where it is okay to have this stool in your home. I'm telling you this for your own good. Even though this stool also reminds me of this:
Anyone with me here? Anyone? Anyone?
Kind of Asian, simple, like the pi sign. I like it. The stool, not the pi sign. Not that I have anything against pi. Except that it goes on for infinity, which I find slightly annoying.
Hell, no! Ha. I kill myself.
No comment. Really.
Very cool. Especially if you've fallen off the stool and are looking at it from the ground. Which could happen, people. And this stool can apparently function as a table as well. Good to know.
I love how this stool looks, especially up against the counter in this picture. This is made of genuine hair hide. They are $1050. Each. What is hair hide? It sounds like maybe I don't want to know.
We will sit on this stool (well, we'll each have our own stool, we won't both sit on one) when you come visit me at my Spanish hacienda. Because this stool is, in my opinion, very hacienda-y.
Can you find anything offensive to say about these stools? It would be like saying something bad about your grandma. Or Barbara Bush.
Same with this stool. If you needed to buy a stool for someone, this might be it. Because how many times have you been in that predicament, you know, where you need to buy someone a stool but don't want to foist your own design opinion on someone else? This would be the stool that would not offend.
So there you have it. Stools for every taste and occasion. A little art lesson. A little movie reference. Political intrigue. Potty talk. Math. Oblique comments about old cartoons that leave you humming the theme song in your head for the rest of the day.
Your day is complete. Glad I could help.
