Please don't get rid of the bar stools. Just make some comfy cushions :-) Ya know you can do it Virginia :-) Easiest way (read--cheapest way..hah!) to do this is to buy a standard bed pillow, open it up to use the stuffing in two new-sized cushions you make out of your desired fabric to fit your bar stool seats. Bed pillows (like from Walmart) are about $6...waaaaaay cheaper than buying a pillow form that's usually a bit too fluffy for a seat cushion, and often not quite the right size. Have I got ya thinkin' of yet another DIY? :-) Love your kitchen!

I was hoping you could help me out on a cabinet question. Our cabinets had been painted white before we moved in, but they looked awful. I spent probably a month lovingly sanding them and then priming, brushing, and rolling them... and they still look like crap. (Cleaner, but still awful.) I don't remember if I used any sort of gloss when I painted them, but they are impossible to clean and despite using those expensive foam rollers, they're still textured and collect dirt like crazy. In my perfect world I take a sledge hammer to the entire kitchen, but we don't plan on spending much more time in this house and have already spent way too much money on it. Do you think I should repaint the cabinets with a glossier paint? Or use some type of finish? I am really at a loss here.Lauren @ Another mom another blog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16654266835585358830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-46725074295586528122013-07-16T14:31:24.083-04:002013-07-16T14:31:24.083-04:00Totes love your style, as always.
