Bar Stools ~ Comparison

 Let me begin by saying we sat once in 6 years, in the bar stools we had. So to say these are Just For Looks, would be a major understatement.   

  I was looking this morning at some to replace the others - just so that space wouldnt be completely empty, until such time as I decide if I want cabinets installed in that space.   Or maybe a cabinet on each end and the 2 bar stools inbetween.   I'll have to look through some kitchen design sites to figure this out..

 For now though- its bar stools.

 I went first to Pottery Barn- found ones that would work and wouldnt conflict with my slightly frenchie breakfast room set,,, havent shown ya'll that yet- but I will:)  They are a bit more than I wanted to pay , just for something to basically look at..  so I went to WayFair and low and behold , the same bar stools.
 oh my monitor the rush on the seats might be a bit lighter but a few flicks with a very dry brushing of stain would fix that, if it bothered me..

 Pottery Barn 129.00 - 18.00 shipping
 WayFair          49.00 - free shipping ::: Market Place is the same site..

Both had 5 star ratings from the customers who made purchases.
 I bet you can guess which ones I choose.. 
here they are side by side..  expected delivery 7 days.
AND they only weigh 8lbs each so when vacumming I can pick it up with one hand- vacumm - plop it back down..  yeaaaaaaaaaaaa 
 I dont know about ya'll but with my back I have to think about the weight of every item I have to move so I can do a proper cleaning every week. Its the little things I am finding more and more important or maybe I'm just getting Lazy and need to admit it..

 Thanks for stopping by to take a peek..  I'll let you know if I give them 5 stars once they're here.

Happy Friday

Dont let the Ugly pic Scare You

 I dont tell much of my private stuff so I wont go into detail about this past year except to tell you that I have been Extremely Blessed and Miracles have occured..  I thought a lot about how to show my gratitude and came up with a few different ways..  Saying how grateful one is , thats fine , but for me , it takes Action too..

 I was in the process of cleaning out some things- showed ya'll that pic - but I'll refresh your memory with that ugly pic...   actually the photo I'm showing is about 1/5th of what I gave away..  I choose a charity that I know helps folks -- FOR FREE.. I didnt want to donate and have them make a big profit and Believe me, before this donate was done, they would have.

 I thought about listing things on craigslist - cause gee who couldnt use an extra 500.00 or maybe lots more.
 Then I rethought my blessings and miracles and  nah, no selling, just giving and then giving some more..

 Monday was one of the happiest days I've had in many years..

here's a list of why is was so happy and what I GAVE in Gratitude.
Its my great wish that those who receive it will SMILE and it will make their lives Better..

BHG Kitchens LOVE LOVE

 I'm not remodeling my kitchen-- right now anyway but OH BABY, if I was..

Looking through this samples from Better Homes and Gardens makes me want to move faster on my entry wall-  living room and family room so I can rest a little and start thinking and plotting a little redo on my kitchen..

 Some of the elements in each of these make my heart go Pitter Pattter..

ok - back to work for me..
thanks for visiting, it means more than I can tell ya..

I'll post the Parties I'm gonna play in later this evening.. Hope to see ya'll there.

 over the moon in LOVE with this idea~!!

 I have a empty wall SCREAMING for open shelving like this and lots of ironstone to put on it.. 

 In my dreams- these are my new bar fixtures... yes indeedy , I deserve those for being such a good girl.. Right Santa??  Right:)
