If we had the money to go with Essastone, that was our number one choice. Do the stools have a seat pad or a cushion on them at all? I would have said go a bit darker brown than the new sable luxe, and then a greenish cushion to match your feature wall. Are you having a feature kitchen colour? Eg. coloured tea towels or appliances? Hi Ally, good to see you here! No, the stools are moulded, they have aluminium type frame so aren't even all pine. I think you might have seen the type with moulded backrest as well? Ugh. Yes, when you said darker brown that's what I was thinking of- antique finish (Ingolf) Ikea bar stool. I could post a pic but it's a tiny icon so not much help... No, I'm keeping the kitchen pretty neutral except for green tea towels from Target, the bright green. Also I have my rooster tile! I LOVE it! It's handpainted, looks a bit washed out on monitor because the roosters are shiny, not the background. It's the only feature on white tile splashback, and will have an ivory twist border: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My appliances are all SS except for my microwave which will be hidden away in appliance cupboard (it's white.) I like white appliances as well as SS but since we are going to move again we bought SS a year ago when our nearly 30 yrs double door frost free finally died, the dealer said SS travelled better (chips are more noticeable with white). PS don't know if we can afford Essastone either...fingers crossed Re: Help me choose paint colour for horrible barstools pleas 6Aug 15, 2012 2:56 pm Ahhh. Even if essastone is out of the budget, the DG Laminex Stipple Seal is amazing too We have it in our bathrooms and it looks fantastic with the peruvian clay as well! Re: Help me choose paint colour for horrible barstools pleas 7Aug 16, 2012 11:00 pm Yes I admired them, it is a really lovely colour and I love the gloss finish... So if no essastone I will "make do" with Stipple seal Re: Help me choose paint colour for horrible barstools pleas 8Aug 22, 2012 5:23 pm Treeseachanger Can't believe you posted the link to the Ikea barstools I originally envisaged buying for my kitchen!! I was going to get them in the natural wood finish though. That is my dilemma- to blend or to feature? That is the question!! White is safe. But if darker, which colour? What if you used the chicken tile as inspiration for your paint colour for the bar stools.? You could go the darker feather colour, it looks sludgy green on screen (beautiful). Just a thought but I'm no interior decorator. I'm in the process of decorating my house. Very exciting . No worries mate. I am currently looking into replacing the windows entirely for 2x or 3x glazing as well as new front doors. I sadly have no other choice due the window… 2 3649 Thankyou so much ๐ I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK ๐ 2 7574 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3604 |
