Staged...!..hot milk, honey, nutmeg....etc...quiet time..! Lots of wood to burn...grows, and dies, on trees...!! Requires chainsaws, vehicles, trailers, fuel, sharpeners, gloves, sweat, thermos, levels of language....lucky we're isolated!

Thanks siriuskey. I was worried that I would get something too off the rest of the style. I have an interior designer helping me but I have blown my budget already so used her advice for all the other furnishing and artwork. This website is amazing! For someone like me, who has no clue, is a life saver!!!

I think getting the perfect bar stool is the hardest thing to do. If you can’t find anything local, look overseas or you might be able to get a craftsman to make them for you.. beautiful kitchen. A few inspiration photos that you may be able to source or similar made here. Jade stool by Crea. The Delaney stool from Maiden Home. Mylo counter stool from Wayfair or something similar to the Mogens Lassen stool.

First time builder, your home is looking fantastic. Well done to you and the builder. In my opinion, I would have black bar stools. Wood, not metal. Low or no back, not a high back. Your staircase is beautiful, so I would use that as a guide. Wood, not metal. But black wood, not a stained timber, it would clash with your wonderful floors. Also, The black will compliment your fittings in the kitchen.
