A Little HGTV

Last week we finally found an apartment at a good price WITH a dishwasher. We weren't able to move in right away so Eric and I decided to shop for furnishings and whatnot. Who knew that the most plain bar stools you could possibly get cost $15 a piece!? We decided to look at garage sales for cheaper stools.

After going to many houses and almost giving up on the search, we came to our last house and found these stools. Eric and I have been watching a TON of HGTV lately, so we thought it would be fun to do a little project and fix up the stools. They were only $1 per stool!

BEFORE:

First we took the seat off.

I pulled off the seat covers so we could replace them with something that wasn't ripped and looked cuter.

Eric spray painted the bottom red to go with our red, black, and white theme.

He did an excellent paint job! It's not as easy as it looks to make the paint even.

We forgot to take picture of us reupholstering the stools...but wah lah! All done.

AFTER:

They look great in our apartment. We'll post pictures of the apartment later. Moving in is taking FOREVER because we have soooo much stuff.
