The glass pendant lights are repurposed wine jars. In fact, when Neithart received them, one still had a big wine stain on the bottom. "I could not get the wine stain out, so I called Bobo's. They gave me the recipe for a magic potion to soak it in for 48 hours, and it worked," says Neithart. "To me, a Spanish home is a warm home," says Neithart. She certainly made sure to prove it with this beautiful family home.Counter stools: Crate and BarrelMore:10 Favorite Features of Spanish Revival StyleHouzz Tour: An Urban Castle in Pasadena9 Architectural Elements of Spanish Revival Style
Actually I just go by what the homeowner wants, there is no real science. I can offer this however, use a swivel back barstool if you have a great room/family room adjacent to the kitchen. You might want to swivel around to see TV and participate in conversation at the same time. Also, if you have narrow traffic lanes surrounding island, try a backless barstool so you can tuck them under counter. Hope that helps. Charmean Neithart
