Hello, we aren't sure of the exact stools used but we recommend theMetal counter stool by Homesquare for a similar product.

Please share about the shiplap used - esp behind the stove. I have read that some homeowners use Hardie Planks since it is a cement material and heat resistant, but what about the paint ? I would love to use shiplap in my kitchen like this but cannot find enough info.

We are not sure of the exact materials used on these walls. For the safest option we recommend talking to a local contractor or remodeler.

thank you for responding
