Well, I think it’s a very warm, inviting, and nice-looking kitchen with a lot of character. I’d be proud of it. :)

A few questions for better suggestions:

How many stools?

Budget?

With backs or not?

I’m guessing leather or wood seats, no fabric again?

Thank you! We do love that it has a different character than everything white. I think because of current trends I can’t see how to work with the colors as easily. But as I said, with kids I’m not even worrying too much. They’re lovely little tornadoes!

Ideally I’d love 4 stools but think it might be a tight fit. And since we have kids, I don’t want to go too expensive or fabric. Ideally a back of some sort.

You picked a good time to look — lots of great sales right now!

Just to get a feel for your likes/dislikes ….

What do you think about red?

I’m not sure how you feel about introducing chrome, but I like the mix of sleek and traditional with these. They’re fun:

I like this mix of wood and leather:

I like the gray best in this style:

I think the red is why I want to move away from. Generally, I like more neutral and the. We bought this home a few years ago and I’m stuck because I don’t want to commit too much knowing my kids will put some quick wear and tear on things.
