Spring is in full swing and here come all the decor updates to follow. 

For me, I've been dying to makeover my kitchen and dining area with new barstools since we moved in. The old yellow ones from our previous apartment were way too short and honestly a little dated so I've spent the last year trying to figure out what I REALLY wanted to glam up the area with. Initially I wanted cognac leather stools but quickly changed my mind after I discovered these  Sigfred Velvet Emerald Barstools from InMod (gifted). 

Because, LOOK AT THEM! They're stunning and aside from being perfect for the space (height and style wise) - they're already hard at work hiding stains from the kid's accidents. Over Easter weekend Indy dumped a bowl of red dye and you wouldn't even be able to tell it got on the barstools (the counter and walls below was a different story). 

Plus, it was a quick and easy glow up to the space. There's a completely different vibe in here now and it feels way more cohesive. I love how the rattan, deep walnut and velvet just pops so perfectly against the pink.

-After-
They also come in Counter Sized 23.5" (our bar is oddly high and barstools were necessary)

- Pros - 
Easy to assemble (the kids did it)
Surprisingly super comfortable (they're very padded and ergonomically shaped) 
Easy to clean  
Affordable ($80 each) 
Very soft 
Come in gorgeous hues - the green is even prettier in person. 

- Cons -
I wish I had more counter space for more. 

Aside from that I think if I really had to be forced to find a con it would be about the step bar being slightly uncomfortable on your bare feet. It's fine to rest your feet on them but if you need to stand up to reach for something on them it's not the most exciting feeling on your foot (but what do you expect from a putting your body weight metal bar?). <--- that's from DZ who hates sitting on barstools but loves these and thinks "they're basically perfect". 

Now that we have the perfect stools for the space I can finally dive into the backsplash (yes, again) and window treatments for the window.
