Modern stools

Before we moved into this house 2 years ago, I was torn between decorating styles.  Do I decorate traditionally or more modern?  I asked myself that time after time as we were picking out fixtures, flooring, cabinets, etc.  I went with the traditional route…until we moved in, and then I decided modern was more me.  At that point, it was too late to change anything existing, so we're stuck with half and half.

Our barstools are very traditional and I often find myself drooling over what I wish I would've picked.  Crate and Barrel has so many great styles to choose from right now.

  1. I chuckled when I read that you were torn between two styles for your house. I am the same way! And like you, I kinda lean toward modern. Enjoy reading your blog!

  3. I love the vienna stools! I'm still trying to figure out my style, but I love that mixing and matching is so popular now.

    I have the same mixed style in my house. I think it looks great to mix, as long as there is a bit of a balance between styles.

  5. I think sometimes a good mix of styles creates a more unique and interesting place in the end! Hope you can find that balance.
