Basements and Barstools
I know that my husband is just dying to put a bar in our newly remodeled basement. That was a plan he always had since we moved here. Premiere Barstools has so many choices for anyone who is looking for counter stools, extra tall stools, or kitchen bar stools. They have an excellent selection for all of those.
Like I said, I personally am looking to surprise my husband with some bar stools for the basement. Now, I cannot decide if something classic like this:
would work best or if something more pretty would be in store. I found an excellent deal on something like this:
I guess it will probably come down to what kind of bar he decides to build. With having little ones, a lot of extra things come into play. As for the first stool, I would be worried about the stool having no back. Whereas, on the second stool, I would be worried that Will (my one year old) would use this chair as a climbing challenge (Yes, for some reason he has started the climbing stage after he learned to walk!). However, the second chair is about $85 which is a great price for barstools. Plus, whenever we get around to remodeling kitchen, these would look nice there. I have a huge kitchen (I think it is 15 x 15), so at some point we are going to remodel it. We may add in an island, and those stools would look awesome there too! Decision, decisions . . .
Do you have barstools in your house? What kinds did you go with? Did where they were going make a difference to which ones you got? Do you use the barstools as extra seating when company is over? I know, lots of questions, but I have never bought these before!

Additions and basements
While on vacation, we made some big decisions about the house. Bill is pretty sure we can’t afford to go up (that and we don’t want to go into a ton of debt trying to just get the shell and then there isn’t enough cash left over to actually finish the thing). We do need the extra space (Will’s bedroom is only 9×11 without a closet). However, we have an unfinished basement that would really give us the extra space we need. We really just want a toy room and a living room down there. Bill would eventually like a bar and maybe a pool table with some billiards supplies. I wouldn’t mind being able to put our dartboard back up too. I am pretty sure Bill wouldn’t mind if I tell him to put up a game room like that. (My grandma had a pool table in her basement, and as kids, we always played with it. Not that it actually made be a better pool player – lol. She actually still has it too. She also still has a foosball (sp?) table that we enjoy playing with too.) We have almost 600 square feet that we are working with, so we really can do almost anything we want. We have gotten several quotes in the last three years about fixing our leaky basement floor, and I think this year we are going to make this a reality. We are setting up talking to my hubby’s friend Tony about putting a bathroom in the basement first and then calling US Waterproofing to come out and give us an estimate next. My goal is to have a finished basement by Will’s birthday. Now, whether that is really going to happen is another story.
