I had high hopes of finishing a project from this list while watching the Lost season premiere last night but . . . that didn’t happen.  Shocking, I know!

So, instead of a little DIY project I thought I’d share with you some of the bar stools I’ve been lusting after for my future kitchen.

Move me right on into this one.  A bubble chandelier and limed, exposed brick?  Yes please!!  The industrial LEM precision stools are the perfect touch, in my opinion.

I also love them in this cottage-inspired kitchen with their little slipcovers – and you’ve gotta love those painted, striped floors and schoolhouse light fixtures.

Even though these chrome and black leather stools may be just a little too modern for my own kitchen, I do love them – don’t you?

I love everything about this kitchen, and the understated Emeco aluminum bar stools are the perfect touch.

The little pop of green added to these Bertoia wire mesh bar stools adds so much life to this space and plays off the trees through the window.  Yummy!!

And these lucite bar stools had me at hello – aren’t they so elegant?

If you’d like to add some similar bar stools to your space, you might want to check out these fab options that I dug up on Overstock (just click on the images to be taken to the source):

Could you see any of them in your kitchen?  I’ve always wondered if a backless bar stool would drive me crazy – do any of you have backless bar stools and, if so, have you been driven batty?  I hope not, I think I’d like to give it a whirl in my next kitchen!
