Our first piece..

Despite we have not move into our place yet, we can't help but browse online for potential furnitures. I stumbled onto this web site called Design Sponge. It got a lot of great ideas of turning old/used pieces into new gems, and provides many links to where others get their furnitures. I quickly went on Craigslist and several stores web site where they look to be promising.

Low and behold we came upon a bar stool we love in the SALE section at DWR. Everything is perfect, other than the color. I tried to search high and low for any other store that may sell them (you have no idea how many stools we have already looked at). Nothing within reach, the only other place is in Denmark and England. I have pretty much given up hopes until Mike thought of the ingenious idea of getting it re-paint locally. As I last check their inventory, they only got 7 left in their warehouse. So I quickly called around for prices on powder coating. It turns out to be quite reasonable. This mean, we can have it any color we want! Even better! I relay the information back to Mike and we decided to proceed with the stools. And now, we are the official owner of the Hee stools!!
