Fairly recently I got a stool I have been eyeing for a long time.  It is made from reclaimed teak wood and each is unique.  This one hadn’t sold because it has a natural small split right in the middle of the base.  They even gave me 20 percent off!  I really liked it and thought it had character.  After bringing it home I was thrilled to see it was a perfect height for our kitchen “bar”/counter area.  And I could not believe my husband would wind up loving it for when he reads the paper and has coffee in the mornings.  Our little one climbs up to have her after school snacks there.  It is so nice to have my sweet family in the kitchen now talking to me while I’m cooking!  The stool is seriously the most comfortable seat in the house!  I had no idea when I got it how well it would be used.  American actor Milo Ventimiglia said:

“I’m a homebody, I’d rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.”

I am the same way.  Only now I have my own little place where my two favorite people in the world can come to hang out, talk, eat, and belly up to the bar.
