Thought I would help bump this so others chime in - Pottery Barn has some gorgeous leather counter stools in their catalog this month - brown legs but the leather is also brown (no white) -

Design within Reach has some gorgeous white leather counter stools with stainless legs (at dwr.com, the chair is called the Antica - they are $$$ but look sleek and comfy - which is hard to find!)

good luck - hopefully others have some ideas!

Thanks Laurain,

The Pottery Barn stools seem too big for my kitchen but I will have to take a second look. As for the Antica, I was looking for something with a little more back support. Mom - who visits often - has parkinsons. I wanted her to feel comfortable in my kitchen.

I loved both stools, though!

THANKS

Personally, I think the black legs will look just fine with your cabinets colors. Isn't black supposed to be a neutral?

These stools are not in that shape, but have you looked at:

Room and Board's

Ansel Leather stool with cherry legs available in cream and other leather.

Madrid all leather stools available in several colors.

Houseful - I decided to take your advice. I ordered the stool with the black legs. There was only one left, so I need to find one more. Ouch! What a risk to to take. But I'm optimistic.

Palimpsest, I love the sites you recommended, thanks.

If anyone out there knows where I can find the stool pictured at the beginning of this post, please, please let me know. I'm hoping overstock will restock them.

Almost finished!
