Counter stool color...link inside

10 years ago

I've been looking for a stool to use in the kitchen to sit at the end of the counter, or to use in the LR. I love this one from World Market. Link below

It says "Cranberrry" but it looks colonial red to me. I don't see any pink which I see in cranberries. lol.

I'm thinking about using it as a plant stand in the LR, but if it has an obvious pink undertone I don't want it.

What color do you see? BTW, if you all know of other online stores which sell similar painted stools, let me know.

Here is a link that might be useful: Counter Stool

Well, on my iPad it does look like a pinky-red to me...

XP: Counter inside walk-in pantry?
Q
Comments (13)
My pantry is a walk-thru space that also serves as my mudroom. At just 8x10, it's pretty small but still functional since it is just DH and me. (If I had kids I think I'd want it to be twice as big at least.) I do have a counter top (6.5 ft long by 24" deep) along of the 10' walls and I love it...except that I do have to make a real effort to keep it cleared off. EVERYTHING lands on that countertop... mail that needs to go in/out, my husband's tools when he is too lazy to carry them on out to the garage, anything we want to remember to take with us when we leave the next morning, our cell phone chargers, my purse, etc. But having it all land there means it doesn't wind up landing on the counters in my kitchen or on the breakfast nook table so I'm happy. LOL! And, except when I let too much other junk pile up, the pantry counter is a perfect place to set down bags of groceries because my upright freezer is immediately across the aisle and above the counter I have 12 inch deep cabinets (with doors) with moveable shelves where I store most of my groceries (I just wish I'd made the the upper pantry cabinets 15" deep like the ones in my kitchen because occasionally something that I'd like to be able to store in the pantry won't quite fit.) Underneath the counter top, I store things like the recycle bins, cases of soda and water, extra paper towels, seldom used appliances, etc.

Swivel bar stools with backs hitting the counter
Q

Jenna: Ah, kicking the back of the bar, yet another problem. We have lots of kick marks that my DH and I are guilty of. Can't totally blame the young'uns Good idea about the foot rail. Val and Grandma: Our stools are a beautiful cherry which complicates things. Just about any color would be obvious...... The clear bumpers might be the best choice. I was thinking that running a removable strand of foam with a tape backing along the back edge of the dark counter (just for when all of the kids/grandkids total of 14 people!) are here. Take it off when they leave, would not be obvious from the kitchen side. They all live long distances from us and we only see them in our home twice a year. I don't want to be constantly reminding the kids not to do this and that or be careful of this and that. Some are more careful than others but kids are kids!

Wood countertop island overhang
Q
Comments (11)
The island appears to be a foot inside the entry into the FR. Reducing the size is warranted, but more important is the seating on the stove side. It is likely this will impact flow. Is this 39"? There are several options to support the walnut top. A single leg centered, two legs on each side of the cabs that extend out (see pic), two legs at end if counter or supports that are not visible unless looking from below counter. The latter is common with granite tops. You stated there is not a need for support per the company and your physicist FIL. Have you seen any if the tops made by this company? Mine certainly flexed without support, but it also ran parallel to the cabs. We have 4 grand kids 3 and under and I knew they would climb up to the counter from the stools.

Can I make this a seated counter top ? New Construction question
Q
Comments (24)
In the first plan, I do like the closet placement in the master, but both bedrooms limit furniture placement. The Second plan makes furniture placement more flexible. It is unfortunate that as you walk in from the front door, you see the kItchen before anything else; at least the first plan leads you through the labyrinth to a view out the windows. And in the second, entering from the garage forces you to walk around to the bedrooms. If you could combine the half-bath and full-bath, you could have the laundry also be a walk-through to the bedrooms (and I just love having circulation opportunities in a house).

Oak, I've looked at the image on 2 monitors. Both show a pink undertone to me. But, if the style and price work, would you consider covering the stained wooden seat with plastic to protect it and spray painting the rest in a color closer to what you want?

Also, there seems to be a slight 'sway' to the seat, which would make it more comfortable to sit on, but may not hold a plant pot without a slight rocking of it. I could be wrong on that, but you'd probably want to call and ask.

On my ipad, I'd call that color raspberry not cranberry, so yes, I definitely see pink in it.

That's a cute stool. For that price, I would spray paint it the color red you want.

We're all seeing different colors! For the price and cuteness of it, it sure wouldn't hurt to order it. Just the style I've been looking for. I already have bar stools so this one will primarily be for looks, or for the grands.

It looks to be raspberry pink on my monitor. It is a really cute stool!

Really cute stool. On my monitor it looks to be more of a cherry red, not much pink, but only in person will you know. Could depend on the paint batch they use for your particular stool, too, which will determine the actual color you get.

Ordered! I've been on a mission to find the perfect stool for months, and this is right up my decor alley. :)

I'm glad you bought it! That's a really nice looking stool. I see a pink undertone too. If it's not the right red I agree to paint.

Please post some photos when you get it!

Thank you Shee. I think it will go with the accent colors I'm adding to my living room. If it's the hint of pink I think I'm seeing it will blend in.
