I love how open your kitchen is because of the flat island. I'm not sure I would want a stool with a back there to break up that open counter line. Maybe a saddle seat stool like this one? (see link) Or, do you want to do a color pop? I can't tell if this "Estonia Blue" would work well with your kitchen wall color: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Estonia-Parson-Sky-Blue-Barstools-Set-of-2/5171778/product.html Here is a link that might be useful: barstool at Overstock

We have lots of kitchen counter stools. Is there a particular style you're after?

That's what I thought also. Paint what you have and see how it looks. Just my opinion, but you have too many chairs at the counter. Try painting 3 and see how it looks with the table and chairs. If and when you do buy new ones, get stools, not chairs, they take up less room. Bring some teal/blue accessories into the kitchen to tie in with living room.
