New craft project

Everytime we have family over, for dinner (Christmas, Thanksgiving, summertime, etc.), there are never enough places to sit, especially for the little ones.  Now that the little ones are too big for high chairs or laps, I decided to get some more bar stools, and found three off of Craigslist.  They are shorter than the regular-sized barstool, and would be a perfect size for the little kids.  I'm only sorry there were only three, but they're from IKEA, and I love IKEA products. Anyway,  Bill and I drove over to Ivins this morning and picked these up, sight unseen, except in a photo on Craigslist.  They were a bit scratched and I didn't like the top, so I bought some black spraypaint, foam rubber, and some fabric.  Here's the results.  I'm pretty happy with the outcome, now we just need everyone to get here!

I went with the chili pepper fabric, since we have both grandsons and granddaughters.  This way, there's no fighting over who gets which one.
