| - Ever since moving in to my apartment, I've been slowly (I mean, sloooooooowwwllyy) accumulating furniture and accessories to finish off my home. One of the last pieces was a set of bar stools to tie up my dining area. Already I knew I wanted something lightweight and wooden, and have been eying the exact ones at Target hoping for the price to come down, as well as visiting my neighborhood consignment shop. Alas, no luck on either front. Then I came about an advertisement for Desert Liquidators in an insert of the New Times. My weekend was planned.
DL is a mammoth warehouse and as previously pointed out has ample amounts of remodeling supplies. Some were so gorgeous I considered buy them just to have as art. And the marble soaking tub would have looked fabulous on my balcony. But wasn't why I came here. Upon entering, we immediately spot some retro styled bar stools. Not what I was looking for at all, but nonetheless a good looking pair of chairs. After working our way through the entire warehouse, we discovered the only other bar stools were boring as all get out, so we went back to the front to price the funky stools. At $49 each, it seemed very reasonable (this is essentially the same price Target wanted for a wooden stool) and honestly the metal alone is probably worth the cost.
I found the dopest swivel bar stools here this weekend. The two weigh as much as I do, which make moving them into my upstairs apartment a bit of a pain, but once I polished the brass bases up, it was well worth the effort. But now I have a place to pull up to the bar with a guest, eat, drink and be merry.
