I received this idea in my inbox and had to share. Amy bought these “leatherette” bar stools in white from Overstock (less than $170 for a pair!) and stenciled a great design on them, using paint especially made for leather.
Here’s how they turned out:
Her whole kitchen is fantastic! I love that gray secretary in the nook.
You can find all of the details for this project on Amy’s blog, The Casablanca Transformation.
Brilliant idea! painting on the faux leather is a wonderful way to make them custom and luxe. Love it!

Those chairs turned out AMAZING! Even at such a good deal, I would have been afraid to paint them. Kudos to her for taking a risk that real paid off. Thanks for sharing!
I really can not believe those are painted! Really looks good and I love that gray secretary in there! Thanks for sharing this post.
WOW! Those chairs are gorgeous! Such a huge transformation—and it is hard to believe that it is paint. Gorgeous.
Wow!! What a great idea and inexpensive update! Her kitchen is really pretty. Now I’ve got my kitchen stools on my mind for how I can revamp them.
Wow, her bar stools look fantastic! And her kitchen is beautiful, too! Love these!

AMAZING!!! It really is! I’m a huge fan of leather for stools because they’re so easy to clean, but they can also be boring. She changed that!
I hope everything is great with you, my friend.

Wow! This is fabulous. Her stools *make* that kitchen sing!! Thanks for sharing!
AMAZING! Great idea!
Amazing!!! I’m in the market for new barstools, and this idea just allows for endless options!
That little touch of mustard just makes those chairs, right? I would never think to do something like that, much less actually do it. Gorgeous kitchen, great share!
I love her kitchen, but I feel like that pattern is going to look very dated very soon. (I know it’s a “timeless” pattern, but it looks a little 80s there. Maybe it’s the yellow.) Otherwise, everything is beautiful!
My gosh, they came out great! What a transformation.
Wow! What a transformation. I love the color and pattern!
Thanks for the feature Emily – All your readers are so kind too!

People continue to amaze me in the blogosphere! The chairs looks awesome and you’re right killer secretary!!
Wow, and wow! AND…gorgeous kitchen! Janell
So creative! She did a fabulous job with the paint and stencil, they are gorgeous.
Oh, I could just kiss you for posting this great idea. I’ve been struggling with what to do with my leather bar stools because they’re too good to get rid of but they need a new life. Brilliant!!
Brilliant and Stunning!! I absolutely love these!
They look stunning!!
Loving the arched doorways too! What a great alternative to cloth but still getting in a pattern. Smart.
SO FUN!! I love the barstools;) creative and new!!
Thank you for this great information on hospitality …That was my best days when I had spent my days on Restaurant Byron Bay
