Bar stools.. another dream

It's always been a dream of mine to have barstools in my kitchen.. a cozy place to eat my morning cereal, or have a quick snack.
Here is the counterspace where they will go:

After looking at a bunch of stools from Samsclub, Costco, BedBath&Beyond and some local furniture stores, I finally decided on these swivel ones (Hudson stools, BB&B):

What do you think?? I hope they look good. The reason I picked these, and not ones with a wooden frame (as I had wanted before) was because our dinette chairs are similar in style. Here's how our nook looks:

Do you think they match somewhat? Theyre not going to be right next to each other so a little off-coloredness won't matter much hopefully!

I ordered them a few days ago, as soon as they arrive, I'll take a picture so you can see!

Finally - some exterior pictures!

So I finally got some exterior pics of the house! I know it's about time.. Here's the elevation. Notice we don't have a permanent walkway or stairway yet. Those will come in the spring. Along with the driveway and patio/landscaping hopefully.

Another view

Head on..

Partial walk-out basement

Retaining wall of boulders

That's all for now!

Better Pictures!

So I took better pictures with the real camera last night.. And since we're finally unpacked they're a lot nicer than the last ones.. Here's the kitchen.

Laundry Room

Boys room.. Couldn't take a pic of the other kids' room because my son was asleep.. Didn't take a pic of the guest room either since it's just empty for now. We need to buy a set for it before my in-laws come into town.

ALL MOVED IN...

We moved in Thursday!! It was so exciting.. We're about 95% unpacked, thanks to the unending efforts of my mom... I have some pictures but the quality isn't that great.

Our inspection passed.
The sewer was fixed.

The tenants fell through. So we don't have any renters :((((( Hopefully soon!!!

A clean house is a happy house

New pictures for you. The house was cleaned and it looks so much better :-) Here is a picture of the kitchen, completely finished (The fridge is at my brother's house, we haven't brought it to the house yet)

Fireplace mantel was stained.. I love the way it looks with the granite, yay!

Here's the pedestal sink with the faucet I chose for the powder room. What do you think?

The hardwood floors!!! Might be my favorite part of the entire house!

Front door was also stained! Same color from the outside and inside

The temporary walkway/stairs to the front door.. It was dark and I used my phone, sorry for the bad quality:
