Choosing A Bar Stool

Howdy! Many of my readers are interested in purchasing bar stools. I frequently get asked what criterion should be used when selecting a bar stool. So hopefully this info will help....

Many home bar owners actually feel as if the selection of barstools is more important than the selection of the bar itself. Needless to say, the proper selection of each is critical to the look and feel of your chosen room. Luckily, there are probably as many bar stools as there are themes. One should always match the bar stools with the theme of the home bar.
If, for example, the theme of your bar is that of a piano bar, more on bar stools here

Before we go into how to prepare for your Tiki Bar party, I would like to make a couple of suggestions. First, an outdoor bar party is always more fun around a swimming pool. Luckily, most Tiki Bar owners also own swimming pools. Secondly, because these parties take so much preparation, they are often reserved for special summer events. Events such as your child's graduation, or a family reunion are often appropriate for Tiki Bar parties.
These parties are always For more on this fun party idea
