I never would have thought to slipcover these type of chairs, but it's a great idea! I kind of think they would look cool all the way to the floor. Good luck!

Those are a FAB temporary solution...could they be a permanent option?

If not, since the stools look like they have gorgeous stained legs, I say 'rara skirt' (google images if you're not sure what I mean!)

Rumpled slip covers with 2 layers (or even 3 if you can!) of 'frill' like the one on the right in your inspiration pics!

Your kitchen is so beautiful!

Great solution ... I would probably velcro the edges under the seat to get a tighter look.

this may sound random, but what if you de-clawed the cats? Then you could purchase the chairs at a discounted price. I haven't ever owned a cat before because i'm allergic so I really don't know anything about cats and de-clawing lol. I also love the short and wrinkled slipcovers just as much as I like the chairs without any covers, so either direction you take, they'll look fabulous! I love your style!

Ooooh I have been drooling over the RA ones too. I kind of love wrinkled rumpled slipcovers to death so I say short and wrinkled!

For just a temporary fix, they sure are good looking! P.S. - Your kitchen is just to die for. The chandelier, backsplash and crisp neutral tones make me extremely jealous!

oh how jealous i am! those linen chair covers are fabulous. i would choose the length they are in the photo. i based that decision on the fact that when sitting in a bar height chair, people tend to use the lower bars to rest their feet on and you don't want to be washing chair covers every day. :) looks lovely as is, but i can't wait to see your linen ones.

From the pictures I think they look cute like they are now with the Ikea covers. :)

I think, the shorter, the better... Show some leg!...

I think, the shorter, the better... Show some leg! Lol

We had the same thing happen to our leather stools! Actually, anything leather is destroyed, except this ugly leather reclining massage chair - go figure!

I warned Cory when he moved his leather furniture in, but he didn't listen. But at least now I have an excuse to get new stufff when we finish the basement!

Hi! I LOVE those Rachel Ashwell slipcovers! I love the crumpled look! I would go with a skirt that is only about 6-8 inches long. A long skirt would be cute too- but would you cats be scratching on that part then? I know mine would! :)

I think maybe the longer ones, since a short version will look similar (but longer) to the ikea ones you have now. I really like the way your stools look with the leather, so I was thinking that maybe adding the velcro and tightening up the fabric would look really good. On second thought, go with the short, since the darker legs look really good in your kitchen. And of course this is just my little opinion--you have great taste and I'm sure whatever you decide will look great.

Rebecca,
This is just a thought, but the IKEA covers don't look bad. Could the seamstress add a simple skirt to in a white cotton then tea stain the whole thing to give it that aged linen look?
