Handy, long-legged and good-looking too

A neighborhood garage sale lured us in the other day and that's where we spotted them. These two gorgeous stools beckoned, the perfect pair to go with the condo's black granite counter tops, don't you think? Solid as rocks, the handsome ebony jewels were tagged at just $4 apiece. Since it was a garage sale, we felt obliged to offer them $7 for the pair, but the seller held firm. We peeled eight George Washingtons off our wad, tossed the stools into the hatchback and delivered them today to the 10th floor of The Chicago Lofts in Midtown. Above, ace stool model Steve smiled his approval, he'll doubtless be seated right there again tomorrow morning, spooning his milk and granola.
