    There is beauty in both simplicity and practicality. When styling a room, it can be frustrating to find your favorite pieces at odds with the desired aesthetic. For that reason, pieces like these counter stools are some of my favorites. The slender legs give them a light look, and a generous serving of straight lines is softened by a few selective curves. The mortise and tenon joints grant these pieces strength and durability, while the offset angle of the back legs allow you to flex your joinery skills.

    These legs draw the eye upward while the curve and slight taper of the back legs influences all other parts of the project. To begin building, start by cutting the front and back legs to size.
