Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday, whatever you call it, it’s one of the most exciting days of the year – for us anyway. While it marks the last day of feasting before 40 days of fasting for many Christians, it’s also an excuse to drag out the frying pan and get creative with pancake recipes. Will you opt for our European neighbour’s traditional thin crepe choice? Or decide to hop across the pond to the USA and create some fluffy American-style delights? Whichever you choose one thing’s for sure; you’ll need the perfect dining space to do it in. For this casual holiday, a dining table seems almost too formal, which is why we suggest decking out your kitchen counter area with the perfect bar stools – luckily, we have some suggestions for you right here in this blog. Once that’s sorted, you can start making amazing pancakes using our recipes listed below. First up is EZ Living Furniture resident baker Shirley Kilduff’s take on Crepes Suzette and next you’ll find her amazing Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes. So, enough “waffling” from us – get ready, set, bake!
Best EZ Living Furniture Bar Stools For Optimal Pancake Eating
1. Gain Taupe Faux Leather Bar Stool
If, like us, you plan on spending a great deal of time chowing down on some of the best pancakes you’ve ever tasted then you’ll need a great bar stool to do it in. While we love backless stools for their space-saving abilities, we think a backed alternative would be better able to handle our full-stomach, breathless antics which are likely to occur after a massive intake of pancakes, which is why we believe the Gain Faux Leather Bar Stool is the perfect choice for the job! The Gain Faux Leather Bar Stool features a taupe-coloured leather seat, ideal for easily mopping up any maple syrup spillages, and black metal legs for excellent durability and stability when you push the stool from under yourself to grab more pancakes before they’re gone!
2. Leo Grey Faux Leather Bar Stool
Another great faux leather option is the Leo. This grey-covered stool is both comfortable and easy to keep clean which is great for any accidental Nutella disasters. The unique criss-cross detail on its seat draws the eye and creates an instant element of interest in any kitchen/dining space. Once Pancake Day is over, the Leo can easily lend itself to other dining delights whether that’s a breakfast buffet or a charcuterie night with friends.
3. Iona Oak Bar Stool
Backless bar stools have many advantages, so we couldn’t create this list without at least including some of our backless favourites. The Iona Oak Bar Stool embodies everything a rustic-design kitchen could hope for. With its traditional hardwood seat and contemporary black metal legs, it’s sure to make a statement on Pancake Tuesday, and every day after. The Iona is easy to clean, so don’t worry about any of those sticky spills, just simply wipe it with a warm, damp cloth as soon as you notice it. By far though, the best thing about the Iona is its ability to tuck neatly under a counter, creating a less cluttered look overall.
4. Maple Bar Stool
The final stool on our list is our Maple Bar Stool. Available in multiple colours, including biscuit, mustard, blue, and dark purple, you’re sure to find at least one shade that would fit right in with your kitchen/dining decor. While our main reason for choosing this bar stool is its name association with the popular pancake topping, this isn’t our only reasoning. Its featured pedestal leg means it can suit a variety of kitchen counters and bar table heights. So, if you happen to have a non-standard, taller or shorter-than-usual counter, then the Maple is likely the perfect stool for you. Finally, it swivels, meaning easier access to your stool when the last call for pancakes is announced and you need to hop up onto a stool quickly.
