I think that if you want some of the old stain to show through, you may can rough up the paint brush you are using but don’t use too much of the new paint to allow the old coat to come through. They may have specialty brushes you can buy at Home depot etc.. to achieve the look.

As far as carpet is concerned….if you are going to replace carpet with dark green stain on walls, I would go with a dark cream or light kaki color. Another alternative is to put slate tile down (or ceramic tile). I replaced carpet floor for my mom and dad, they wanted to get rid of carpet (very dated, lol) but now looks very "rustic" as they put it. New floor but looks old, so tile or slate might be a way to go. The stuff I put down for my parents was about 1.98 per square foot, off course they got free labor in process. Plus tile is easier to clean etc… I have a link below showing the tile. If you get some colored grout to fill in between tiles it definitely will give rustic effect. Hope this helps and I hope its not too much stuff for your question, lol. Best of luck.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
