Shopping guide: looking for bar stools

This weekend, we worked a lot on our kitchen renovations and we built our big kitchen island.
It's great! Huge counter space to work and lots of storage. I feel like a tv cook when I'm woring on it. But a few thing are still missing: our light fixtures and our bar stools. I have been looing around for some good options for the barstools and here are my latest finds.
What do you think? Any other suggestions?

From left to right:
Clear lyon bar stool -165$
Sebastian - 80$
Kobe - 85$
Urban - 150$
Coca -250$

So I am in the process of transforming my dinning room. Well transforming.... let me explain. It used to be our "Put everything we don't know where to put" room which was filled mostly with the 100 ikea cabinets boxes. Now that the kitchen is built and the boxes are gone, we have a big empty room with my old dinning table ( which looks really small in the room) and my serie seven chair ( like the one on the photo)
When I saw this photo with the same chair I have, It really inspired me....I really love the light fixture. It could really look good in my room.

Another gorgeous kitchen found in an magazine.
Love the back splash and the horizontal lines created by the handles. I also like the how the kitchen hood was integrated. The kitchen island is very interesting also. Love the shape and the little space to put the cookbooks. And finally, love the wood floors. Great inspiration!

Here are some kitchen inspirations. Can you feel a trend? I just love white kitchens!
I'm really inspired by the way the kitchen hood was placed on the second kitchen. It's hidden behind a white wooden box. It could be a great way to hide a cheap kitchen hood.
