Close to pulling all my hair out. HELP PLEASE!

I'm not sure which countertop to go with between two options.. Not permanently staying in this home. I like the brightness of the wood, but not the variation in it, along with a few knots. Not going for a "country" look. Sorry. The other counter is laminate and looks like doo-doo brown (lol), but these are really the only affordable choices I have. I don't want to special order anything since I'll be moving. Any opinions are much appreciated. (The tiles in the images attached are the tiles I'm using.) Everything was changed due to a water leak. Also, I'm changing the lights to brushed stainless and adding some cans. Sorry if this is confusing. Trust me I'm confused myself. I think next time I'll ask the houzzers in the beginning. :) Pictures with both lights on and off. Also, the peninsula is staying with the butcherblock. The light really effects the wall and countertop colors. I'm exhausted. :)

    You'll need to see what the mirrors will be reflecting. Like you wouldn't want your closet or bathroom showing up next to your bed. Then there is the question of will sunlight be bouncing off of it? You can see that before I left there my head hurt. I'm visual and need to see it to know if I like it when it isn't a typical thing. I never tried mirrors next to the bed.

    I like the French style mirror but not a huge floor size. It's a go with anything look but classy.

    You will see the garland because it can't drape is more my problem. But I think maybe two is better than one. But it is more delicate for the size of the headboard and textures of the bedding.

    I love the texture of the juju hat might -- work there. You'll need a distance photo from the foot of the bed.

    Parker hung mirrors above her nightstand and she hung it like 6 in above the nightstand and above eye level cuz I read that you're supposed to hang a mirror either eye level or above eye level

    Tiff, I think it depends on room size too... although my chandy is 3 inches too tall for the room... I still like it, and think the bed can carry it. I kinda think same goes for the mirrors... depends what looks good.

    Ya can always tape things out on the wall... that does help.

    I like basically everything at Eloquence...so you can look there to see what I like.. and also like Eros ...which is a store in Louisiana. They are both on Instagram, but Eloquence has a website. My bed is made by them.

    Tgb1... you've been busy, everything looks great. You have me itching...lol I would love a little grouping of mirrors (antique-ish gold)... maybe above my slider, or peeking out from behind my tree in the morning room... I think it would be so cute there. But... that is just my thought..haha Could look like poo... haha :D

    You remember my little mirrors I had in the back room at the other place? lol Margo wanted those gone... haha I still have them, could always leaf them... ???

    Toby is adorable as always ... thanks for that pic. <3

    Now... let's talk about those trunks... I love those!!!! <3

    zaz, all those mirrors are beautiful. That chandelier is candy for the eye..you are tempting me to get one for the bedroom even though I decided against it (we have a chandelier in the seating area, but the bed area has tray ceiling and we have recessed lights only)

    LOL, floor mirror:) yeah, I've heard that idea..men:)) I will get one, but for the seating area so I can use it when I need to get dressed and nothing else:)

    Printesa, thank you for your opinion and for sharing all the ideas...appreciate your time doing that for me. <3

    I think this mirror is pretty... Erin has posted similar, and I always loved them.

    I think you are right about hanging them... I could still attach to the wall with them resting... but that would take up needed space...haha esp for me. :D

    I do see that the rectangular looks nice, so thanks for sharing. :)

    Lol Printesa, I know... seriously...haha

    That would look pretty in a seating area...and I really do need something for dressing... maybe even on the back of my bathroom door..or prob closet is better... but something nice looking. Right now,... I use my reflection in my shower doors. LOL

    The chandelier ... they are so pretty and I miss that crystal sparkle... but I also love the sound of the capiz.... it's amazing to hear, esp with all the airflow we get.

    Tiff, no worries on the mirror reflection... my bath door is to the side of the bed...so they will either reflect plants...or into the living space... facing out of my room... and lol more plants. haha

    I’m glad to hear you are healing Happy. It always takes more time as we get older.Gls that’s a gorgeous shower well done! It’s the one thing that needs to happen in this house and it isn’t going to. I have to go with the British tub and shower system. and mine needs a serious upgrade.

    Zaz did I miss a painting post? I’m not seeing it.

    Agree once you get the mirrors you may not need the delicate garland… or you might put a garland on each mirror?

    I think tall and narrow is going to be the most practical but you don’t want it to look too heavy.

    Very nice look on your shower. Great space in the closet. How long before you have it filled?? My flat spaces go quickly here.

    In this house I was going to keep the tub in the downstairs guest room, instead of tearing it out. But now I think a shower will be more practical downstairs for a quick shower after coming in from the yard work. My downstairs tub is so shallow and short it is kind of pointless. I can only get wet up to my hips. LOL. GL your shower makes the room look much larger.

    WOW I bought an inexpensive Sunbeam Toaster with wide slots. OMG the thing is great. I can put in large Brioche buns, thick bread and hot dog buns. So handy. Should have got one a lot sooner.
