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. :)

    Thank you Lia... I can def try two... not a problem, I have another, the same. Should I intertwine them? Or both outstretched the full bed width/draped?

    Here is an updated picture. The stairs turned out great. Although this DIY stuff goes slowly. We are still dealing with attaching the wood bullnosing to the concretehe one step down from the entry way. The wood or the concrete is not level and bows. Are there nails that we can shoot into the concrete?

    Thank you for all your comments. :) Boxer, we had the backsplash included in the contract with our contractor so we sort of have to do it together... If we were more experienced with remodeling, we would not have done it the way we set it up but... oh, well... Leslie and jdcl, I like your suggestions. I have been actually looking at either taupe tiles and gray tiles. There ARE so may shades of these tiles that actually have been rather confusing for me but your mentioning these olors sort of assures me! Cinlyklein... now... what is a kitchen shrine? Maybe something that I should do a search for? pdxkit, We paid $3315 for what came out to be 67 sqft of the area. The island is about 52&quot; x 36&quot; (39&quot; x 24&quot; cabinet and 12&quot; overhang on two sides). I have replied to your email about the price detail on our granite, too. Hope that helps!

    I found it! Went shopping in New Orleans and stopped by Home &amp; Garden in Covington, LA. This store had been written talked about in some of the decorating blogs I frequent. Truly eye candy city. They carry Suzanne Kasler's Hickory Chair line. Absolutely beautiful. I could have stayed there forever. But, after I stopped drooling over the beautiful furniture, I found THE chandelier. I can't wait to hang it and post pictures but, I thought I would share. What do you think? Do you guys like it? Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I'll post pics after I hang it. I also found all my fabric at a great place in New Orleans that has the best prices on Jefferson Linen. I can post if anyone is interested.

    Thank you Tiffany, I went back and observed photos after reading your post and kinda see where you are coming from... hmmm?

    Well, in person, I like these branches...so... I would like to see if I could lighten the bedding and make it relate better... Any suggestions? :)

    Thing is..lol once I get mirrors,,, the garland may not work anyway. lol

    I have that mirror you guys liked over my bed... that starburst...sunburst...lol whatever and could do that... or... I could try my juju hat...which I love. (although, way back when discussing that... Gls thought it may be too much with my chandy...I never did try it to see, but need to put that thing somewhere) :D

    Thanks for your thoughts... and yes, no oval I think... after seeing the pics Gls posted. Although, I know I saw a pic with them somewhere and liked it...but as of now, it's a negative. lol

    I do like the French mirrors...a lot, but wasn't sure if it would be too much? I like both...the more decorative and the arched/rounded corners too.

    I struggled trying to figure out just what size the two mirrors should be. I too have 9 ft ceilings, but without a mirror to try It's a bit hard to size it up. Plus there is a lamp in front of each mirror. So it needs to be in proportion to the lamp as well as the nightstand.

    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.

    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... ???

    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. :)

  • zazfuzzroc

    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
