Mine are the stainless Eiffel legs - we've had them for about 5 years. V comfortable and I occasionally wipe them with one of those magic eraser cleaning wedges/sponges (maybe annually).

which table will go best

Hmmm I do understand your indecision. So if it were me I would lean toward caution and choose a tabletop which blends with your existing colour scheme. It's always difficult to tell from a photo the hues in someone else's home. It does appear your kitchen tiles are a cream colour, and possibly your sofa is a warm white. Is that correct? If so, I would look for a marble with warm tones. If you like black as the main colour, is there one with beige or warm white or brown tones in it? Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with glass topped or timber.

A person standing at the sink needs space to stand in....don’t put the toilet so close to the sink. You need storage under the counter...drawers and doors need to be opened for access.....don’t put the toilet so close to the vanity cabinet. If you both will use the sinks and mirror at the same time you need to allow enough room for arms-up-elbows-out for two. If you don’t do grooming at the same time, one good sink will allow more space for separate storage. Don’t forget good lighting: good sconces on the mirror wall AND at least four recessed lighting cans. The ceiling lighting will also reflect light off the mirror onto your faces. Be sure you add a good exhaust fan which vents odors and excess moisture to the outside through the roof or wall.

HU-624382943's comment about speaker placement is important. As far as quality listening goes (whether you like listening to music seriously or want to enjoy fantastic sound when watching movies, you want the speakers on the narrow wall (pointing towards the set of paned windows), not on a long wall. The challenge, of course, will be to get them sufficiently spaced, since you have the bookcase on the right and the cupboard (with or without doors) on the left, as well as the door to the room itself. (That door looks uncomfortably close to the cupboard doors, incidentally.) Unless you choose to suspend your directional speakers from the ceiling – which could be an option – you'll probably be limited to the width of that central section of wall, i.e. immediately to each side of the TV.

Small bathroom - best bathtub and sink/vanity combo
Q

The gap is definitely driving me crazy, we’ve only moved in since March so been lots of pondering, including changing it all, but unfortunately the next room over is our third bedroom. But you have given me an idea there is a cupboard in the front of this bathroom and could knock down the wall so maybe the bathtub could actually get a bigger spot after all and get rid of the front cupboard / wall and then change where the door is.

I like the grey wall but artwork doesn't really work

somethings not quite working for me with these options but I'm battling to put my finger on it....could be that the 'white' in the bedding is a very warm white and the frame of the art is a very stark white. And the light colour walls are also a 'cool' colour with the warm white bedding. If I had to choose one it would probably be 4.

It's just my 'photoshop skills' and lighting in the room. The frame is just a simple white frame and the sheets are also white. But I wanted something that works across a few of my other quilt covers too, not just this one.

Thanks for all your votes!

To throw a cat among the pigeons :) I like 1 best, its got that Nordic look about it, which I like. The lighter wall will also match more bedding colours.

I just realised, the arrangements of the images in Desktop and Mobile are different!

On desktop:

1. Light wall, mountain art

2. Light wall, cloud art

3. Dark wall, mountain art

4. Dark wall, cloud art

On mobile:

1. Dark wall, mountain art

2. Light wall, mountain art

3. Dark wall, cloud art

4. Light wall, cloud art

=(

I guess I wouldn't know which you have voted after all!

Definitely no. 4. The pictures stand out better on a darker background.
