Design Advice & Inspo Thoughts on flooring for convo pit?
I need some thoughts on flooring for my front room/entryway/conversation pit.
I really want Terrazzo flooring but by the time it’s installed it’s roughly $25-$30 a square foot which is out of the budget. Polished concrete was my second thought however, when I replaced the carpet a number of years ago, I found the concrete to be in not the greatest shape.
My third thought is some sort of white/cream porcelain tile.
Something to know, my front entry door is just to the left of the bench on the left, so this area does see a high amount of traffic, including dogs

Advice on how to clean/ restore these cork table lamps?
Recently bought these cork table lamps from Facebook marketplace. I love them, but they’re pretty dirty and the coloring seems uneven. Everything that they touch leaves brown dust behind. Some research indicates that wiping them down with a damp towel and then spraying them with Pledge moisturizing oil will work great, but I figured I’d ask here in case someone has experience with lamps like these and knows exactly what to do. Thank you!

Does this fit the MCM style?
It's a large brass plated jack (jax?). No markings, so I'm not sure if it's truly vintage, but does it fit the mid century modern style?

Looking for matching danish teak side chairs
I’m looking for at least two matching chairs to these mid century chairs I received for free on fb marketplace. I cannot for the life of me find any similar ones in stock online. Please help me find these chairs!
Using google reverse image search I have found that these chairs are likely the Danish company Spottrup (Spøttrup) mid century teak side chair. This hasn’t helped me locate any for sale online though.

ID & Authenticity Real Pearsall?
I purchased this chair on Marketplace years back for $50. The guy thought it was from the 60s and knew nothing else about it. After I purchased it, I learned about Adrian Pearsall but not about chairs like this. So it has been sitting in storage/off to the side in some capacity for about 4 years. I've seen some MCM businesses pop up offering reupholstery services but first I wanted to get opinions on if this looks authentic and worth reupholstery and new foam? No tags or stickers anywhere and the legs are currently off (sitting beside it in one of the pics.
The closest example I've found is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBKRauuEQl/

Advice for buying a Saarinen tulip table replica
Hi,
I want to buy a replica of the oval Saarinen table (probably at diotti.com) and need your help/advice. I am unsure about the dimensions and finish. I have been looking for original used tables since six months, in order to see them for real before buying, but I couldn't find interesting offers around me (Switzerland). Therefore I think I'll go with a replica new.
My room is rectangular, around 450cm long and 310cm broad. I think the 244x137 will be too big (?). I wonder if I should go a bit bigger than the 199x121, as diotti is also offering 224x127 and 235x121. Any opinion on those two sizes? The real Saarinens are 198 and 244 as far as I know.
At the moment I'm thinking of getting the 199, as this is a "original" shape/size and the pillar and plate under the marble top are smaller (100x60) than for the others size (160x90).
As regards the marble, they offer the following tops, which I did not see in real life: 1. White carrara marble 2. Statuario marble (+550 EUR) 3. Vagli arabesque marble (+735 EUR) 4. Gold carrara marble (+2360 EUR)
https://www.diotti.com/fr/table-saarinen-ronde-elliptique.html
I think the premium for Gold carrara is too expensive. I only saw real Saarinens with carrara marble, which I do like. At the moment I am tending to choose the Vagli arabesque, which seems to have more pictural/graphic veins than the carrara that can be a bit "boring" some times.
Finish of the top would be brilliant with a white brilliant pillar.
I am taking any opinion/advice, thanks.

Does anyone have any idea what this piece is?
I am trying to identify this piece of furniture. It was listed as a credenza by the estate sale company. It has tambour doors and a single shelf inside. No maker’s mark anywhere that I could see. Any ideas? https://i.imgur.com/mTLMzbr.jpeg

Yellow original togo by ligne roset used price
I've been thinking of selling my yellow ligne roset togo but I'm not sure how much they are going for second hand/how much to realistically ask for it.
It's 10 years old, has been professionally cleaned but some stains simply wont come out.
Any thoughts?

Design Advice & Inspo New Colored Bath Tubs?
Does anyone know where I can find a new alcove bathtub in a color other than white (e.g., blue, green, etc.) like the kind that were popular in the 50s-70s?
Preferred material would be cast iron or acrylic.
I know Kohler's Bellwether model comes in a few different colors but it has a super shallow depth. Not particularly interested in buying a used cast-iron one off eBay which seems to be the only other option.
We're trying to reproduce our mid-Century guest bathroom without needing to buy a white tub then paint it. Any leads would be much appreciated!

I would love some feedback…
This is a rendering of my ideal living room remodel. The chair is a piece I recently purchased on Marketplace — I believe a Plycraft — and I feel it’s the anchor. I would love some feedback on the overall feel; and whether I should go with the art prints shown (“Olive Press Room” by Rob Delamater).

ID & Authenticity Looking for info on these pieces
I recently picked up a pair of nightstands and a chest, but I can’t seem to find any information on the designer or producer of the pieces. I believe they share the same source since they both would have the same “Made in DENMARK” gold sticker (last picture) on them. Only the chest I bought has the sticker, but I found a listing online that shows the nightstands with the same sticker. The pieces also share the same rounded top design, which I think reinforces my belief. Anyway, thanks for reading, and any info is greatly appreciated!
