It depends on some other factors. What kind of work will be done here" Will participants have lap tops? 30" space per participants is minimum. If they are using lap tops 36, preferably 48". About the longest table you're going to be able to use is a 10' model. That would leave you with 3.5' at each end. A 4'x10' rectangle table will seat 10 at 30" spaces (4 on each side + 1 at each end). This is tight in my opinion.

I think you are talking about a vanity to put in the bedroom, not the bathroom. Is that correct? If it is correct, then I think your idea of cherry wood for the vanity is a good one. It certainly doesn't have to match exactly. In fact, we mix a lot of wood stains these days. If you're interested in a vanity for the bathroom, that's a totally different thing. I see part of the bathroom in the photos. You could have a faux artist come and paint the existing bath vanity to match your bed if you want to go in that direction. But you state that you want a modern bathroom, so maybe you have something else in mind. I've selected 4 different baths that might appeal to you. Please let me know if you like any of them, or if it's the bedroom you're more interested in. Thanks. Carolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID

How are the plans for the bedroom coming along?

Hey!! You could go about this two ways, First, is to upholster the bench itself (making the change semi-permanent), or the second would be to place cushions, or a think upholstered piece of ply atop the bench and secure it with fabric straps across the four legs. If you want to upholster the back as well, you'll have to glue the foam and fabric onto a plyboard and attach it (in both cases). Read on for instructions. For the first option, you have to follow the same steps with the exception of 12, and do it all directly on the bench and not on a plyboard. Procure a 6mm thick plyboard and cut it to the dimensions of the seat. make it a 1 or 2 mm smaller than the seat so that you can slide/drop it in when done. sand one surface down to make it smooth. Get 3" foam, again cut to the size of the plyboard. get foam batting =, and fabric if your choice, 6" larger on all sides. Spray adhesive on the ply and foam (check manufacturers instructions to see whether you need it on both surfaces or just one.) Glue the foam to the board, place weights on top, and leave it to dry. Lay down the fabric, face down on a clean workstation, play the foam batting on top. Place the now glued seat upside down on the batting and start pulling the batting upward and staple it in place. Do one side at a time (opposites first, not adjacent) Repeat the 8 and 9 with Fabric Cut off any excess. Tailor longish strips of the fabric and staple them to the four corners of the ply and use it to tie and secure the board on the bench. Hope this helps!!
