I am getting ready to do exactly the same thing and this is the my plan. I am not changing the location of any of the fixtures and I am not changing out the bathtub, so my list is straightforward. If you have major changes, the sequence might change. 1. Gather together all of the things you want to install - I have the vanity, toilet, plumbing fixtures (came today! yay!) and I am still waiting on the floor and wall tile. 2. When you have everything gathered, you are ready to start. Demo the old vanity and the wall mirror (if the mirror is big like mine you might have to hire glass people to remove it and haul it away). (I will remove the vanity and break it down). 3. Next get the plumber in to do the plumbing rough for the shower fixtures. He will cut into your old tile to get to the pipes, but doesn't do the tile demo. 4. Tile guy comes next. He will demo the shower and floor and put up the moisture barriers, cement board, tile, etc. He removes old toilet. You might consider timing your demo to coincide with trash pickup day (our trash guys will haul away the debris for a $20 gratuity). Depending on the size of bath, tiling could take 3-4 days. 5. Paint behind the toilet and the vanity wall. 6. The plumber comes back to finish the shower fixture installation and to install the toilet. 7. Immediately after the tile is done, get the glass people in to measure for the shower door (if that is what you are doing). It takes a couple of weeks to make the door so have them come as soon as the tile is set. 8. The carpenter comes next to install the vanity, medicine cabinet, etc. 9. As soon as the vanity is installed, you need to call the counter top people to template. It might take a week or two to get your counter top. Once the counter top is installed, the plumber returns to install the sink faucet. This is the time I would paint the rest of the room and install the mirror. I am likely doing a tile backsplash so I will need to get the tile guy back once the countertop is installed. Last thing that gets installed is the shower door and that will be in a few weeks from when you called them. As soon as the tile comes, I will start setting up the appointments. I will call the tile person first because he will be the busiest. Once I know when he's coming, I will call the plumber to do the rough the day before the tile guy is due. If everything is scheduled properly, I am expecting my bathroom remodel to take around 2 weeks. I am not installing or changing lighting - but you could have the electrician come at any time (but before the painting).

Well I don't know what your spacing is like for the rest of the room, but I have a couple ideas. You might be better off putting the TV to the wall to the left and have it facing where the able is in the picture. Then place the cough on the opposite die of the television. Then you can place the table where that little light is coming from behind the couch in the picture. Just some moving around thoughts.

I think this might be about all I can do this year but I think it’s a huge improvement from where I started! I really wanted to find a more structural plant to put along the wall but I went to three different garden centers and nothing jumped out at me. Ended up doing three small planters with daisies and trailing sedum instead. The existing pots got reshuffled to the edges of the wall, which helps mask the unfinished ends I think. I added a couple of chairs and a small table too. :)

Right now there is no room for a coffee table or to have a conversation. The solution with a narrow room like this is to align the deeper furniture with the deeper part of the room. Put the TV on the wall over a shallow console, on the wall opposite the fireplace. Then put the couch in front of the fireplace, facing the TV. You'll still have a "hallway" in the same place, but now you have room for an arm chair in front of the windows, maybe an end table in the corner between arm chair and couch, maybe even a second (slipper?) chair on the near end, but who can say since we can't see the other direction. I suspect you could fit a coffee table in front of the couch as well. Fireplaces can be nice design elements, but here it is enslaving you to bad options. If you ignore it, you can arrange the furniture to actually enlarge the space and welcome friends to join you there.
