Well, your bathroom is twice the size of our little 3/4 bath. First of all, the location of the doorway makes a big difference. With ours, it is in the middle of a 8.5' long wall, with the tiled shower to the right and the compact 1.24 gallon flushing toilet at the other end. It has a ceiling exhaust fan and an a/c vent, my DH built a couple of 10" deep shelves on the toilet end of the space. The floor is tiled in the same tile as the shower. There is beadboard wainscoting painted semigloss latex enamel white. The top is painted in a Behr satin latex enamel, all painting was over alkyd/oil primer. The ceiling is the same color, which is LILTING LAUGHTER, very soft and pale. The sink is the smallest I've ever seen, with the faucet mounted on the right side, not along the wall. I used a Price Pfister ORB pump style single hole. The sink does not have an overflow, but that has not been a problem. It is wall mounted, and is absolutely precious! We opted to omit a medicine cabinet in this bath, since the toilet in the other bath was located behind this wall, so I put an oval ORB mirrow that was the prettiest I could find. We also put in a pocket door. The toilet I chose was the Cadet 3 by American Standard, and it has many great features to recommend it. We've used it since about September and NEVER have had a failure to totally and cleanly flush. Never had to flush twice either. It is the 1.24 gallon Water Sense version of the COMPACT Cadet 3. Our contractor is pleased as punch with the way this tiny bath turned out. It is the smallest he's ever built, he said, and it does everything you need a bath to do. The pocket door does subtract some space from width of the room. If I could do it over, I'd probably install one of those by-pass barn door thingys, which would look fine if you have enough flat wall beside the doorway on one side. You buy the door you want and then mount it with a track over the doorway and down the wall. For our use, I'd have it mounted in the hall on the wall shared with this tiny bath. I use robe hooks instead of towel bars. I also have a wall sconce beside the mirror (ORB of course) and inside the shower I used a water proofed marine fixture which has an o-ring for the clear glass globe. Here is the toilet and sink half of the "room" before it was finished. The sink is the Porcher Elfe model. I dare you to find one smaller! :) The pocket door and the hallway. And the shower, being used but the niche for bottles etc is covered up while the grout dries. Love the Pulse Showerspa Hana model! This little bath was created from two closets and a piece of space from the other bath, and the door was the entrance to that other bath. Now, there is an ensuite bath for the master bedroom and it is still under construction.

We went with the Delta Orleans line. We picked them out at the plumbing supply place with the contractor, but then I went online and found them cheaper. (Used Faucet Depot.) We got them in brushed nickel, but the chrome versions would be even cheaper. (Note that you do have to buy the handles separately.) In the guest bath they went with fixtures from Home Depot or Lowes. I do feel the difference between the two as the delta set is metal and then guest bath set is probably not. The guest set is by Moen - either the Banberry or Brantford. For all of them, we wanted one with a higher arc. They went with cultured marble tops with the integrated sinks. They did them at the current house over 15 years ago and aside from an accident with a candle, they look about the same as when they were installed. This was in the bathroom that my sister and I shared. We each had our own vanity and each morning we would sit on the vanity, with our feet in the sink, to apply our makeup. So, they survived lots of makeup spills, curling irons, etc. with no problems. We didn't have pure white, but it is white with grey streaks. This was dirty and the plastic was still on the counter and a cell phone shot that does horrible things to the way the cabinets look, but this is there guest bath vanity. I don't have a good picture of the master vanity, but here is a similar horrible shot showing one sink. Like the above poster, they haven't been in the new house long enough to say how they will withstand the test of time, but so far they feel very solid and we are very pleased. In chrome, the Delta Orleans is around $100 from Faucet Depot. This is the smaller centerset one. The wide set ones are going to be more, no matter which brand you go with.

bellashere - I missed your note yesterday. I'm so sorry. I'd take the shower door out completely but then I'd have the lip of about 6 inches of tile off the ground for someone to trip over. And on the off chance we need to actually shower there (like there is something wrong with the upstairs shower) I don't think a curtain would be enough to keep the water in. (Though I could be wrong.) As for painting, it's not that I don't know how, but I am not physically able. I'm having to hire someone to paint the other rooms as well so I'm trying to keep it on the low side. Last bid for painting all the rooms was $4K which is about $2K more than I want to spend. Good idea on using a regular curtain. I think I'll have a lot more options. Handyman took the handles off the door today and took off the ugly brass towel rack and the weird block of wood behind it. Dry wall guy is fixing all the holes. sheesharee - I liked the Olive Branch too. Love it in your room. I think my thing is that I have had a hankering for Baby Turtle ever since I first saw it, I think it was in Red's room. And since I'm using Flowering Herb in the nearby rooms and they are right next to each other, I think they will blend well. Baby Turtle can go brown or green and I'm happy with both. The color makes me think of my garden, which is always a good thing. :)

If you want budget, don’t do tile. It’s a premium choice. The labor to install $1 tile is almost exactly the labor to install $50 tile. And labor is the biggest component in tile work b cause it is a skilled trade. Or should be. The difference between a $4600 job and a $5100 job shouldn’t be the difference in whether you do the job. If it is, then you don’t have enough reserve funding to see you through if you have issues. You’re too close to the bone. Do an acrylic surround with corner shelves if you want budget. If you do decide that the premium of tile is worth it, then hire wisely. Cheap hacks who don’t waterproof or aren’t really tile guys are everywhere. https://www.ceramictilefoundation.org/homeowners-guide-to-hiring-qualified-tile-installer
