Here is what it looks like now after painting it Palladian Blue (thanks, sueb20, for the correct spelling): This is a spare cabinet door I have that is a dark alder (which is quite similar to cherry): I do like this much better. This shade still has a tinge of red in it. I'm wondering if I should aim for this type of finish or something without the red undertones? Also, if I were to layer a brownish/black gel stain (like a walnut or java) would it work better to reduce the red/orange of the existing stain? Other possibility could be a mahogany, but since the existing stain has quite a bit of red/orange, perhaps that'd be too much? I'm not going to sand away the entire stain there now, just enough to get off the poly layer. The cultured granite doesn't photograph too well, but it has little greyish/black flecks in it. Usually I find a java stain too dark for my taste, but I'm curious how it would look next to the cultured granite. I don't think it works too well with the existing finish--it's too orange and shiny for me, as the same time, is it fairly good shape and I don't want to ruin it. Next task, though, is to clean the grout in the floor tile and reseal before DH and DS return so the bathroom can be used again.

This looks do-able to me. I have a shower 37.5" deep and 62" wide and would find your size to be comfortable. I do worry about the swing of the shower door, if you are not using a shower curtain. It needs to swing both in and out for safety. If someone has a medical emergency or falls, the door must open outward. Can you switch the toilet and the sink around in the new bath? That may give you what you need for the door. Measurements of all the walls, doors, and windows would help a lot in getting others to comment, too. I find myself wondering if there is room to put the new bath entry door on the wall to your hallway, around the corner from where you placed it. Two - no, three - advantages to that - one is that the light from opening the bathroom door will not shine in the eyes of the occupant who is trying to get an extra half hour of sleep while the other is getting ready. Second, the bedroom is small and can use all the space you can get. And third, you could possibly have the bathroom door open outward, into the hall, giving the small bathroom more space. I put in a pocket door in my small bathroom and having access to that wall behind the door makes it much roomier. oh, and the sounds of the bathroom will be more muffled if the door is not opening into the bedroom itself. Be sure to sound proof the wall to the bedroom and the hall. There is special soundproof drywall. Sounds echo and are loud in bathrooms. Get a solid door, too, not hollow core. I thought I had made clear we wanted all solid doors, but did not double check (and have known my contractor for years and do not get things in writing anymore - bad move). We have hollow doors and we hear everything room to room but the bathroom is the worst. Please add in the measurements of the new bedroom. It seems that it will be a hair over 12 ft wide and then 10 ft deep. A king bed can fit in that space. I think our bedroom was about that size. Master bedrooms should be able to hold a king bed for resale, I would think. We had a double decker drawer bed from Anderson Manufacturing when we lived there. Bed #2 in that link. What is the climate where you live? Many places you cannot have a shower head coming out of an outside wall because the pipes will freeze. If you ever get sub-zero weather, do not do that. Put the pipes in the wall with the other toilet, if you can. Then any running water noise will be in the other bathroom, not in the master bedroom wall. That is all I can think of at the moment. Add measurements and people will chime in more.

Well, I actually moved the bathroom to the other side of the house when I redid the plumbing, so the size and layout changed. Still small, though, since my house is small. I did the Houzz no-no of installing a freestanding tub and shower in a small space. :) I also didn't install wall tile. But, my renovation feedback is get multiple quotes and use contractors who are recommended by people you know. Do enough research to know what should be done, such as for waterproofing or lighting, and the different methods for doing it. You do not need to become an expert. Ask the opinions of the experts, within the parameters you've set. Spend your money on things that matter. Design the bathroom with your needs in mind. I hate cleaning around the toilet base, so I chose a wall mount toilet. Sink is wall mounted, too. I chose tile and colors that went with the rest of the house. My storage solutions are mostly shelves and hooks. We don't have a lot of bathroom stuff, though. If you are stuck on design choices, I would recommend replicating a bathroom you like. Finally, plan for delays (old, small house here!) and overages.

So much to unpack here. Do you have physical samples of all the items you are looking at now? The renderings are not as helpful. How much space did you leave for the toilet area? It looks a little tight. I like the feature behind the toilet but not the color of it. I think the vanity should be a beautiful walnut - that gray just seems so flat. I don't mind the floor but the tone seems slightly off - I will chalk that up to looking at rendering on a computer screen . You are close - I would not worry about paint colors until things are getting installed. You may feel very differently then. . Good luck!
