a door is opening right into the vanity. So if someone is washing their face, will they get smacked with the door? We had a similar situation in my girls' bathroom. The arch. put in a tall cab close to the door and made the vanity smaller. I liked that solution rather than have the conflict.

smaller mirror, thinner window trim (that current trim is a little dated anyway) and lose that over head lighting. It's way too bulky and way too 1985. That mirror you have is meant for an antique style set-up. doesn't go w/your vanity or your faucet. do thinner sconces or a pendant light.or a two light over head light. the other option is to redo the top w/new faucet and a right off-set sink. redo the window so you have a white frame that looks like this

I love this. You have a built in laundry folding station/fix-it project tabletop (store tools) AND ‘standing catch all‘ when you have too much stuff in your arms (read: up from basement/in from garage). Organize with shelves/drawers/sliding panel of pegboard (on wall side). Tons of led lights under shelves/in drawers/on work surface means you can see what you’re looking for. Trim the front with durable knee-bump friendly beadboard. bonus if you incorperate ’sink-front flip-open hinges’ for pens/pencils/screwdriver on front. I’m jealous.

It’s now or never. In our area, highly skilled labor will not take on a small job such as a bathroom remodel. I fully acknowledge it’s not a small job but that’s how it’s viewed here based on neighbors who won’t get a call back from contractors for a bathroom remodel. Since we’ve got the best of the best working on the rest of the house, we figure we can leverage their skills now. Budget is more sticker shock than running out of money. We were naive to think we could get all that we asked for with the original budget we envisioned. Especially in this HCOL area. Over budget is due to us significantly expanding scope. We think the scope increases in the rest of the house are justified for improved quality of life or for aesthetics in high traffic areas. We thought we’d finish the entire basement later on. But we’ve changed our minds to finish it now. And if my husband who is more budget conscious is on board, I am jumping on that before he changes his mind LOL! It’s a slippery slope though. The rest of the basement will be a much more functional space. Already has a nice guest room, a good size living space in the addition. We finally have a plan to convert the existing basement into a media room. Which led us to adding a kitchenette. Then if we’re doing that, the basement bathroom will get more use. So here we are. It definitely hurts to spend more money. I’m wondering if small inexpensive changes will make a difference to the aesthetics and function of the basement bathroom. Or will it be like slapping lipstick on a pig? Or look like a cheap afterthought which definitely won’t fly in our neighborhood. Drains have to stay in place. Not worth the plumbing work, jackhammering the concrete foundation or a significant permit revision. Are you saying moving shower pipes is inexpensive? A few hundred dollars is an easier pill to swallow than thousands.
