We went from avocado toilet and shower/ bathtub surround to a lot of white subway tile and a white kitchen height cabinet from a big box store., new tall toilet. We took out the linen closet doors that were very dark oak and made it an open shelving type look. We removed the textured ceiling--not quite pop corn but not flat, and painted the walls beige. Unfortunately I let DH talk me into an accent tile of tiny glass squares that have a variety but over all they are brown. That left me STUCK on brown towels etc. It really makes me angry. My goal was a blank sleight I could have any color accessories in as the years passed. I WOULD NOT start this before Christmas, just sayin.

My opinion will be biased because I have very similar tile in my master we redid 12 years ago. 4" squares on the diagonal for the shower floor and 12" squares on main floor and up the shower walls. Coincidentally we are in process of redoing my kids' bath the past few weeks (it was also redone 12 years ago) because a hard-to-find leak in the tub prompted us to consider replacing it....which then brought about the issue of replacing the tiled tub-surround that would be damaged...and we would also have to try to retile some spots on the floor because a new tub would be a smaller footprint leaving some bare spots once old tub was pulled out. My point is that we also had to figure out the whole, "do we do an updated 'patch job' to save a lot of money, or do we just gut it and accept the cost as the price of being at peace with it/enjoying a new look and improved function. Right or wrong...which is always a very subjective thing....we gutted it and I'm thrilled. I was not interested in painting my cabinets just to have them have peel-issues due to steam, and we also got rid of the tub altogether and opted for a stand-up/walk-in shower for my older kids. Resale was considered on this issue...but by the time we move, someone can either love it as we've made it, or we will price the house with an "allowance" in mind. The old space had hot-chocolate colored walls and 'slate' porcelain floor and tub surround...an overall warm and cozy feel but also tired and dated. The new space is a porcelain 'marble' hex with white subway walk-in shower that is awaiting glass doors...an overall calming feeling that is also bright and fresh. I now actually wish SO BADLY that I was able to redo/retile MY whole bathroom (tile similar to yours). And there's nothing wrong with my bathroom, and a planned paint job on the walls will help me like it even more...... In my kids' bathroom, however, even unfinished with the floor and shower tile installed just waiting for the rest to come together (waiting on backordered tile base moulding) ......... I walk in and just smile and breathe deeply because of the way the space now makes me feel :) So my very biased vote is to gut it ;) ;)

Unscrew the hose connector and attach a new hose to it that goes from the new sink. Bring that piece that you remove with you to get the right hose size. Use an adjustable wall plate cover to hide the hole around the pipe, the pipe is usualy 1/2". Easy to install.

I was thinking of a walk-in shower like this one, without the jacuzzi and slider to outdoor patio! Clearly a high end home, but inspiring.
