Thanks for the replies. Haha, lukki  maybe my children are more high-maintenance than others (although I think theyÂre probably normal). I donÂt know how *anyone* does remodeling with small children. I canÂt imagine trying to do projects that require a great deal of concentration/attention while also having my 3 yr old and 8 month old need to eat / need diaper changes / want to color / misbehave/etc. I can barely paint a room while caring for the kids! The budget is more for reasons of not overimproving, rather than a matter of not having the money. We have enough money now to do almost whatever we want to do. But IÂve thought more about it and I think a bigger shower is something that, if we do it, will need to be for ourselves rather than for resale. I do appreciate the points you both bring up and we will think about this more. IÂd still love to hear from others!

I don't think of grays going with mustard although I'm not adamantly against it. I think of mustard coordinating with greens and blues, or tans/browns/yellows. I understand budget is limited, sounds like floor/shower/wall paint is getting done now. If you do the gray you like, live with it for a while, and decide you don't like the mustard tile with it, can the mustard be redone without damaging the elements you've already spent money on? If so, go with the grey!

If you can't replace the vanity, I'd install a new medicine cabinet. That is a child's height vanity and the drawers are awkwardly placed under a protruding shelf. Focus on improving the function until you're able to rip everything out. Kohler has some nice 26" cabinets that are about $150. Build.com is a good place to shop for everything you need for your bathroom. We have that type of shower surround in both bathrooms and they are impossible to get really clean. I believe ours is acrylic and we've tried several different products. A Magic Eraser works best but that is slow-going. Use a curved shower curtain rod and hide it. Bronze faucets don't wear well unless you get a good brand. Delta is one company who stands by their products. You might get more guidance in the Remodeling forum about why the shelf might be there and if it's safe to remove it. It's taking up too much bathroom real estate and will prevent you from achieving a refresh, much less a spa vibe. By "wires", do you mean it has an electric outlet?

Ok, so in order of the pics, we're looking at flooring, acrylic tub surround and marble (granite?) top? Are these all bought? Did you take a picture of these three elements in the same lighting? I ask because lighting is everything in how we perceive colour and on my monitor (which might not render the colours true), these elements aren't cohesive. The surround looks like a cool grey on my screen while the other two skew warm. All three have a pattern as well which usually makes a small space look busy. That said, you have two horizontal applications (counter and floor) and one vertical (surround) so that will affect how we perceive the colours as well. Will you have a glass shower door or a curtain? If a glass shower door, I'd be tempted to find a colour that relates to the surround (I'd pick the lightest of the swirls). If you'll have a curtain and won't see the surround, I'd pick the lightest colour in your countertop. Bringing a sample to the paint store and having them match your element is one easy way to find that colour. (Both Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore have phone apps that can help you identify their closest match colour to a hard surface.) A greige colour is a chameleon colour that skews both warm and cool grey depending on the light and I'd be tempted to look at those. Benjamin Moore's Silver Satin might be a good one to try. Hope this helps.
