Most people I've met have a decorative accessories graveyard :-) I used to have a gift closet too but finally gave that up when I realized I was buying things that were TOO generic and not suitable for anybody. This is an interior bathroom that hasn't much to recommend it. We use this as the "medicine bathroom." All our OTC medicines are in that vanity----- cold relief in the top left drawer, first aid kit, bandaids and bandages and neosporin in another, ace bandages, arm and finger splints in another, upset tummy in another, etc. We don't keep any prescription stuff here but it is really convenient to keep all this type thing in one location. I'm thinking a brick floor would really take it up a notch or three, give it one great feature.

This was originally a lake cabin (1966) about 850 sf. According to tax records it slowly "grew" until it is now about 3500 sf. They did not remove old roofs as they enlarged the house. This bathroom is part of the oldest section of the house. That means a roof over a roof..so no way to put in a skylight. I am not happy about it, but nothing I can do. The bar fixtures we just removed made it bright enough, but they were old. 5 bulbs on one wall and 4 bulbs on the other. I think if I buy lights that can take 100 watt bulbs, and if I have two lights on each side of the mirror or 4 above the mirror, then it should be enough. I hope. I haven't seen any lights that take 100 watt bulbs lately though or led equivalent of 100 watt. Maybe with the incandescent bulb issues a few years ago, they quit making those 100 watt fixtures? So, in a couple of years, we plan to sell the house, so I want nice looking lights, but not expensive lights. Something classic, not trendy. I am spending a small fortune on a solid surface shower, stone countertops, and custom cabinets. We gutted everything but the ceiling, and that popcorn junk will be removed. We are going to try to save the marble floor. It should work well. Black marble floor with white veins, either white or light gray swirl for shower base, either subway tile or solid surface walls, light gray quartzite or marble countertops, and medium oak cabinets. Paint color will be last, but I need to preplan for the lights' location to have it wired correctly before we put up sheetrock. Will I get more illumination if I put two lights on either side of the mirror vs above the mirror? Thanks

LOL, YES, I am on overload for sure. I can see the finish line or maybe I am the horse that sees the barn! We have been remodeling since 2011. Yes, we have a heater,, vent, nightlight combo in all bathrooms. I am a big believer in them. We are changing the mirrors, cabinets, lights, and the tub will be changed to a shower. The marble floor will stay. The previous owners put that same marble in the kitchen. You can probably imagine what it looked like after 20 years on a kitchen floor. It was awful to remove, so we will keep the marble floor in the bathroom. We will probably go with white and/or and gray tile because of the black and white marble. We have already installed a white Toto toilet. The electrician asked what I am using for lights. I had no answer because I didn't know he was coming today until he texted last night. I will try to get into a bathroom showroom Thursday. Thank you!

There are quite a few similar out there.
