Your picture rotated right side up. Do you prefer to stay with light,neutral colors or are you looking for something darker? You could paint the vanity espresso and use shiny chrome hardware or repaint a fresh off-white and use oil-rubbed bronze or satin nickel hardware. It depends on your preference. My powder room has travertine floors, BM Baby Turtle walls, a mahogany vanity and ORB fixtures. Very warm and cozy. My guest bath has travertine floors, shiny chrome fixtures and hardware, a cherry type stained vanity, white subway tiled shower, and pale BM Old Prairie walls. It's very bright and spa like, but the stained vanity and ivory floors offer some warmth. Both are very different looks. Pottery Barn has some nice light fixtures - I just installed the Sussex tube sconces and they're very pretty. Paint and new floors alone can make a big difference but a new faucet is another low cost fix that will have an impact. You could also frame your large mirror with wood to match the vanity. If you search the web, you'll find DIY instructions. Good luck!

Meghane, I love the idea of re-tiling the floors with white hex/colored accent tiles! (You know, those hexagonal flowers?) Maybe changing the vanities out. One thing you might try instead is making them look old, by replacing the door/drawer panels with radiator cover mesh and changing out the hardware, to get that retro vibe. If you need the storage, it would be insanity to get pedestal sinks. The glass shower door looks good, it's functional, and the tub is reglazed, so..if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I agree that I would try new wall paint/towels/a purely decorative shower curtain to tie in the wall tiles instead. I personally like the yellow tiles. Those weird combos were very fifties, why not embrace them? You could even use brown accent tiles in the master bath. OR you could reglaze the brown tiles to black, if you truly hate them. Maybe you would like yellow and black better? I love the seafoam green! In my grandparent's only bathroom, they had seafoam green tiles with black tiles on top. They had that exact mirror/light, with a square pedestal sink. I think they had some weird asbestos floor tile. You can skip that! :)

I had two older homes. 1100 sq feet, 1000 sq feet with small bathrooms. The homes were in very good location, but dated and not exactly what people were looking for; i.e. vaulted ceilings, large bathrooms, large kitchen. - I gutted all four bathrooms myself. Hammer, wrecking bar, boxes I got from the local supermarket. I was messy but not so difficult. - The first bathroom I used Lowes/Home Depot tiles on the shower/bathroom walls, floor to the bathroom. Then a wainscoat and big dramatic chair rail above it. This bathroom was a real show stopper and the realtor loved it. - I hired a guy to put up the tile work, plumber installed the new shower head, pipes, drain. About 1,000 dollars total. - I set the new toilet, vanity, light fixture, sink, painted everything myself. - All done for about 2k and a few weekends, nights. - Second bathroom had a tub, so I just gutted the walls, floor, new tile, vanity, toilet, drywall, cement board etc. Paid for plumber, tile guy. 2k done. Second Home - Same deal, gut myself, kept the old tube that had a nick in it. Bought the repair paint at lowes, and special cleaning spray. Shined up perfect. New vanity, tile, lights, toilet etc..tile guy installed tile on floor and around the tub. I put in the chair rain, wainscoat, painted. Looked great. Last bathroom was the best. Went to tile shop and found a big selection and quality of tile. They were great and this shower turned out perfect. I hated to sell the house because this bathroom was so nice. It sold the house. large floor tiles, all around the shower, installed vent fan because it never had one. This bathroom was 3k because of the better tile, but it sold the house. I think a good price range with you doing some of the messy work is about 3k-5k depending on what you keep and what you replace. Checking craigslist you can find tile, vanity, light fixtures or go to the salvage stores etc... Bathrooms were a big selling point for those homes. Just look online for tile ideas etc...then copy what you see. I think hiring a good tile guy is best because it is harder than you might think and they know the tricks etc. Putting up the cement board in the shower/bathroom stall hire a guy that knows how to make it square. It's important for the tile guy. Looking back, I enjoyed the remodel and learned a lot about it. I live in a newer home down and have a few bad tiles in the bathroom, but I won't do any major remodeling. I think you can do it for a lot less than 15k. Good Luck!

very cute! nice work. you might consider a bit of a snazzier faucet to make the transformation feel even bigger. I guess your new counter has the same spacing as the old, but they make cute options...[https://www.houzz.com/products/delta-faucet-2-handle-chrome-lavatory-faucet-with-popup-2538-mpu-dst-prvw-vr~79242886[(https://www.houzz.com/products/delta-faucet-2-handle-chrome-lavatory-faucet-with-popup-2538-mpu-dst-prvw-vr~79242886)[https://www.houzz.com/products/belanger-bathroom-sink-faucet-polished-chrome-finish-2-handles-4-centerset-prvw-vr~76873589[(https://www.houzz.com/products/belanger-bathroom-sink-faucet-polished-chrome-finish-2-handles-4-centerset-prvw-vr~76873589) [https://www.houzz.com/products/belanger-bathroom-sink-faucet-polished-chrome-finish-2-handles-4-centerset-prvw-vr~76873446[(https://www.houzz.com/products/belanger-bathroom-sink-faucet-polished-chrome-finish-2-handles-4-centerset-prvw-vr~76873446) Anyway, great work with the colors and lighting! must feel great.
