Lovely! About the cast iron bathtub, if you ever want to change it out... Cast iron is very hard, but also very brittle. You can seriously just hit it with a sledgehammer a few times and then carry the fragments out the door in drywall buckets. We did this in our last bathroom. I was a chemistry major, so i suggested it to the hubs. He stood in our bathroom with a very large sledgehammer and then took a big swing at the tub. At the last second, i think he doubted that it would really work, and pulled his swing up, overswung and smashed our toilet to smithereens. So that wasn't ideal. But anyway, we regrouped, and the next time he swung, connected with he tub and it worked like magic. I didnt laugh when he smashed the toilet. It was hilarious, but im a good wife and he was realllllly mad. We laugh about it now. Your tub looks very nice. But i just wanted to let you know in case you were still aggravated with the old tub, you have the option of whacking it into shards and removing it that way. A guy who recycles metal was hrilled to come get the buckets of iron.

A wall color is easily changed . If you love Swiss Coffee, fine. Just change the sheen to satin for the cabinets. Why does it need to be Sherwin Williams?. I ( your painter makes more money, that's why) 'd use Ben Moore before SW any day of the week. A better paint by far. You painter is the TECH, not the designer. And for a good finish, the Swiss Coffee should be converted to a conversion varnish, sprayed in a booth, with all proper prep. OFF SITE, except for the cabinet boxes I can't advise on SW as I don't use it.

Thanks for pointing the tile difference out as l agree, l don’t like the pebble at all but husband does and am considering omitting the diamond shape. I’m rushed to choose paint. I haven’t considered using other colors of paint such as blue as my master bedroom is soft gold as is the whole house.

What a neat bathroom. Have you moved on this? If not, here's my two cents for a budget update. I'd leave the floor tile and matching wall tile and the vanity. All are quality and it shows. First, a picture. Something loooong, that extends over most of the wall you see when entering (including over the toilet area). Something airy that coordinates your vanity and tile. Black and white trees for example, a cityscape, something that pleases you. Probably $200 or less. Remove the soffit (if not protecting vents etc.) and don't remove but cut down the pony wall (which becomes a useful shelf ). Those two things will open the room, are not expensive, but will involve drywall repair. Remove the towel bars, hand towel ring and the window trim. Line up new window trim with the tub trim, add necessary trim around mirrors, and maybe a small splurge, add cove molding, paint walls and ceiling and trim (keeping your picture in mind). Change the light fixtures and maybe the sink hardware. If your toilet is worn or uncomfortable, replace it, but be aware the "flush" will be very different (not as good). Hang the shower curtain from a ceiling track and place your long airy picture on entrance facing wall (which you might paint a darker shade). Now you have an updated, spacious room (with an expensive floor and vanity) and you have tested the skill set of your "guy" (for that kitchen work) without investing big $$. Sliding door? How much sound insulation is required? Is the bath located in a hallway? Or located in a room with a door that does close? If so, slide away and enjoy the room.
