thanks to all who have posted so far, especially Eric. We can probably save/budget down the road for a kitchen redo, or do part of it ourselves. Additions would be a little harder for us except finish work (floors, tile, etc. Can do drywall even but would need to find time to do it). What that kitchen has is a U shaped layout, not too bad except there are overhanging cabinets between a small dining/family space and the kitchen. It's a counter/pass through kind of setup where someone can sit at stools and talk with the person in the kitchen....except the cabinets hang down so the person in the kitchen has to look under them. We would likely tear those out and relocate the stovetop to the perimeter wall and make that pass through an island. Then that entire space could become kitchen/dining. It is possible we could still move out a wall on that (kitchen) side of the house down the road too, we are in Hawaii so all the construction costs are much, much higher than mainland. So jealous of all the posters here who can put on a large extension for less than 50K. Plan A or Plan B will cost us about the same. We don't plan to sell and move anytime soon, but should we need to we're leaning toward sq. footage instead of just extending current bath and upgrading the kitchen. Our neighborhood is about 20 years old so people are beginning to redo those rooms as the fixtures and appliances are ageing. We redid all the appliances about three years ago with stainless finishes, new faucet/sink, and redid the countertop Corian, so the kitchen is livable - just need to clear out some clutter and make smarter usage on available storage space. We could paint or restain the cabinet doors to freshen it up. A few neighbors are creating the "big bang" kitchen now but I'm not certain a 70K upgrade will improve the value that much as a new neighborhood is planned about 5 miles away within the next couple of years. Would we love to live in a "WOW" kitchen, of course. But as with most people we have to make a decision on where it is best to spend the money for now. We could feasibly also add on a 2nd story in future years, but we prefer the single story and if we age-in-place as planned, the new bath will include wide accesses and no-curb shower.

I would look for art that is large and squarish for just over the tub portion. Then i would find a shelf or two of some kind to go over the toilet. not an ugly cabinet, but something that will fill the space but not compete with the art.

You can use a light fixture that is as large as the space it will go in minus a few inches, but do try to get something that looks proportional to the space. Same goes for the mirror. I don't know why people are going toward the framed mirror look unless it's just that keeping the builder-grade cut mirrors isn't something most people are inclined to do in a renovation due to any damage that may have occurred over years of use. Take a look at Toto sinks. They have some nice finishes. Read reviews of any particular sink you might select, as some wear better than others. Wayfair and Amazon are good places to find sink reviews.

chriskim,,,was going to say exactly that. take out that window and raise the shower head. Tile all the way up. you could also put in a handheld w/a sliding option. I did one in mine. (ignore the bullnose marks on this pic) The shower head I got didn't come w/a long arm. I had to get a different brand and went w/the 12" extension. the head also tilts. handheld can slide up or down. I got one valve that controls BOTH (make sure you look into that) and can have both on simultaneously on this one we gave them a larger window. you might think about this for yours wish I had a better pic of this one to show you the window. This shower was enlarged, which is why the window is now off center. it's also a slider. make sure the tile person waterproofs it well. you can tile all around the window.
