olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A. Menn Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you for reading this far. :)

I would do art above the toilet. I personally think the shelves make the area look too (top) heavy and cluttered. With your cabinet and it looks like medicine cabinet do you need more storage from open shelving? You can find pretty framed at a lot of places. I would go with a silver leaf. For art try art.com. There are also several shops on Etsy that have some beautiful framable prints. Often they will customise them for you by color. I would do a nice matting within the frame of white.

I would probably try to do vertical stripe patterns on anything in that room to make it look taller, and definitely get a shower curtain that goes all the way to ceiling instead of the standard 72" ones because that will just lower the ceiling in an already small bathroom, but that's just my opinion.

@la_la Girl Thanks for responding. Many of the choices are either busy via matching floor and wall tile or smaller tile like 8-9 inch hexagon on the wall or floor (I'm personally not a hex fan). We're considering a lighter version of the current floor tile (the one on the left in this picture). But then I don't know if that'd make the bathroom a little too boring with the shower tile and if the undertone still works as well?
