I did not realize that only poor people could post here. You call me a snob, you are acting like one. I guess it's just hard to hear that some people have money when you are obviously not doing very well. Maybe you should get some psychological help for your issues with people who are doing better than you. I am a counselor and would be willing to work on a sliding acale if you have trouble affording therapy. Just a thought. Are you actually telling me that doctors and "experts" are never wrong about these things. C'mon! If that doctor is so sure about his little fan, why continuously test the house anyway? Because it is a dangerous situation and he is not so dumb as to blindly trust a little fan! Do some research on the subject and don't just accept what people, you don't know, tell you. $800 a month in taxes? Are you kidding? Is there anyone else who actually pays that little in taxes? I can imagine what the schools are like there! Does every grade share the same teacher in the one room schoolhouse? Or are your taxes just low because you don't have the doublewide? I almost spit out MY coffee when you posted that! This forum is obviously some sort of a clique and outsiders are unwelcome. Sorry to bother everyone with my nonsense. I will look elsewhere and get help from people who are less judgemental and more knowledgeable about the world outside of your insulated little towns. Some advertisement for people from Atlanta! I will make sure never to move there if this is what the people are like! Besides, don't they have a very high crime rate there? Wouldn't want to bring my kids into that area." And that's what I like to refer to as "True Colors". :P I could go through it point by point and argue each egregious misquote and inconsistency, but I think my original assessment that your temperament, as displayed on this thread, necessitates that you rent for any kind of peace of mind or happiness, is probably the best line to stick with at this point. I have no problem being blunt and opinionated. I've also noticed that people react with anger when you present them with a truth that they're not interested in hearing. Whatever. There are good places to live all over the world; and I think it's blind arrogance to assume that money buys it,(along with happiness) and honey, I am by no means poor or uneducated-ask the government, who's really enjoying gobbling up my hard earned money, and the loan people, who are quite happy with the number of decades I went to school. And calling Gardenweb "cliquish" when some of the posters have the temerity to question you, how rude of us! Taking a pot shot like that at me and Gardenweb when you have a psychology degree-really, darlin', you should know better than that. I do hope you find some happiness with your home search, but I think (and of course we all know this is MY opinion) you need to find a little zen in your life.

Just painted my daughters bathroom pale gray. Looking for idea for window treatment and wall accessory. The vanity is a navy blue.

You really need to talk to a seasoned real estate agent. Your market, perhaps even neighborhood specific, will determine what buyers expect. Some locations have cooled off while others are so hot that anything not defective still sells immediately. Higher end buyers want their own style and don't want to pay for someone else's taste. Financially struggling buyers might want updates because they may not have improvement funds after a home purchase. If it was 2019 and your vanity was good looking in person, I would suggest finding a stone remnant counter with new under mount sink and nice modern faucet. A new sleek light fixture can be a small investment that makes a big impact. A few years ago, I did numerous updates like these plus lots of pro painting and landscaping. I knew I wouldn't get the cost back but did it so my house would be more competitive in that existing market and not sit unsold for long. Lipstick on my pig was done well and didn't look like a cheap fix from the big orange store.

I like the open vanity so that you can see the floor beneath it. It makes the room feel bigger than it is. I would just lighten it up with white paint and a new white countertop. I’d also hang pretty curtains, possibly cafe curtains, so that you have privacy but still have light coming in. I’d hang canvas art above the toilet with an image you love to look at to give the room some of your personality. I’d paint the walls white and use white curtains to bounce the maximum amount of light around the room.
