Bathing Beauty

Well not yet - but we have met with a contractor and have plans to give our downstairs full (but tiny) bathroom a face lift...

Current bathroom pics -
Ugh - yucky floor, 1970s toilet, and that gorgeous orange caulk
My personal pet peeve - these faux legs the previous owners added to the sink
The 1950s black and white tile and tub
Due to the way homes were built in the 50s - to tear out the tile (attached to the sheet rock) and gut the bathroom would be a huge undertaking and boohoo bucks...so we have decided to keep the retro feel but add a few modern touches while staying within our budget...

The Plan:
1) Tile the floor (we are leaning towards white marble - it's a small space so we can splurge a little)
White Grecian Marble

2) New Toilet
The Kohler Wellworth - sure to be more efficient that the current groovy 70s model

3) Pedestal Sink (needs to be under 18" - yes this bathroom is tiny)
St Thomas Junior Pedestal Sink
Delta Faucet - Lahara Chrome
4) New Lighting and Mirror - still looking but thinking Black finishes to complement the black and white retro wall/bathtub tiling

These are the fundamental changes that Briguy has agreed to - of course I'm going to want to schnaze up the space with wallpaper, paint, window treatments, bathmats, etc

Details/Inspiration Images to come...
