Were I to give in & retile...

Were I to retile I'd.....

Tear out all the tile and add beadboard all around the room a bit higher than where the tile was. This will avoid messing with sheet rock and also can go over where the door was. Add a bit of a ledge on the top, enough to fit a tea light or rest a picture, like you did on McCommas. $700 plus $300 for removing the door

Replace the vanity with a new double sink vanity like this one by PB. $2100! I'd hope to get it cheaper

Tile the shower area with white square tiles with gray grout. I think I'd need to do square since the floors tiles are square? But maybe border the tile with (black?) subway tiles. $700

If I can get a vanity to cover the old vanity area, to the floor , I can avoid retiling the floor.

Reseal the original tub. $500

Replace the tub hardware & add sink hardware. $500

Add new chrome shower rod $200

Large simple mirror (with storage from the vanity you'd not need a medicine cabinet $100

New towel racks & toilet paper $100

I have sconces here I can bring and also will bring an antique small crystal chandler.


Total around 5k........

Something to chew on.

If I did not to the library, just the window book case. And if I did not do the office nooks in the living room then I could do this.

I'm quite torn. I'd really love to find a way to make due with the current bathroom set up and just do the door removal and cosmetic changes. I might rather have the library....
