The Worst Bathroom in Blacksburg

These are pictures of the half bath off the foyer area. It is blah, boring, ugly, and very blah, not to mention cramped and laid out in a very ridiculous arrangement. The door doesn't even open all the way; it actually bumps into the sink. Who does something like that . . . . and then leaves it that way for decades? They weren't always old, so that can't be the excuse. The linoleum is the same horrid stuff that was in the laundry room. And the walls and fixtures give beige a bad name. This sort of decor is the reason beige fell out of favor a few decades ago and is only now being rediscovered . I can't wait to rip this whole room apart. Not yet sure what the floor tile will be, but I think i have decided on the wall tile and fixtures. the wall behind sink and toilet will be the marble slivers shown in this picture:


And the sink and toilet will be these or something similar:










What is it about things that are square that I like so much???? The sink can be situated more toward the right so that the existing door can open unobstructed, but we will probably end up having a pocket door put in so that it won't be so cramped.

Whoo! I like the square stuff, too. The tile slivers look like a lot of work to install but I suppose they come already segmented together? Either way, I know you're up to it, Renovationbloviatrix!
