Our half bath has been the bane of my existence since we moved here. We've started it and then stopped this project SO.MANY.TIMES. Things move slow around here but the unfinished nature of the space has me really wanting to have it finished by the holidays. We painted the walls a dark green (Benjamin Moore Salamander) that reads so beautiful-even on our textured walls. I wanted to go dark with this room since it's so small and I felt that we needed a room downstairs that really popped. Our plan is to lay down white (matte) penny tile on the floors. We currently have horrible looking linoleum from the early 90's and it's got to go. In our laundry room update, we also used penny tile and it was super easy to work with and cut so we figured that it was the best option for this space as well.
For the wall, we plan on installing ship-lap that extends all the way up the wall where the vanity and toilet sit. I'm also thinking of painting the baseboard trim the same green as the walls so that the floors really stand out. We aren't planning getting rid of the current vanity but I DO want to switch out the fixture on the sink. I'm a little nervous about incorporating multiple metals (matte black and brass) but I think once the light fixture and mirror are installed, it will all pull together nicely. Here are some inspiration pictures I pulled that I will be relying on heavily as we finish this space!

So, here's our to-do list as it stands now:
Lay down tile
Cut, Paint, and Install Shiplap
Change out light and sink fixtures
Hang mirror & Art
Install baseboard trim and floor vent
Replace builder grade door and update with matte black hardware
This will be my focus over the coming weeks and I can't wait to show it to you!!
