Purrus, I can see why you are keeping the floor. It's very nice. As for the vanity, if you'll be painting the walls like the link below I'd paint it black satin. White would be too stark, I think. Though you do have the white floor tiles. Just a thought that popped into my head. In thinking more (that always scares my hubby) I'd say white might work best with the white top and sink. Yeah, that's what I think. Maybe I should go to bed before I mess you up even more.
Naw. I'll confuse you a few more times first. I really like the mirror and the thingy over the toity. Think I'd get some masking tape and that real shiney silver spray paint. Painting all that's gold silver and leaving the rest on the cabinet thingy white. If it's white. If not paint it white. Well that's my idea. I'm not telling you, you "have" to paint it white. Or silver for that mater.
Then I'd get a couple real furry like rugs in black or maybe a really bright blue. Yeah electric blue! One for in front of the sink and you have to have a funky one around the toity.
OK, that's enough messin' with ya. If you want a shower curtain to hide the door on the shower, go for it. If you can remove the shower door, if you don't want it at all that is, then do so.
Good night! I'm at the point of no return and I desparately need sleep!
P.S. I'm not taking time to proof so I hope at least the parts I wanted to make sense, do.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks, justgotabme! I could see the vanity totally going either way, and not sure which will look the best. I'm sure I won't get to this on day one so I'll have a bit of time to think on it. I think black would probably be a little hipper.

I also love the cabinet and mirror--they are so unusual, especially the shape of the cabinet! I have no idea what color would look best for those, but I feel like they should be the same. I do like the idea of silver, but also black....I don't know!

I would do the cabinet in black, which would then be fun with the white top as a compliment to the black and white floor (which is great). I would get pewter knobs for the cabinet, and do the mirror in a pewter finish.

Tho I love the stripe wall effect, I am not so sure about it with the floor. I think I would do a plain taupe wall color and then bring in some fun with the accent color - justgotabeme suggested electric blue, but I would be inclined with the black, white and taupe to do a nice green, something that says zen-nature-rest.

I would not keep the cabinet over the toilet. It feels wrong for the style of the room. I would find a great place in the house for it, and instead spring for a couple of black ledge shelves or floating glass shelves for that area.

You can use a shower curtain over the glass doors. Think something in a green and white botanical, then green towels and rug on the floor. A black and white vase from IKEA or Pier 1 with a large tropical leaf or two in it to sit on the back of the toilet (and always have the lid down for a nicer look - that is why lids were put on toilets LOL)

No idea what the lighting is in there, but maybe paint the existing fixture with the same pewter, or black.

Since you sound like you do intend on doing a complete bathroom remodel down the road, I would paint the vanity and mirror a bright cheerful color. With the builders grade sink and faucet, something colorful would add punch. A white or black cabinet would be so sterile looking, and then black/white floor would not be the great *accent* in the room that it has the potential to be.

I would get a shower curtain with a predominant Apple Green or Turquoise design and match the vanity to it with high gloss paint. Add an accent with towels in Tangerine or Sunshine.

Paint the walls Ivory to highlight the crisp white of the floor and the porcelain fixtures.

Love that floor! I think I'd paint the vanity something other than black or white, especially since it's so expected. What's your fav color? A bright color, also used elsewhere, would give the room some pop and if you don't like it down the road you're only out a small amount of $ for paint. Maybe find a shower curtain or print for the room first, then pull your colors from it.

I have that same floor in our hall bath. Painted our double vanity a matte black, it looks fabulous. Vanity top is a beige-y/marble-ish, with white sinks. Had to keep it. We had the flat frameless mirror, I trimmed it out with wood trim from Lowe's and painted it the same matte black as the vanity cabinet. Walls are soft yellow gold, used Waverly window curtain panels from Target as my shower curtain, black background with subtle floral print in golds, greens,a little purple. Sounds odd, looks pretty.

Oh boy I wish there were a way to edit ones posts here. I was so tired last night I was down right dingy. So sorry.
In looking at that neat cabinet again, I'm wondering if going with a Bohemian look might work?

Les, I was joking about the electric blue. Overtired sleepiness the cause.

I'm nodding in agree with with all the suggestions being made. I love the beige and white stripes, but not with your flooring, which I love. Maybe a solid color such as RH's silver sage?

Since it is just a temporary fix, I would keep the thing that is over the toilet, paint it and rehang it lower on the wall.

Yes, you can use a shower curtain with a shower stall. They sell shower stall curtains that are longer but not as wide as curtains for bathtubs. But maybe a good cleanup and refreshing of the shower door would make you like it better?

I love the tiles and would definitely want to work with them!
My thoughts on the rest of it:
--I do not like the cabinet in that bathroom...I think it looks somehow odd to have a mirror on that wall and ALSO a cabinet so close together. I'd opt for a plain black shelf over the toilet.
--Please do not be offended, but I think a different mirror would look better in the bathroom. Personally I would do a large rectangular mirror.
--I'd paint the cabinet a shiny black and use antiqued brass hardware, except you probably do not want to change out your chrome faucets and sink. In that case, I would use chrome or brushed nickel hardware.
--Tan would be a lovely wall color! Light grey would work as well, and I also think a lemon yellow would be pretty if you wanted a "surprise".

If you want to do the striped wall, I'd use go with grays instead of beige. I'd also take down the cabinet and change the mirror for a rectangular one as someone suggested.

If you're going w/ the shower curtain I'd take down the door. I like the idea of finding the fabric shower curtain first and then pulling your color scheme from there. I think it's excellent advice, I've most often done it the other way around and caused myself headaches.

I would do what les917 said, with just a couple of changes.
Yes, cabinet in black.
No stripes with your fabulous flooring. But, I would put a shaggy white rug there instead of les's green idea. And I like jennava's idea about a colorful shower curtain (with just a touch of black in it).
Paint the mirror and cabinet over the toilet white - they will look so much better against a solid background with fresh paint. I think you could have a real jewel box there. :)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all of your suggestions!

I am listening to everything you are all saying here. I will probably go through a series of trial and error steps...beginning with a thorough scrubbing of the whole thing. I then want to paint the walls a pale pale pale silvery aqua and any trimwork white (baseboards, window casings). The vanity cabinet will be black.

I will start out by painting the mirror white. I would like to find a rectangular mirror that is framed with mirror as well for a more glamorous and shimmery effect--but for now, we have to buy new furnace/AC and get all of our hardwood floors refinished right after closing, so I can't buy a bunch of little stuff like that. Also it will take me some time to find what I am looking for, which has evolved into something rather specific.

I will also experiment with that cabinet. I see what some of you are saying, that it looks odd right by the mirror. I'll start out painting it white, but if it doesn't work I'll use it elsewhere. I am sure I can find some white floating shelves or something like that.

Sounds like I have a plan! Oh, and I'm going to live with the doors for awhile and see how I feel. I just hate those tiny shower stalls...much prefer bath/shower combo or one of those newfangled huge shower units.
