These are current options

FYI - current toilet is 20" wide at top and new will be 15" so it won't look so crowded.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had thought about going up like your first pic but then thought the same that on all walls might feel tight- it's only 5x5 in there.

Shamelessly posting to my own dilemma for more opinions? Help I'm being indecisive!

I like the brick.

planking. the floor will add a lot. maybe do floor first and re-examine later.

Yeah good idea - I probably should decide after the floor but I'm trying to minimize time with toilet out of room that can't go in til wall or walls done. Can't wait to lose that pinkish tile - I still have a kitchen full of it too.

houw about continuing the tile up?

Whole wall? Hmmm that's something to think about

If you are going for farmhouse, I like the wood more than the fake brick. Will the sewing machine be the base of the sink? Its a cool touch. Are you doing a copper faucet to match the pennies?

A few years ago my husband put down a wood floor in our powder room and took out the linoleum. Our house was built in 1983. We put in a new toilet and a white pedestal sink. It really looks so much better than what we had which was a blue toilet and sink. I still love how he updated it.

Good point that's why I was going white on back wall to highlight the singer part. I decided to do chrome hardware modern faucet to the left of bowl and underneath since it will be seen. The pennies actually match in color to my laminate flooring that leads to bath so hoping it's more subtle mixing in lots of dark one too. I'm only gonna reference the copper in the mirror and light - maybe. I tweak as I go

Flooring next to bathroom.

I do not care for the penny tiles. Are they actual pennies? I love the use of the sewing machine base. I'm glad the new toilet will be narrower. Is it ADA height? That would be best. I would use the white small hex tiles with either black or dark blue hex tiles interspersed to go about 4 inches in from the walls to form a border. Use white porcelain subway tile in a running bond pattern horizontally along the whole back wall behind the sink & toilet to about five feet up with a tile chair rail border. Grout with the black or dark blue grout and hang a round mirror (that is beveled) which will be almost the width of the sewing cabinet that is framed in an iron edging hung with chain (which matches the finish on your faucet you will use). Hang it from about 7 feet up the wall. Add light sconces on either side of the mirror. Check Lamps Plus 'sale' for the sconces.

Great idea to do copper finish to match the tile! I like the planks but I wish they could be barn wood. I suggest looking at flooring with a weathers look to use on your wall, easy to care for and a great variety of colors. I just think the high contrast between the dark floor and the white walls will be too intense. Also look at tin ceiling panels as they come in a lot of finishes now and would bring in a texture to complement the floors. Good luck!

Not sure what ADA height is? The tank will be about as high as marble top. We have a odd rough in so I'm limited on toilet choices. I am sticking with the actual pennies as it cost just pennies (ha) and they are going over the ceramic which is on a slab and I'm not taking out. I'm
Just trying to decide on walls.

I like the plank walls! And the penny tile, I love!!

Since they go so well with your adjoining floors the pennies will be great. ADA height is a taller long toilet which should fit for everyone. Ask about it where you buy the toilet. I just always suggest the ADA height for everyone when they replace a toilet. ADA means American Disability Act.

Adding the white subway tile is also not costly. As I looked at your space I would also add it over to the door frame. (you could use it just from above the sink base to carry up about two feet & over to the door casing.) Good wall protection.
