Can't afford to properly rip out this hideous vanity and built-in shelf for a couple years (our bathroom on bottom left), so I'd like to do a small fun budget remodel so we can live with it until then.

Here are my ideas-

-we already own the owl toothbrush holder.

-I'd like to paint the cabinet dark gray and get chrome hardware (as in bottom right)

-change out the vanity lights for these steel ones

-get this whitewashed mirror to replace med cabinet

-have my husband build floating shelves.

-The walls would be painted a light blue-grey.

-Also love the rug in the bottom right.

-That ugly white shelf would have woven baskets on the shelves that fit snugly, and a big plant on top. Maybe a tray with soap, etc.

Do you think this could work? I love gold hardware but think that will go out of style quick. Love the oil-bronzed hardware more but it seems to all be very expensive, and then I'd have to change faucet, shower hardware and towel bars as well.
