IMO leaving it is probably the best choice , add some blur towels , in fact I would leave the whole space other than the wall paper until you are ready to redo.

Thanks, Patricia. Unfortunately I can't leave it as is as the 60" vanity is a very low custom height ( previous owner was 4' 11"). Cabinet is too short for comfortable use and replacing it means flooring needs to go too.

Why can't you just replace this with a taller vanity? 60" is a fairly standard length.

Yes, it's a very standard size. I also wouldn't mess with the tile till you plan to do the whole tub area.

Can you remove the bullnose and the blue tile from the wall and whatever is behind the vanity and just leave that one strip alone since it is harder to remove...You will have to put a new bullnose or even a simple chair rail to cover the exposed edge of the tile.... then paint , do new floor and vanity... or even leave the floor - just regrout it for now....

Good luck.... just removing the wall paper is a great way to start!

Thanks. Yes- it’s a standard width size, but the base is not a standard depth. When we remove the vanity it looks like there is going to be a gap between the floor tile and new cabinet.

Good idea, Debbi. I’d really like to get rid of the blues altogether if I can, go a totally different palette. I saw one DIY project where they ground out the grout with a dremel and removed a border tile so that’s one idea. It may cost slot to have someone do it though, and i’m Not brave enough to do it myself.

There are tutorials online showing how to paint your tile. Since it won't have a lot of exposure to water, you could probably make do with painting it a color you're going to use in the room until you're ready to replace it. You can use a white grout pen to redefine the grout lines after you're finished.

Maybe redo your window treatment to something more streamlined, get rid of the upper border of the wallpaper, get some white towels and see how it looks.
