Put a glass shelves above the sink then put a medicine cabinet which you can put it inside the wall then put a towel ring on the right wall.

Thanks mdarocha, I have a mirror for over the sink that matches the vanity. I like glass shevles, what about glass shelves over the commode?

Lookin' good. But, I have to admit I'd like to see the top half of the wall a very light (but same shade) as the lower wall. It seems the colors are bit off, yet similar. The bottom/top/sink. Cool idea with the metal roofing wainscoting!

This may be a bit late, as it's already installed, but it seems like your TP holder is a little low to just turn right, grab and unfurl. Would the other side work better to get it a little higher?

Actually, when you are sitting on the throne, you don't have to turn. Swing your right hand back and its right there. But I really prefer to reach back without having to look and grab the whole roll. Then return when the paperwork is done.

Darzy, good point on the color. Maybe I'll take a piece of the roofing to the paint store to get the light shade right.

Ha ha, howzzjoe! This may have something to do with the size of the regent on the throne. I'm under 5', so reaching for everything is part of my every day existence. I need a step stool to get past the lowest shelf in my kitchen cabinets. :)

nw, the current regent may be somewhat of a knuckle-dragger, but he is willing to install a second rung, how long do we have before your visit? :)

I'm thinking you may want to just wait for a princess to visit before making changes? Chances are good she will be taller. :)

Do the upper and lower colors work together right?

I think the before color worked better, especially with the tile (both trim and floor). Bring the border tile to the paint store!
