Live with it until you save to change them out entirely. Anything you do will look worse in short order.

it look like someone took a vinyl flooring scrap and affixed it to the countertop. I agree that doing anything to improve this in the interim will be a lot of work for a minimal pay off. Wait till you’re ready to do it right.

Live with it. It's functional. Save your money and effort to do a good improvement.

vanities w/sink, countertop and sometimes a mirror, can be had for less than $800. sometimes cheaper.

just replace it.

you can find decent deals on craigslist. Or,

Go to a builders surplus place. 42" is your size? you can prob find one all inclusive for 500 if you aren't too picky.

Then when it comes time to really redo it, sell yours on craigslist for a few hundred.

Otherwise, there is nothing you can do for that countertop. (maybe paint it w/counter paint, and get new hardware. that's about it. not sure how much of an improvement it will be though)

That’s helpful, thank you!

Heres a photo of our current bathroom design. The bathtub is your standard plastic off white one piece bathroom insert. So everything must go haha

Looking to transform this space into a design that incorporates an eclectic/rustic style with hint of glam. We have lots of ochre, sagey blue, blush, emerald and garnet throughout the rest of the house. I love the idea of a colorful tile and we are looking to put in a large tub as well. Any design thoughts from vanities, tile suggestion, paint color, lighting and tubs come to mind??

you're not going to fit a large tub in there, just a regular 5' model.

is this the master en suite?

I like your idea of a colorful tile. You have nice lighting from the window. However, I'd prob convert it to shower only.

this space was Identical to yours and they wanted the tub removed for a shower. no shower doors. we did one glass panel. (not pictured here, but it's almost invisible) So it makes the space seem larger. (this isn't a finished photo, since there are no shelves or mirror)

5' X 33" I believe were the measurements

start compiling the looks you like and add them to your idea book. collect some tile samples, and save your money! These people got a deal for less than 10K, but only because I helped them shop and have a really good GC who can do everything. (they got a new window, new drywall, new lighting, vanity, flooring,,,,this was completely gutted)

The bathroom is actually really long, almost awkwardly so. This is the guest bathroom. The door on the right is the linen closest that’s a really decent size. The master has the same finishes but is twice as big/long.

you may be able to do an inset storage on that wall. depends what's behind, but even if you put shelving between the studs, it's decent.

look at pictures of alternate bathroom storage, or built in storage for ideas.

nice window and tall ceilings. you could do quite a bit in there.

If you don't want to ignore the countertops, try a patterned Contact paper. If it doesn't turn out well, you've only spent $20 and an hour on a couple rolls. Many forms of Contact are easily removable.

Oh what a fun idea! Do you think this will work even though the countertops are not smooth? The “tile” parts are raised even though they are totally fake, so the surface is rather bumpy.

IMO contact paper will look a lot worse than what you have. BTW in my rustic/ glam is not working. As for the rest you have a year to come up with all the ideas to make this space special so start idea books and see what we can do to help. In the meantime think about do you need a tub in this space ?

Alas, Contact paper will not work on bumpy surfaces.

I think it’s looks good as is for now. Maybe just some nice new hardware on the cabinets. to make it feel more pretty to you until do-over time

Also you didn’t say how long until the overhaul but a new mirror and lights can be had for cheap or you can find owns you really love and incorporate them into the new bathroom down the line. I would leave everything else as is though
