The new vanity looks very nice. I wouldn't do a big renovation knowing you won't be there long. Some simple updates might include the light above the vanity, add bamboo blinds that blend with the vanity color and fun art above the toilet.

As long as it is clean and functional, leave it as is.

IMO once you start you open a can of worms and honestly a bandaid solution is probably better not done . So all or nothhing . The blue tile will be damaged when you remove the sink to put in the new vanity so thta says all the blue tile has to go . Waht is in the tub/ shwer area? Not enough info but for a sale very soon clean and leave it alone , 1/2 done will not be better

Which photo shows the new vanity? Has it been installed?

I think the new vanity with old tile is enough. Updating the lighting and mirror is good too but I would stop there

Going by your first photo- ditch the hanging plant, clear the stuff off the floor including the mat, minimize items on the counter , and close rhe lid on tbe toilet!

Jinwpg those items are done when a house is staged for photographs or an open house.

The existing bathroom is fine. I love the tile both on the wall and floor. You don't need to change everything for something generic. Your picture with the blue tile and the vanity looks great --- you've kept the interesting tile, you've removed the old formica counter and increased storage. If the removal of the old sink wrecks the tile behind it, get a decorative tile in the same color family.

Looks great to me . I agree with WestCoast

I would be really mad if someone destroyed that cool old bath in the name of ”resale”.. Its already been remuddled too much, and that vanity does not suit the great mid century style AT ALL. Find something flat panel, like it would have been originally. Restore it. No more remuddling it!

Agree - the most you'd want to change is lighting and maybe mirror although the mirror is period correct.

Towels, shower curtain, bamboo window shade and 2 or 3 staging items on the vanity are all you need.

You say you bought a new vanity but you did not say it has been installed. The photo could be AI. I don't see how you would install without damaging the tile.

Always ask your Realtor. They are familiar with what is in demand for the area. I agree usually do nothing but staging. The next buyer will do what they want anyway.

I would not cover the floor with LVP, savvy buyers will know it's a patch job and wonder what's wrong with the floor underneath.

What does the tile/tub? As long as it's clean + no mildew stains, it will be fine. If you have a steamer for removing wallpaper, you can use it to make the tile/grout look great. Make sure the tub is extremely clean + replace the caulking if it needs it.

ALSO - for about $40, you can deep clean everything (without the hard labor that typically comes with doing it) by using (i) The Pink Stuff paste (sold on Amazon for about $5), and (ii) a rechargeable rotary cleaning tool (also on Amazon). They both work well individually - however, together they will make all of your tile/grout + the tub look great. These two products make it so much easier + makes a HUGE difference - (example, it makes grout look like its original color).

My sister used this to clean tile in her house before she sold it (I helped her) - it made a HUGE difference on the color of the grout on her tile (her home was built in 2003 - it was a large open concept floor plan - and tile was in style instead of wood floors unfortunately).

I guess the price is $6 now:

There are MANY different rotating cleaning scrubbers (this one has almost 25k sales) - the black and pink versions are less than the white for some reason (pink is another $2-3 less):

You will use this to clean many other things!

Is the new vanity the same length as your current one? If not, will there be an issue with the wall tile? I assume that the new vanity will be taller than the existing countertop. If there is an issue with the tile when the current vanity is removed, I would simply remove the tile on the indented wall behind the vanity and paint the wall vs. trying to add a new tile. The indentation of the wall between the toilet and the vanity area provides a perfect place to have the tile end.

If the new vanity is the same length as the existing one, I'd leave the current mirror and just add a frame around it (easy + inexpensive) + add a new light fixture (either a longer one or two light fixtures centered over each sink).

If the vanity isn't as long as the existing one, I'd remove the current mirror and replace it with two individual ones over each sink.

Adding a new window covering would be a good idea (also not expensive).

My experience with realtors has been that they don't hesitate to suggest expensive changes which will make the house sell fast. But the improvments don't necessarily increase the sale price, or not enough to make it worthwhile. They are motivated to get the house sold fast, and the money you spend on improvments comes out of your pocket, not theirs.

Your buyer may consider this bathroom a gut reno, and not be willing to pay you any more for the changes you make. If you put significant money into improvments you will naturally expect to get some back.

I would do exactly this vanity. it's more modern design goes better w/the tile. (leave it alone. many people like retro) I do NOT like your other choice for this bathroom style.

For sure replace the vanity light. and the shower curtain.

I love this vanity and the atomic ranch hardware too.

any type of shower curtain like this MCM or the one below would play up the retro style.

the atomic ranch would look great in your space.

Oh, and that entire mirror has seen better days. remove it and get a new one.

you could even opt for two mirrors and do some mcm style sconces. but that would mean patching and painting and running new electrical.

similar retro styles like yours. notice the pendant lights

add in some simple window molding around the entire window, and repaint all the trim and sill in a brighter white.

the plant is fine, but I'd get a diff one that looks more alive.

over the toilet, a few shelves, decorated properly.

Do NOT paint any tile, and do NOT put LVP over that floor. Play up the retro! it's really wanted by a lot of people today.

just do the vanity as shown above, a new light (a MCM style version) Paint the window and add trim (fill in the holes obviously. you could poss add a pull down shade)

and the other simple suggestions.

Here. do your window trim like this

It's a cute bathroom, you've already done a lot by replacing the vanity. Paint the walls a creamy white, install a natural bamboo roman shade, and update the vanity light.

Crazy what a difference that bamboo shade makes in updating the whole room! Great pic @lisedv
