Cadie's getting a new bathroom!

We got a super duper deal on a 3 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse. It was ok enough to live in, but needs a little bit of work. For example, the spare bathroom is atrocious. The previous owner painted it this pinkish-purple color and then picked out a matching pink/purple/white faux marble laminate floor. Then, they put this fugly red and gold border up because, you know, it goes so well with pink/purple walls.

Besides being unpleasant to look at, the bathroom has some other issues. The tan tub/shower unit is broken. The faucet jiggles and is being held in the wall by several obvious chaulking attempts. Our neighbor's floor cracked in his, which gives you an idea of the quality.

The only time that bathroom is ever used if we have visitors, which is rare, so we've been living with it. Well, before we found out what we were having, Tom mentioned that if we were to have a boy, he'd consider redoing that bathroom. He didn't want his son to have to use a pink bathroom. I told him if we had a girl, I wouldn't want her to have to use an ugly bathroom, even if it was pink.

We went back and forth on this, whether we'd redo it or not. Well, I'm happy to say that Cadie will not have to use a fugly pink bathroom.

Here's my plan:
Valspar Carolina Inn Aqua
Allen + Roth Vanity and Mirror

Price Pfister Brushed Nickel Bathroom FaucetPortfolio 3-Light Brushed Nickel Vanity Fixture


I am also trying to decide on some sort of tan tile or a slate tile.
The shower curtain will be a floor to ceiling white waffle curtain.
We'll have slate blue and white towels.
