talking about cheapo bathroom reno... what can i do?

I have a totally 80s bathroom.

Don't mind the barbie dolls hanging on the shower doors...

i want to take down shower doors and use a curtain. (i am on STRIKE from cleaning those suckers anymore. Chat Icon )

get a cheapo vanity and sink (the current faucets are put on backwards).

somehow paint the stupid laminate storage.

find a better light fixture (hoping that i can cover whatever holes are already up there)

can't do anything about the gigantic medicine cabinet, i am sure that it's not tiled back there correctly, or would it be?

new toilet too, but think i need the same shape?

holy gray man!!!

please suggest ...

The pics are kinda small and hard to see, but maybe you can frame the storage with moulding to give it a craftsman/cottage look.

If you don't want to remove the shower door (less of a remodel) you can probably just put up a shower curtain in front of it.

A little paint and new fixtures goes a long way!

do you have bigger pics. kind of hard to see everything.

But I would start by taking down the shower doors like you said you wanted to do and put up a curtain you like and paint the walls. Then take it from there. It looks like a bathroom that needs to be warmed up and I know you love color. So go for it girlie! Chat Icon

When we redid our bathroom its really not that expensive for a toilet, new vanity, you just have to find someone to put them in for a reasonable price

There are a lot of things you can do. We removed our shower doors and use a curtain. It was really easy to do.

I can't tell if you have tiled walls or not, but you can absolutely hang up a new medicine cabinet.

To paint laminate, you can use something like this.

A new bowl and faucet are cheap and like another poster said, you just need someone that will install it cheap.
