Decorating Resolutions

Last year we did some major changes in our home, the biggest one being our family room where we installed new floors and painted.  We also spruced up our bedroom with a faux fireplace and then I completely changed our bonus room. ( which reminds me I still have to show you the whole room yet. : ) To top it off, my daughter and son got a room revamp as well.

Wow I was crazy!

I was thinking about what I wanted to do this year.

We are running out rooms to completely redo but there does remain one.

Our "big" bathroom that really isn't so big.
This room has haunted me since we moved in and I put it off every year, only changing accessories. 

It is narrow and consists of about a 3 x 7 foot area that you can walk in.  There is a huge vanity, a tub and of course the toilet.

The floor is made up of the sticky linoleum tiles that worked well at the time but are now starting to peel up.
Here is a look.

Very small!

Too much vanity!
Notice that the knobs are gone on the drawers by the door?
Either the door or our knees would hit them and they eventually broke off.

The door takes up too much space when open.
A pocket door would be perfect.
Trying to fit two kids and me in there is not fun in the morning.

SO here are some ideas that I have been ooohing and aaahhing over.

I would love to open it up with a pedestal sink and mirror like this.
(I actually really love this bathroom)

I would also like tile such as this or the smaller octagonal shapes and subway tile half way up the wall or even beadboard.

And of course a clawfoot tub which I am pretty sure that that won't happen because I don't even think that you can fit it into the room unless you blow out a wall.
Hhhmmmmmm.........

These are the colors that I am leaning towards, something serene yet beachy.

I also need to finish up painting the the stairway wall that leads up to the bonus room and possibly doing something with the stairs themselves.  Right now they have carpet on them.  I am also going to re-re-repaint my entryway/laundry room.  It is a mud brown and I will just brighten it up with the white that I have used throughout the house.  

The last two will be easy fixes and I am not even sure when  the bathroom will get started because we want to do some landscaping this year as well.
