My vision for the 1/2 bathroom is light and refreshing - basically, the theme for the entire house. But we didn't want to spend too many bucks in this room and I thought if we saved the vanity and marble countertop then we'd be in good shape. Little did I know that obstacles we would encounter in this very small room...more on that later.
Here are some ideas that are rolling around in my head:

I thought our vanity just need a nice coating of Glidden’s semi-gloss Dove White to brighten it up so it could look similar to this vanity from Restoration Hardware.

And since the vanity is so long, I wanted a big, dark mirror above the sink. But instead of the silver faucet finish in this example, I would use an oil-rubbed bronze faucet and lighting to pick-up the dark mirror and colors of the marble.

Then I’ve toyed with the idea of repeating the slate tile in our foyer for the bathroom floor. I didn’t want the same type of slate, but something darker to give the room a natural and peaceful look.
So that’s my small vision in a nutshell. All of our bathrooms need renovated and the ½ bathroom was actually the least of our concerns. However, we decided to start here because we figure if we messed-up, it would be less expense to have hire someone to come in and fix a ½ bathroom as opposed to a full bathroom. Fixing the wall where we removed the tile will be the next challenge. Stay tuned!
