I wasn't kidding when I said the bathroom needed it's own post. It's a diva like that.
So, the tile. It's in incredibly good shape and I don't hate the color, though it's a bit overwhelming. It might be workable.
But there's this accent tile all the way around. With swans, or ducks, or something painted on it. I like wildlife and all, but less so on my walls.
Add to this tile, the wallpaper.
Oh, the wallpaper. I cannot handle crazy, floral wallpaper. It sort of give me flashbacks to when my parents bought a house in Virginia. We're pretty sure a crazy cat lady lived there before. There were actual fur balls in the spider webs in the corners of the one plain room. That ended up being my room. Carpets were all different colors, including pink; wacky, floral wallpaper was everywhere and it was just nuts. We spent long nights taking down that wallpaper and I'm about to do it again. At least I'm old enough to drink wine now.
I will, however, give the previous homeowners credit for matching their colors. The blue/greens in the wallpaper match the tile and the rose/pink matches the tub and the toilet.
That's right, they are pink. Or rose, or whatever you want to call it. They're pink. If I haven't mentioned it, I hate pink. Hate it. You'll only see me wear it if I've run out of clean clothes and I only have one pink t-shirt and one pink sweater. Though I do love a burgandy or mauve or wine color, I hate pink. So, that's got to go. We think we can paint or stain or something to the tub to change the color. Not so sure about the toilet. Everything is great shape, it just it a color combo that will make me crazy.
I'm thinking the wallpaper will go first. It's possible, painting the top half of the walls something that works with the tile is the best option. I really don't mind the tile, swans and all.

The wallpaper. It's got to go. We're also thinking about later extending this half wall up to make a shower. Luckily, there is a shower in the basement.

Sorry for the bad lighting in this one, but you can see the intensity of tile versus wallpaper going on in here. Not loving that flooring either, but one thing at a time.
