I remember years ago being in a similar predicament and someone gave me some mirror tiles - I glued them on the the wall and thought I was very clever. They actually did look much better in my eyes. Try not to spend too much - I think everyone's idea of a shower curtain will all the bathroom colours in it would probably be the best option. You'll laugh about it in years to come and you will love the improvements you make over time. Enjoy the moment, unless you're selling soon your ideas will change after living there, so change when you can afford it - who cares it's YOURS. Good luck, it's so rewarding and so much fun. P.S. now we have a small bathroom, wall to wall tiles, dark grey on the floor and white on all the walls with a large grey tile up each opposing wall, tall mirror over the handbasin which reflects the opposite wall then a full length bath with shower over it. It works perfectly and looks great.

Select a basin from a reproduction place, put it upside down on top of the wash stand for a template to cut the hole, get a plumber to do the rest.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Don’t put basin against a wall. It needs some elbow room. if doing a 750 vanity and it has floor space to one side then offset to that side can look nice and balance the vanity, but need a floor plan Bigger than that I would prefer centre as two people can stand either side, his and her (her and her, he and he etc ) sides for counter space

I would attach it to the vanity, it is awkward to try and reach behind you if you attach it to the wall or you could try a freestanding one that you could put anywhere though they might take up a bit of room when space is a bit tight
