Hi there, You need to speak to a good plumber, I don't see you having any trouble with the hot & cold water pipes, these should be removed and then brought down from the ceiling above the new vanity, either recessed into the wall or behind a cabinet or mirror or such. cheers

the copper pipe is gorgeous and reflects the colour of the timber vanity....why paint...wait and see how it reacts to the steam etc you can always paint it in future but hopefully it will only age to an equally interesting dull green verdigris

This may sound blunt , but it is so , so easy -- hide everything in your picture ! Look at the neighbours , a nice door and surrounds , in pleasant colours , with nice timber and bricks . Yours is square and open , with vertical wallboards ( maybe even synthetic or cement based ? ) , battening , a billy basic door and light , a window that is totally different again and even has a different coloured surround to the door ! So yes , change the door , do that whole wall or all 3 in a different finish . Do something about the cracked concrete path -- how about tile with terracota tiles , or white ones with a light blue pattern , right up to the door ? And the pipes -- do a canopy , or a facade in natural timber , or a sloping roof in the same material as your main roof -- hide them . Easier than moving them , and the associated risks implied there . I'm here in New Zealand , and I reckon you could do something including labour , and a door and side panels similar to your neighbours , for around $5000 , or $10,000 would be a real step up above your neighbours look haha . I assume your costs would be in that general range .

Whilst power seems a logical conclusion , what do you know about previous owners/tenants ? Why I ask is that I am in NZ , and I bought an expensive house right on a large lake -- it was at the end of a very long driveway . Turned out there was only 1 phone line installed , and in an area classed as rural ( theres something in NZ which makes it harder for rural areas to get more phone / fax / internet lines -- you have to pay LOTS ) . These days , you'd go wireless ( cell network ) but in those days 22 years ago , that wasn't a thing . So the quote to get a couple more phone lines , a fax line and internet for 400 metres or so down the driveway was literally in the $10's of thousands ! Knowing people , I made a couple of calls , and bought $400 of wire and a couple of long garden hoses , and laid my own cables , using a narrow trenching spade , buried 150-200mm deep , then paid $100 each end to get them connected . Acting on advice , I laid them that close to the surface firstly to save time and even $$ hiring a ditch witch etc ; but also because any problems you just dig up and repair or start again . If the Telecom technician laid the cable , they have to go by the book and lay it 1 metre deep or whatever ; do it yourself and you are responsible -- they ask if you have complied , but as it at your risk , they can't legally ( or maybe don't care ) dig up and check . Probably , if you put on a nice lunch or a dozen cold ones , they would have hooked up a system stapled to the fence posts haha ! So who knows , but thats one explanation .
