Bathroom upgrade which is great condition but just outdated

Summary : Looking options which are not labor intensive for bathroom remodel , which is already in great condition.  The option doesn't have to be cheap , but should be less labor intensive

Current Pic :

Longer version :

Bathroom : Great condition , well built , but outdated , needs cosmetic update to make it look modern

Problem statement : Feel bad to rip off everything , found some options online , but I feel the demo videos from these companies don't tell the whole story , so was looking for things that BP members practically used and have feedback on.

Ideas researched so far :

  • Luxury tile like wall panels - so you can install the panel in one go rather than tiling
  • Tile over Tile - of course with some important considerations such as condition of existing tile
  • Reglazing bath tub
  • Painting existing tiles and grouting 
  • Updating all the fixtures , cabinets with high end items

It's not bad.  Just plain.

I'd lose the mirror surrounding the window.

Replace the toilet..

Replace countertop & sink. 

Paint or replace the vanity.

Either frame around the vanity mirror or replace with two if there are dbl sink's.

Upgrade lighting on vanity and ceiling.

Add storage shelves over the toilet.  

Add Robe/towel hooks?

Paint walls a color.

Replace hardware all around including the doors.

Have tub checked for mold.  Those jetted versions sometimes have issues.

Replace shower head with shower tower.  (Too bad you can't expand that and reduce footprint of the tub.)

If there's $, a wall mounted towel warmer could be a nice upgrade.
