Consider the effects of color  - dark will darken the room even though it looks classy and, if it gets nicks, the scratches will show the nicks more than a light color (same thing for cabinets). 

I have redone the master bath by putting in a pocket door, subway tile shower, new floor, can light, cabinet, everything really.  

The kitchen has medium colored wood cabinets with brass hardware and green laminate counter tops.

Looking for advice on granite countertops that will look good with White cabinets, Agreeable Gray walls, and a beige-ish floor tile.

Also you will need a flange extension for the toilet waste pipe.Swap out the vanity/faucet, medicine cabinet, and/or light fixtures.

Wall wash with TSP prior to painting if possible,, if the ceilings are flat (not popcorn) wash also, a sponge mop with a towel over it works great and fast..2 buckets one wash one rinse.you wash everything,, doors, trim, floors, cabinets, light fixtures, all windows glass and tracks.Bleach is ok to use but I've found that TSP is best thing to actually REMOVE the nicotine,, you'll be shocked when you see how well it works. 2 Prime, Kilz primer to seal anything your going to paint.3 Remove all blinds, throw them away the plastic retains the odor and they'll be gross anyway.4 Air Ducts if you can reach inside wash out.. then spray Kilz in them as far as you can reach with the system off.
