Rental Dilemmas: My Basic Beige Bathroom

<div style="text-align: center;">There is a part of my apartment that you all haven't seen much of, and that's my bathroom.<br />Functionally, my bathroom is perfect. Firstly, it's giant. It's got a large soaker tub, a huge shower, and a decent sized vanity. There is also a large window so I have ample natural light. The layout is also ideal, and the fact that I don't have to share it is pure bliss.<br /><br />Aesthetically...it needs a bit of work. There is nothing really <i>wrong</i> with the way it looks. It's <i>fine</i>. My instinct as a designer is to replace all the tile with something fabulous and paint the vanity blackt, but let's face it, this is a rental and the fixed elements are not changing. Not only would my landlord say no, it also doesn't make sense for me from a financial perspective. But, I am thinking I could spruce it up for around $100. <br /><br />Take a look at its current state:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2yRePW80Mq74bw0QV0UIr37MUMZept9VKb0nAeBCwUYkZSX5YcoXOXzb0r_iLnFEm-5rWzwcI7ax5-DgvbU0gf2ivFOF-ZEznm01ekjloovsWv4ONk1YtNgEOhf0q18QDXFYD3zreVs/s1600/039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2yRePW80Mq74bw0QV0UIr37MUMZept9VKb0nAeBCwUYkZSX5YcoXOXzb0r_iLnFEm-5rWzwcI7ax5-DgvbU0gf2ivFOF-ZEznm01ekjloovsWv4ONk1YtNgEOhf0q18QDXFYD3zreVs/s1600/039.JPG" /></a></div>^ Call me crazy but I actually kind of like the light fixture. I know it's super outdated, but it reminds me of an old Hollywood starlet dressing room. Things I don't love (but cannot change), are the  plain mirror, the counter top, faucet, light oak vanity colour, and the boring beige tile floors....so pretty much everything.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVVK2VlfNOF9q30n67vndhtT1FI3N9E3eZSsBR1x031C18tAqPzDnuddGG9Rq3i4frodzdOeIAMedhlC7U0XZVo4jUhB1mpHCfSGIktaPufDqiVLHonYlZ1tvs8nTkwYhqIIoWWUES4VQ/s1600/046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVVK2VlfNOF9q30n67vndhtT1FI3N9E3eZSsBR1x031C18tAqPzDnuddGG9Rq3i4frodzdOeIAMedhlC7U0XZVo4jUhB1mpHCfSGIktaPufDqiVLHonYlZ1tvs8nTkwYhqIIoWWUES4VQ/s1600/046.JPG" /></a></div>^ I do like the toilet.

I put my black and white pillow down to get an idea of how it would look, and I'm liking the contrast:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLq9A7qAH7I_DtBM1hb3ol4EtaUPd4rooF-JoSExrGCKzrbNUCzPGFJPK5bnxp1MX-D6eCqO-aWFp9Ehby2jF-fPIEU9TuJFtfuGe4RBvjK_rVHTL8Qj6xzD7pp8wJITa3S7sMe6rB4w/s1600/048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLq9A7qAH7I_DtBM1hb3ol4EtaUPd4rooF-JoSExrGCKzrbNUCzPGFJPK5bnxp1MX-D6eCqO-aWFp9Ehby2jF-fPIEU9TuJFtfuGe4RBvjK_rVHTL8Qj6xzD7pp8wJITa3S7sMe6rB4w/s1600/048.JPG" /></a></div>I also think that the black and white help to make the fixed elements feel more 'goldy', which I like.<br /><br />I also know that I can't change the mirror, but lately I've been seeing a lot of 'mirror on mirror' in bathrooms.... I wonder if there is a way I could put my octagonal mirror on top of this one in a non-permanent way....<br /><br />Lastly, I'd add some chic accessories, and paint and hang a couple of abstract black and white paintings. I did a quick twenty minute brainstorming sketch:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Ha1m_DaMb6EQCXQrzeAkwqEsAUTXD7eegQ0eYclAesb7H3av2xjPc1oWue1VPRwnuqVpVYWM-h2F55x9U5YCIWhkiTmUR47DqKJKQf1iEOP0DGgZiNh-EsMdRDve1asACFDyDOCJUaE/s1600/053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Ha1m_DaMb6EQCXQrzeAkwqEsAUTXD7eegQ0eYclAesb7H3av2xjPc1oWue1VPRwnuqVpVYWM-h2F55x9U5YCIWhkiTmUR47DqKJKQf1iEOP0DGgZiNh-EsMdRDve1asACFDyDOCJUaE/s1600/053.JPG" /></a></div>What do you guys think?<br />xox<br /><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>

Art for my Music Loving Boyfriend

<div style="text-align: center;">I don't think I've told you yet, but M. is an amazing musician - singer, songwriter, plays the piano. Really, could I be any luckier? I love listening to him play music. He's recording some new stuff right now, and I can't wait for the day I can share it with all of you! In the meantime, I noticed two spaces recently that featured art that I think my music loving boyfriend would like.
