The toilet looks simple and contemporary, does it need to be replaced? The problem areas with it may be obscured in the photo, but once you update the other items on the list it may look great.

I would replace the cabinet.

I would keep the cabinet and replace the top and hardware so you could have the undermount sink. You will probably lose the use of one of the shelves, but the vanity will be instantly revitalized. I am currently debating the same issue and have decided that since my cabinets are in really good condition, a new top, faucet and hardware are going to make the cabinets look brand new.

if you want an undermout sink, is it possible to keep the cabinet, but remove the countetop and sink and replace with a solid surface and the sink of your choice? Unless the cabinet is damaged or terribly worn and can't be fixed I'd keep it. Save yourself a few bucks and keep it out of a landfill.

I'd save it

I'd just replace the sink and counter and leave the cabinet. It's not too big for the space (my bathroom had a behemoth of a vanity when we moved in...) and looks like it's in good condition. You could change out the hardware (long bars maybe) and paint it or cut out the center of the doors for an inset (assuming it's wood and not melamine). If it is melamine, sherwin williams sells a special primer for those so you can still paint them.

That said, they do make less deep options that may open up the space in there. FYI- check if the back legs of any new vanity will fit over existing baseboards or if you'll need to cut them...I didn't do this before hand and my vanity still has a 1/4 inch gap between the back and the wall...it's on my list...lol

We have actually replaced out sink and vanity. If you are replacing the sink, then you might as well replace the vanity. It's the same amount of work. It also makes installing the new sink easier when you don't have to worry about getting to the hardware form the front. What's more is are you going to replace your floor tile? Most vanities have tile underneath, that would have to replaced as well.

My bathroom is similar, so please post some after photos so I can see what you do (and therefore what I can do!)

You could get rid of the sink and save the bottom of the vanity. Add a countertop (check stone yards for clearance pieces) and get a vessel sink. We got ours at overstock.

You're lucky it's such a simple shape. A bit of paint and a new top/sink... it will fit right in. With the ultra-simple lines it's kind of a blank canvas and could become a focal point with a special design or a very bold color. I'm picturing a lusciously shiny lacquered box as inspiration.

You can replace the sink and counter and keep the vanity -- but it may be more trouble than it's worth -- especially with the cabinet flush up against the side wall as it appears to be. You are likely to need a custom countertop, which if stone, may be on the pricey side.

On the other hand, a decent cabinet/sink/countertop combo is not very expensive, and more importantly, comes as an integrated unit, which will save you a lot of hassle when installing it.

If you do go the new cabinet route, you can always donate the existing cabinet/sink/counter to a charity -- there are plenty that would be happy to take it off your hands. Just remove it carefully.

It's hard to tell from the pic what the vanity is made out of--if it's particleboard, definitely replace. But if it is generally high quality material with good hinges, I would keep it and change the surface top, sink, and faucets.

Agree with curlygirlhoboken that the toilet looks good. If you want a "clean" toilet, you could just replace the seat.

It really depends on your budget and how skilled you are.... I am currently renovating our bathroom- it was 110 years old and I had to completely gut it. It is a 7'x7' bathroom- I have spent several thousand on it and I didn't go high end on anything and I am doing all the work myself.
I have found that you can get inexpensive vanity packages at the box stores but after that you are looking at a huge jump in costs if you want anything other than what they offer on the cheap.
New fixtures, a counter top are options to dress it up and tie it in.
Are you replacing the floor?

I agree that it most def. depends on your budget. I had a vanity similar to that and we replaced the sink and faucet, tiled the counter top, and put bead board on the cabinet. We painted and voila! Brand new vanity. If you do replace the vanity, be sure you know what is behind yours. We have lots of tile in the bathroom and it was cut to fit the vanity, so if we had replaced it, it would have been a real mess.

I agree with Eclectic. Keep it and splurge on new faucet hardware.

new sink and faucet is my vote! the counter top is tiny so it wouldn't cost much to replace it if you wanted to add a pop color. my word of warning: before you buy faucets or sinks please be sure to have your plumber look at everything first. pre-existing vanities are not always suitable for under mount sinks or certain faucets due to space constraints. i am going through a disastrous bathroom counter top replacement experience at the moment where nothing fits properly and it's a complete mess. :(

A pedestal sink would look nice and clean, but I don't know if you need the storage under the vanity. If you are doing everything else, you might as well do the vanity too - it will be one of the less expensive items. I got a white thermofoil vanity at a big box store for a couple hundred about five years ago and styled it up with a sleeker sink, faucet and hardware (also from said big box store). It still looks like new, although I am the only person using it. Just be sure to take the removed items to a reuse center.

I can tell you from experience: Twelve years ago, I replaced everything in my bathrooms except the cabinets and the toilets, and now I am so sorry I didn't just go ahead and do everything at once.

We have one tiny vanity like this, and trying to replace a damaged counter and sink (not as cute as your sink, btw) is turning out to be special order city ... nothing off the shelf will fit.

In another small bathroom, we replaced this type of faucet with a pretty upgrade, and while the plumbing fits, the water hits in the wrong place and makes for awkward draining. (We just say, "Huh, well, that was unexpected." And live with it.) So if you replace faucet only, pay attention to all dimensions (not just pipe diameter and position) and envision where the water will fall in the bowl, handle clearance, vertical clearance, etc.

If I were to do it again, I'd replace everything at once, not just counter/just sink/just faucet. When we replace ours, we plan to get BRAVIKEN or ANNA sink from IKEA with one of their faucets on a cabinet with drawers. Wider bowl, less (or zero) counter space, would improve our space. Good luck.

If you are going to the trouble of replacing things, then yes - replace the vanity. It looks like MDF and it is unlikely that, should you opt for an undermount sink, the hole will be cut perfectly (that is why people install over-mount sinks - to hide any flaws in the hole that is cut) and it is also unlikely that the exposed edges of that hole are laminated.

If the laminate comes off any part of the MDF, it will deteriorate over time - it's basically ground up wood glued together, and not good around water if it's exposed.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Upgrading the faucet and knobs to something more modern would do it, I think. The shape of vanity seems fairly simple and neutral.

It already looks "contemporary" to me. Granted, it is beige, but the bones are excellent and the fixtures look fine to me.

I'd keep the vanity box and have it refaced w/ new doors and new laminate.

And why are you replacing the toilet? Just be careful when removing it so it won't get damaged and install a new flush mechanism and it will be good as new.

Hey,
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! Right now we are more inclined to getting a new one...I'll re-check the measurements and see if an IKEA one will fit the space. I'll share the pics once it's done! Can't wait!

i LOVE the big sink bowl! Can you send it to me once you throw everything else away ?

If you are replacing all of the other "bathroom appliances" you should replace it with something you will be happy with!

I don't get why you're redoing the entire bathroom. The toilet seems fine, and you can make it into a dual-flushing one. The sink is fine, maybe the faucet's a little dated, but not bad at all...

I wouldn't replace anything but the mirror, and then just paint!

I agree that not that much needs replacing. The floor tile is kind of...ick. I would keep the vanity and buy a rectangular sink that covers and sits on top of the entire vanity. Like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S29862734

IKEA has a couple nice ones. Kohler makes nice ones too, although they're much more expensive. I have this one in my bathroom which is a similar and small layout. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80074445
