What to do about our bathroom remodel?

We are "remodeling" our 1/2 bath. We are going to put in new floors. We aren’t sure if we should replace or paint the existing cabinet. If we replace the cabinet, I feel we should replace the kitchen cabinets as well. If we just paint, all we’d need to do is get a new vanity top (countertop). I originally wanted a pedestal sink but after much thought, I need storage space so the pedestal sink is out. We are going to keep the current toilet. Should we get a new cabinet and not worry about the kitchen cabinets or paint the existing cabinet and update it with hardware?

I don’t understand why you feel you would have to replace your kitchen cabinets if you replace your bathroom vanity. They are two different rooms and the cabinetry should not match. I think if you look around at your local hardware stores, you will find a suitable vanity (possibly with a top) for a very inexpensive price. I found a great one for two hundred…with cabinet, top and sink. Just shop for deals and you can have your new floor and a new vanity. You can find a mirror in Walmart for next to nothing and create your own piece of artwork from pictures of family, friends or nature you have taken.

    how old is your cabinet. what kinda shape is it in. what kinda budget are u allowing yrself for this ‘remodel’ ? are u replacing the sink, faucet and medicine cab/mirror as well as the hardware and countertop? if your going that way i think replacing the cab w/a matching medicine chest would look best.
    since this is a seperate closed off room it really doesn’t matter if it matches the kitchen cabinets or not.
    good luck
