Photos of the Master Bathroom that I'm currently working on.

As you can see, there is mildew on the ceiling as well as the walls because they failed to use the vent fan for so long not allowing the proper escape of moisture. I'm in the process of rectifying that situation. Anywho, I'd like to get some ideas on some flush mount light fixtures I could use that are bright enough to light up the space. Home Depot didn't have much of a selection as it looks like most people are using the Bar style lights. But if I get the bar style, I'll need to hire an electrician to install the fixture. I'd rather get by with a flush mount for the time being.

Going to cover up the mildew with Kilz sealer/primer and give the walls a coat of paint. Going to install MDF trim with a semi gloss Alabaster paint. Going to go with a dark colored vanity as well as possibly a medium-dark colored sheet vinyl for the floor.

Speaking of the floor, I have to cut and remove rotted wood at the base of the tub. Can anyone provide advice as to what kind of plywood I would replace it with if I were going to put sheet vinyl on top of it?

    It looks like they did use the fan....you need to insulate the vent pipe as it looks like condensation formed on it and stained the ceiling...although it could be from a split vent boot on the roof.

    It wouldn't be hard to cut a new box on the wall and run wire to switch the light from a ceiling fixture to a bar type fixture. Hopefully you can find a Hometalker in your market to assist you. We do these fairly regularly in atlanta. ...»

    I would just patch the floor with pressure treated plywood of the same thickness. You may want to overlay the entire floor with 1/4" plywood just to give yourself a perfectly smooth surface. Why aren't you going with ceramic tile?

    I actually love those lights, wish you lived in our neck of the woods- I'd be begging you for them. :)

    Check out the Bellacor web site. www.bellacor.com They have thousands of all sorts of lamps. I use them a lot when doing remodel work.

    Here is what we have so far.

    Decided on this vanity combo from HomeDepot which was on sale for $299.00 - http://www.homedepot.com/Bath-Bathroom-Vanit... ...»

    Brushed Nickel 4 Inch Centerset Faucet - http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Bathroom-F...

    A 3 Light Vanity Bar that is about the same width as the mirror - http://www.homedepot.com/Lighting-Fans-Indoo...

    We are currently deciding on which Vinyl we want in the bathroom. Right now, it looks like a type of vinyl pattern that has different size bricks. The viny is of the premium grade with an high definition texture applied to it.

    We are thinking about going with a neutral grayish brown or somewhere within the beige category for a wall color with alabaster colored trim.

    As for the brown tub and tiles, there is nothing I can do about changing those right now. I hope to have a resurfacing company come in and give the tub and those tiles some new life.
