Bathroom Remodel Help!

My mom is beginning to remodel her bathrooms, starting with the primary bathroom, and she’s asked me to help with the process. I’d love some outside opinions and ideas! She’s in her late 70s and we want to make the bathroom safe for her as she continues aging, so no tub.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest, and we’d really like the bathroom to feel like it belongs there, warm, natural, calming, and not overly trendy. The goal is to make the primary bathroom feel a little like a spa for her. I’m imagining some blend of mid-century modern, Japandi, and PNW style, with natural wood, earthy tones, interesting tile, fun textures and a little warmth.

We tend to prefer a more neutral, timeless base for the permanent finishes rather than committing to a lot of color in the tile or cabinetry. That way we can bring in color through things that are easy to change - towels, rugs, artwork, plants, decor, etc.

The first 2 photos are the current bathroom, and the last is an AI rendering I made to start visualizing some ideas. Nothing in the rendering is set in stone, it’s more of a jumping-off point.

This post became longer than I wanted. Id appreciate any opinions on tile choices, wood tones, vanity style, lighting, fixtures, and ways to make the room feel warmer and more elevated without becoming too busy. Also any recs on suppliers, vendors, or showrooms in the Seattle area.

VM flare with neck symptoms

Has anyone here ever had a flare that HEAVILY involved their neck?

Mine started after my neck got extremely tight/irritated after a dizzy spell caused from gentle chiro traction, and during this flare my symptoms feel very tied to neck movement and posture. Looking down, turning my head, sitting upright too long, bending over, etc. can all make me feel woozy/off balance. Sometimes my neck feels thick, tight, sore, locked, or almost electrically sensitive. MRI looked fine. I constantly want to lie down.

I also get the more classic VM symptoms like visual motion sensitivity, visual aura, yawning, brain fog, fatigue, light/sound sensitivity, but the neck component has honestly been one of the hardest parts.

I guess I’m looking to hear from people who’ve had a VM flare where the neck symptoms became a huge part of the picture. Did it eventually calm back down? Did the neck sensitivity improve as the flare settled? I’m starting to see windows of improvement but it’s so slow that I don’t trust anything. I posted this on FB too, looking for more responses. Please only positive posts.
