I'm tired of my basement dungeon bathroom. Where should I start to make this room a joy to poop in?
We have 2.5 bathrooms in the house but primarily use the bathroom on the main floor. I would like to make our basement bathroom more attractive so it's not so scary to go down there when nature calls. I've never done any bathroom remodeling before so am a little intimidated about where to start or what kind of final look I should go for. I'm obviously limited by headroom because of the exposed pipes which makes drywalling the ceiling and adding recessed lighting even more daunting.
Not pictured is the shower stall on the right side of the picture that I would ideally like to remove for a soaking tub.
