We have a small bathroom from the 1920s and we put a train car shelf, actually 2 shelves, from Restoration Hardware over the toilet. We store things in bins. It works great and looks vintage.

How sad. The original bathroom had so much potential. We have the exact same yellow tile with black border in one of our bathrooms with a very similar and beautiful floor. ( I love how it is hidden in the picture) To update our bathroom we installed a new sink, faucets, medicine cabinet, additional lighting and a new toilet and now have a modern but classic bathroom without completely gutting the bathroom and loosing all the original character. The completely redone bathroom will look dated in a just few years.

How about hanging a set of drapes to cover the entire wall behind the bed? Place the bed with headboard in front of the drapes. I have seen this done and it is very luxurious. Also, it eliminates drafts from the window on your head.

You can probably replace the white tile with blue tiles that match. Call B & W Tile in Gardena California and they should be able to help. They have a blue tile that looks very similar to your original tile.

I know you are asking about what color to paint the door, but how about stripping the paint and just staining and applying some poly. My wife and I have a 1928 Tudor in Atlanta and we did this and the door looks great. Just a thought.

Paint the walls a light teal color or 2 or 3 shades lighter than the tile and use white towels, shower curtain and bath mat. We have a yellow/black bathroom and a dark green/medium green bathroom and keeping it simple makes it look clean and retro/modern.

The curved shower bar is great. So much more room at shoulder height and much less claustrophobic. We would never use a regular straight bar again.
