So many people here are going to tell you not to paint it, but you and your mom need to figure out what is best for you. Do a google image search for white painted tongue and groove and see if there are any pics that you can use as inspiration and get an overall impression of how it might look. It could completely brighten up the space and make it really cheerful! On a personal note, I just put horizontal t&g paneling up on my master bedroom walls and painted it white, and I love how it turned out. It was a little labor intensive as I ended up having to caulk each grove as the first couple coats of paint did not do a good job of covering the groves even though I cut in each with a brush. With those vaulted ceilings I don't envy you if you do decide to paint!

With all the "OMG why didn't you save the pink tile!" talk, no one has commented on the amazing addition of the chunky shelves in the recess around the toilet. Such a great way to add storage. I'm impressed at how much storage they were able to cram into a such tiny space. On another note, I just renovated my tiny bath and added a recessed light over the shower like the one here, and I am amazed at what a difference that little addition has made. I also installed a wall mounted vanity similar to the one in this post and added an under cabinet light (for your kitchen) which takes away the shadow on the floor and also helps the space seem larger than it is.

I've gotten most of my furniture delivered from West Elm, and found it more affordable and better made than Ikea. They have this dresser that is similar that I've been looking into.
