oh dang it I know this one. Somewhere there is a Domino Magazine picture meant for you. It features a teak bathroom with two copper sinks on a floating teak (could be redwood for you) vanity with rope handles for towels. This is a close second to look for accessories/ideas http://www.signaturehardware.com/editor/media/2007/domino07.pdf
Basically it is the vanity/mirror/light fixture that isn't working and the grout color.

Where can I get those shelves? I'm not seeing this at container store.

Rolling staircase with storage underneath? Then you can put some pots on the highest stairs and catch that light.

Housewarming gift = sledgehammer

Check out the cool print in the other room, you are adventurous. Go for that Malachite green and paint the fireplace white.

the norfolk, ct 1 fireplace used to look just like yours. The remodel was featured in Domino Mag. I'd look for inspirational photos and think about the whole concept before doing bits and pieces. Painted paneling looks like painted paneling. Consider adding a surprising element into that room. Maybe rehab that bulky cabinet to be floating shelves on top and color down below.
