Replace smelly plywood under flooring, retile the floor, wainscot over the tile walls, prime and paint said wainscot with bathroom paint, install new toilet, install new sink, replace light fixture.
3)Finishing touches:
paint walls, replace doors on the medicine cabinet, hang new antique mirror in place of ugly old one, put pretty pictures on the wall, new shower curtain
