Let's Back Up A Bit...

So the faucet went bad but it was actually a horrible room to start with. (See photo).  Now sure, pink is a lovely color but not for a toilet, bathtub and vanity top. The gray primer color above the tile was a bit of a problem, as was the vinyl floor with more pink. The toilet paper roll was on the wall behind the toilet and essentially useless - unless you're a contortionist.   So when the faucet went bad it was a reasonable excuse to begin a DIY bathroom remodel.
