Electrical upgrades
1.
The old light was centred over the sink, so the existing electrical supply was in a good place for the new fixture
2.
Upgrade the electrical receptacle for ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection
3.
The new light fixture over the sink makes a big improvement in the overall style of the bathroom. Since it stayed in roughly the same location as the old one, it was an easy upgrade to make
Details
1. & 2.
A pair of chrome robe hooks on the wall outside the shower and a soft-close toilet seat that can't slam down are two small additions that are inexpensive and easy to install
3.
The exhaust fan cover had yellowed over time, but the fan itself was in good shape, so only the cover was replaced
4. & 5.
A new chrome toilet-roll holder and larger, more stylish mirror compliment the updated look of the new fixtures
