Why not? This is the room that has probably given us the most stress and the most issues so far. And we aren't out of the woods yet! We went back and forth with what to do with this room - considered everything from just sprucing it up, to demolition, gutting it, and starting over again. Then we decided to keep the original subway tiles and just strip off the beige epoxy paint, and maybe put a bathfitter over the tub. So we bought new fixtures for the tub and shower and the plumber went to work.... and the tiles fell off the walls themselves.
We decided to re-evaluate. Got a bathfitter quote. Decided to revisit demo. Here's the final plan - all the tiles come down, drywall goes up. Room gets painted a gorgeous chic grey. White wainscotting goes up halfway on all the walls. Shower gets re-tiled. New sink and fixture, new lighting, new everything! Can't wait. I am most excited about this room. I was hoping for a double sink, but for now, one will suffice. Here is the ongoing transformation:

A day after we decided to go for it, knock down all the tile:
It got cleaned up a little, at least all the concrete is off the floors...
The new border for the shower tiles. We are keeping everything in a grey/black/white scheme:
