Basement reno: completed guest bathroom


I don't know why it's taken me forever to post about the completed basement/guest bathroom, but here it is.  Sorry it took me so long to get my act together (I blame the peanut, the little stinker) & I hope the finished product doesn't disappoint.  The construction dust has finally settled, the room's gotten a thorough cleaning, & I finally got the last details to fall into place.  It's a small windowless bathroom, so we did our best to keep it light, simple, & budget-friendly.

First the pics, then the details & breakdown (at bottom of post). 
Here are a buttload of photos, prepare yourselves:

We strayed from my original idea board a bit, much to my chagrin, but oh well. I didn't dwell on the changes too much............just for a few months weeks .  I'm referring to:

* {my beloved side-by-side sconces} Due to the original plumbing, the sink had to be placed in a very specific spot......which meant the mirror had to be centered above it..........which meant there wouldn't be room for the sconces on either side (no matter the size of the mirror). We contemplated repositioning the plumbing but couldn't justify the cost of concrete cutting, etc.
* {the gorgeous beaded, beveled, budget mirror} No wonder it was so inexpensive. Once it was hung, we noticed that the bottom half had a defect where it warped our reflection. The effect was vertigo-inducing so we nixed it. It was also a bit too glam for Mr. FC's taste (eye roll, big sigh) so we went with a more traditional mirror.
* {my plan for a custom shower curtain} I have no excuse except that time got away from us & we had to buy a shower curtain pronto for overnight guests. I'd like to eventually have a custom-made shower curtain but that can wait.
* {the beadboard paneling} It was too cottage-y for us, so the plan is to eventually add board & batten.  Rainy day(s) project perhaps?
