Somehow I forgot to take a "before" but you can visualize a beige pedestal sink and matching toilet -- no storage! I did have some wicker fish on the wall (now in Joyanna's bathroom) and a fish poster plus shelf with decorative little fishies over the toilet, not to mention a crowded and messy tray holding bug repellent sunscreen etc. on top of the toilet tank. The walls look much less boring now!

I got interrupted while posting yesterday... was going to mention tha tthe PVC panels have been easy to work with. I've been cutting the planks (about 7 inches wide) with my miter saw, and even though I have to flip the panel to finish the cut (only a 10 inch blade), it works fine, cutting very smoothly. I used my dremel to make cut-outs and to rip a couple of planks vertically (jigsaw would have worked, I'm sure, but didn't feel like getting it out).

The panels we ended up using were just a bit thicker than the paneling we thought we would use, so of course the countertop was 1/8 inch too wide... had to cut the paneling around the countertop on the right side, but it looks OK (or will, once I add a bead of caulk). It was quite a feat hoisting it into place without removing the door frame...
