Why not?

 The guest bathroom has been on my list since we first moved into this house.

It's miniature sized.

As you can see, the vanity is separated from the shower/potty by a wall and the space on the other side of the wall is tiny. I took the door off first thing - it didn't help much and I have wanted that wall down pretty much since day one.
The wall sits on top of four tiles. If we had four extra tiles we could replace just those and not have to do the whole floor. We have two. 
The vanity was on the short side so we decided to replace that too.

Since we were tiling the living room we decided to demo the wall so we could have new tile put while we had tile people here. (okay - 'we' didn't demo the wall - the tile guys did so they could get to the floor)

It already looks so much better but now we have to have the walls/ceiling repaired. Before we repair the walls we need to have the switch to the fan/light that was on the no longer there wall moved. Also, when I went in to clean the floor in there I found water on the floor. The hot water line was leaking so before new cabinets arrived we had to have that replaced. 
Are you keeping track? We have had tile guys, an electrician and a plumber. We still need a new vanity (being built off site) sheetrock repair and paint. That mirror has to come down because the new vanity is taller and the mirror was resting on top of the backsplash, which means the light fixture above the mirror has to also be moved up. The plan is to re-use the mirror - assuming it comes off the wall without breaking.

Thanks for the pictures, Tina. Now, my mind can envision what you were saying about the wall being removed.
