So here's our third-floor bathroom a year ago...
...and here it is from the same angle today.

Just about everything has changed. The floor, walls, ceiling, electrical, plumbing, vanity, toilet, and bathtub are all new. Well, the tub isn't new but it's been relocated to the other side of the room.
Every little bit of the old sub-floor, carpet (ick), drywall, and plumbing has come out and been replaced, as chronicled elsewhere. (None of it was historic.) By removing the old knee walls, the floor space has gotten somewhat larger, and built-in cupboards replace the blank walls. The new inset ceiling also raises the effective height of the room by about 2 inches.

The vanity swapped places with the tub, and the toilet has moved a bit closer to the door. The dangly little light that used to be over the door is now a small chandelier that actually uses less energy but puts out more light. The transom window is completely new.
The old made-from-cereal-boxes vanity has been replaced by a real one near the door. We reckon that improves the traffic pattern in the room and reduces the necessity of standing under the lowest part of the ceiling.
