Replacing mud tiles bathroom

Anonymous
We just bought a house and I'm interested in doing some minor work on the bathrooms. They have what I believe are mud-set tiles but they are in good condition and the classic black and white. What I'd like to do is replace the small storage-less pedestal sinks with small-scale vanities. Then over the sink there are currently soap dish things like this (this is not my bathroom, just an example):

Can I remove the soap dishes and replace with the matching plain white tiles? And then install the new vanity and a pivot mirror? Would make such a difference in the room. I feel fortunate at the tiles are just the plain white squares available everywhere now.
