[quote=Anonymous]You can buy a cheap set of sheets in a bright color or pattern and a tension rod or shower rod and "frame" the glass door with a curtain, which will make the whole room brighter. If they get wet, so what, and you can wash them easily. 
If you can, add bright shades (get them at JCPenney, cheap) to whatever lighting you have or add a chinese lantern or even a spray-painted old colander turned upside down and hung from fishing line below whatever light you have in the bathroom.
Get some cheap stencils (I have wonderful sea shells and fish stencils) and some bright colored paint, and add a border or random pattern to the walls. 
Add a bright bathmat, and some cheap artwork (you can get it anywhere -- even wrapping paper, kitchen towels, posters, anything that goes together and looks nice. Or get some $2 IKEA frames, spray paint them, and group them together. I've framed bright pages cut out of old children's books I've found at the thrift store or library book sale. 
Strings of plastic beads in different colors can add a bright touch at the window. Hang them up as a "curtain" and they will catch the light, swing and look cheerful. 
Bright, coordinating towels will add an extra touch. Plastic hooks in different colors can be cute for hanging up smaller hand or face towels. I've found these online or at IKEA or even at my local hardware store. 
My local Goodwill is a good place to find interesting things to repurpose. I've found lots of nice wooden frames (framing hideous "art" that I've thrown away) that I've painted or not and reused. Also dusty antique stores can be good places to find interesting "junk" you can spray paint in bright colors and hang on the wall as as artwork. Even a trash receptacle can be cute. I found a $5 rusty old galvanized bucket at an antique store that I spray-painted and use as a waste-basket. 
The sky is the limit, OP. Go for it!! [/quote]
