Love the sage color scheme. Also love the neutral wood cabinets and beadboard in that first photo.
I disagree with Chat about the floors. I’d choose tile over wood for durability and cleaning ease in a “water” room.

That’s the preferred scheme my daughter likes. I’m not sure I can talk the husband into neutral wood cabinets
The house is now a 
ton of orange oak that is very very 90’s!
Sorry, I amended my original comment. The bathroom is tile, the rest of the first floor will be hardwood

I’m not afraid of color, especially sage, and would go for the (light) sage cabinets rather than the safety and boredom of white. I also have no issue with painting cabinets in the future if my tastes change.
Go for what you really love.

Picture three is my favorite but I think all are lovely! You can’t make a bad decision!

How exciting! All looks are nice, but I like this one the best:
That said, I wouldn’t do wood trim on the shower pony wall because of moisture issues (I’d do tile) and I’d be concerned about the amount of grout that inevitably comes with the micro tiles on the floor. At the very least, I’d ask for epoxy grout.

Haha, my D loves those penny tiles. I told her no, we are doing 24 x 48 tiles with minimal grout lines. She kept sending pictures and I kept telling her it was a no!

In regards to the window, will there be any other “wood” in the room if you do a color vanity - or will your vanity be a wood grain? I’d paint the window in a heartbeat because if it’s the only wood grain in the room I think it might look awkward, or if there is a different wood (say a teak vanity) it might look awkward. I also am not someone who would worry about consistency from the windows in the living room to the bathroom. I’d make the design decision based on the room not the entire house.

I think we are going with the sage cabinets in option 3. I may change my mind before Tuesday 
. I do not think I can talk my H into another shade of wood cabinetry. The other option is white.
The only wood in the bathroom would be the window and there is custom oak wood baseboard that also can be painted. But it’s consistent with the rest of the house also.
It’s hard to imagine how much oak this house has and the dilemma of what to do with it to update this house. I know it was pricey but it’s so overwhelming. Think wide oak trim on every window in the house main and second floor, wide baseboard. Oak pillars, an oak shaker style fireplace. Oak banister and oak kitchen cabinets. Along with the oak cabinets in the bathroom which thankfully are going.
The master plan is to do the bathroom this year. The kitchen and floors next year. Change all the lighting. So the first floor will be completely remodeled.

FWIW, the owners before us painted all the wood trim in the entire house and I love it! I’m so glad they did it as it changed the entire character and feel of the house.

All your options look lovely. I’m also about to start my bathroom renovation and I am very decisive about the design but have had a hard time finding the right materials, particularly the medicine cabinets in a relatively small size that will match the vanity. My home is a 1925 colonial with subway tile in the original bathrooms so we’re keeping it that style. All white, with black and white existing hexagonal floor. But the walls will be a lovely medium turquoise. This is the look I’m going for.

Use tile as the baseboard in the bathroom!

I absolutely second this! We have granite tile (to match the countertop) in the bathroom. Love it!
Do you have a pic example??
But the kitty is the best part of the photo. 
to tile/stone baseboards. You can do some pretty fantastic things with them, and they are indestructible and easy to keep clean.

We are considering a new deck because we spend a couple of K every couple of years to maintain it, and it’s getting close to its “last legs” as you described it. I also think it will help if we sell, but I don’t know it that will happen anytime in the near future.
Surely I have seen tile baseboard before but not really put 2 and 2 together.
Is there any reason NOT to use tile for baseboard? Besides being more expensive for the material and labor.
Not unless you prefer wood.
