You don't have to do the whole thing; start small. I've been re-doing
mine a bit at a time for 5 years! Get rid of the wallpaper first.
When I moved in, there was horrible, grungy, moldy wallpaper. That
was the first to go and the walls were painted a nice creamy yellow.
(I didn't do it myself, I admit the painter did it!). Maybe you can
just put another layer of nicer wallpaper on top of what you have.

A quicker fix- change the faucet, especially if you have one that's
dated, and not in a good way. That was the second thing I did, and
what a difference such a simple thing made.
