Tiny awkward powder room in the house we just bought.
Can't sit on the toilet. Head room low. Want it to be functional and cute! Last owner added it and it just doesn't work ...

My Mom had a tiny powder room that was similar and her toilet was against the taller wall facing the door with the sink on the shorter wall with a very small piece of art above it in lieu of a mirror. It was still tiny, but it was charming and served the purpose.

Put the toilet where the sink is or consider a new corner toilet (they have a triangular tank) where your wood shelf hangs. If you want to spend alot of money, consider one of the new "tankless" toilets. (The price stopped me in my tracks.)
We installed the sink where your toilet is using a white vessel sink on top of an 1800's cherry washstand. The washstand is 18" square and because the legs are thin, gives an open feeling. Plus it has a shelf for storage. You can find washstands on ebay or at antique stores. Ebay often has cute shabby chic french metal washstands. (You could even use an antique plant stand.) They also have vessel sinks in all colors of art glass and price ranges.
Another option is a new or vintage wall hung corner sink.
We installed an all glass shower to keep the open feeling. For towel storage I hung pack baskets on the wall. For sundries, I hung a creel basket next to the sink. Everyone loves the look and says how large the bathroom looks now (as I laugh).
Do you think you can switch the position of the toilet, if not then you might want to remove the sink and replace it with a corner one, or move the existing one down towards the door. [houzz=Harris Powder Room][houzz=Shannon (8foot6)][houzz=Hale Aina By The Sea][houzz=sliding barn door]
