It seems like bathroom remodeling projects are very popular these days. Its a great way to build value in your home and since they don't take long to complete you can get satisfaction in about a week or two. In most cases bathroom remodeling is fairly inexpensive as compared to larger additions and kitchen remodeling projects.
They are fairly easy to plan for and there is huge amounts of information on the Internet. From information on planning and budgeting, to trends and colors there is no shortage of good information.
For cabinetry I wood check out Apple Valley Woodworks, Aristokraft, Norcraft and for plumbing fixtures check out Kohler Moen and American Standard. For ideas visit HGTV they have a great website.
Magazines are also a good place to get ideas and remember to mark the pages so you can show your contractor if you don't plan on doing the bathroom yourself.
If you are going to remodel your bathroom and want to save some money there are things you can easily do. The first is the demolition, although it is hard work and creates alot of dust you can save between $500 and $1000 depending on the size of the bathroom. The next area that most people will tackle on there own is the painting. You can save between $250 and $1000 depending on the size of bathroom and the type of finish.
Unless you have done it before I would leave the plumbing, electrical and tile to the pros.
