2021 Update- Wow! My style has certainly changed. Check out this post to see our current house and current bathroom makeover!
I’m so happy to blog this DIY bathroom makeover because I can reflect on a totally made over bathroom that I love. I’ve seen it go from ugly to worse to beautiful. It just shows you how much you can do to totally change a space without breaking the bank. This was definitely not the worst room in the house but it encourages me enough to know that we can tackle the next big thing. After a nice long break of course. 🙂
DIY Bathroom Makeover
Isn’t it grand?? Would you believe me if I said you could get this for under $400?
Now let’s see…how much did all of this cost for our DIY bathroom makeover? Here’s the fun/scary part!
 *Estimates- not exact costs*
Bathtub paint- $25
Floor (with grout & tools)- $45
Paint for cupboards- free, the owner left it behind
Wall paint- leftover from a bedroom
Concrete counter & tools- $40
Shower curtain, rod, & rings- $30
Faucet-$30
Rug- $10
Shelves- sitting around from a previous thrift store find
Toilet- $90 (didn’t need to be replaced, but was old and gross)
Hanging basket- from my mom
Bathtub faucet&drain-$60
The rest of the stuff are things found from second-hand stores or Dollar Tree
Estimated total: $330
What?? There were tools we had to pick up here and there but I think all in all the total cost would be under $400. But who knows, I’m a bad estimator ;P
Now you see what a little (okay, a lot) of hard work and time can do!
*Update- We sold this house!*
It looks SO GOOD!! But the photos don’t even do it justice. It’s even BETTER in real life! Seriously, using your bathroom is like a spa experience. Especially washing my hands in your spa sink. I’m surprised you still have the toiletries left after Mya “helped herself” 🙂 What a cutie.
Thank you so much! The encouragement really keeps us going. Haha yeah that part was funny 😉
Love it! You did a great job!!
