7 EASY STEPS to DESIGNING a BATHROOM MAKEOVER on a BUDGET!

Getting started on a room makeover can be daunting! So today we're starting the process together as I design a bathroom makeover for my sister-in-law using only renter friendly solutions for under $500! Along the way, I'm sharing my best tips for where to start when it comes to a big makeover project like this, especially when you're on a tiny budget like mine. My sister-in-law and her family have always dreamed of having a designer bathroom in their small yet beautiful craftsman-style home, but just never found the time or knew where to start. So while they're on vacation, I'm taking on the challenge of creating their dream bathroom and surprising them with the final reveal when they return!

In keeping with the style of house and bathroom blue penny tiles, I think pops of yellow and orange paint is a wonderful idea for accents!!! I would consider White towels, as they wash well and perhaps the actual hooks can be painted the orange along with the trash can. I love the blue paint in the window and yellow ceiling idea!!! Love your editing and music choice…. New subscriber here and can’t wait to see more from your channel!!!!!

I love how engaging your videos are, and this is quite a fun space with rhe vintage tile. You mentioned that guests accidentally turn on the light in the arched nook, which made me wonder if you could swag a light so it was in the main part of the room. That may be entirely unfeasible, but it would be nice not to have the light boxed in. Looking forward to seeing your plan come together!

I don't know if someone has already told you but I hope this helps. The wood sheeting that you were looking for are located with the DIY cabinets and/or the countertops. Easy to use and makes a world of difference to existing cabinets. Love the video !

You definitely won't need a whole gallon for the ceiling. I'd start with a quart for sure. Also, a lot of items can be thrifted and sanitized easily... Like the garbage can and decor items if they are solid surfaces or you are going to spray paint or DIY them anyway. Even a white shower curtain or regular curtains to DIY. Just some thoughts. It's gonna be fun when it's done!

Looks great! I loved the yellow bath mat from Ikea. Also, if you buy clear glass for the sconces shades, you see the light bulb and that bugs a lot of people. I don't mind the sconces she already has. Maybe you just leave them?

Yeah! Might be possible to just clean them up a bit. Thanks so much! I am really liking that bath mat too 😍

Another great video. 👏 I love your style and the choices you’re making. That bathroom has so many fun elements to work with. The tile is to die for. 🤩 Love the yellow and orange accents. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. 🚨Warning: I bought those exact Casa Luna towels, and they look better than they perform. Not very absorbent, sadly.

I'm wondering if the light switch for the sconces is directly behind the light switch in the arched area. If it is, perhaps you could combine them and get rid of the hall switch. I really kinda don't like the pendant light idea in the arched area. It looks like it crowds the cabinet and eliminates the space on top of the cabinet. I like the idea of soft light coming from above the cabinet (no fixture showing) and maybe some pretty towels (perhaps that orange pop you're looking for) stacked on top of the cabinet. I love the idea of painting the inside of the window frame blue to match the floor. I think if you got rid of (stored in the new cabinet---or under it in a basket) the stuff under the sink---and then spray painted the water pipes in some kind of antiqued metal color, the towel rack around the sink would be perfect as it is. Painting the cabinet that's already there the same blue as the window might be a little too much since the bathroom is so small---perhaps you could clad it with beadboard painted white and decorate it with blue accents. I'm excited to see what you come up with! Good luck!

@livingwithlk 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for this! All great ideas!! I have to agree with you on the arch. I still need to see the cabinet in there to get a better idea of how to move forward. I’ll have to ask her husband about the light switch thing that might be an awesome fix!

Great video! For the shower curtain: maybe flour sack towels cut in golden ratio sizes… I can’t think of the name of that seam I wanna say French seam but I’m probably wrong! So if you don’t already know how to do that you can maybe find a how to info… Oh that zig zag roofing board stuff… what if painted orange and add hardware or pegs for towel rack… it might be hung vertical or horizontal… maybe? You might check out Habitat for Humanity Restores for stuff. Hardware for hooks, globes for the sconces… material for the sink surround… This might be too tacky of an idea but wood look contact paper on the glass shelf on the vanity and then just covered boxes/ baskets for storage and hang towels on the bar…semi covered semi open… maybe This might sound really weird and not any of styles, but I really love the sink and the only things not cool about it are the glass shelf and the pipes. What about pop of orange vinyl on the glass shelf or orange duck tape on the pipes… You might do stripes (vertical) in the alcove behind the dresser. Even if very subtle like same color white paint but use the glossier version that you use on the woodwork for the stripe… Does the ikea sconce metal part come off? Can the light weight wood veneer or luan be cut into a smaller circle and exchange the metal piece for wood? Sorry, you’re really inspiring! Love what you’re doing!

"Her daughter and husband's primary bathroom" So she has her own bathroom and then still uses theirs? Interesting😅 Why not just do shelves? That cabinet took up so much space and leaving so much wasted space that could be utilise for more storage. Just a suggestion. I love that cabinet though, it's gonna look great once you've done something with it.

It's a very old home, and the other bathroom is very tiny with a small shower.
