The Hilary Home

My fiance recently bought a duplex, 750 sf on each side. Over the past few months we've been renovating it from top to bottom. Today I'm going to focus on the bathroom renovation. The bathroom in this place is TINY, barely enough room for a tub, small vanity (24"), and toilet. So to make myself feel better about the small space, I went for it with the design! No! These are not my new bathroom! I drew inspiration from my favorite color combination (Navy, Grey, Gold), found bathrooms that did this color combination (see inspiration above), and applied it to my space in a $$ saving way! See below for purchases, budget, and progress/after photos! Vanity: $250 ( Lowe's ) This Allen + Roth vanity was right on budget but with great style that fit the color scheme! An added bonus was it came with the solid surface top and integral sink all in one! Durable surface for a future rental property... sign me up! Faucet: $95 ( Lowe's ) I wanted to us...

You may say, 'No Way!?', but yes. I remodeled a full bathroom for less than $1200. I was about to list my house and the bathroom was in MAJOR need of a renovation, see below for before and after pictures. AFTER BEFORE Inexpensive, but Beautiful Materials $0.99/SF Floor tile...  I did a printed tile for the floor that is super trendy, but NOT expensive! I got one similar to below for  $.99/sf from  Home Depot  . For a 30 sf bathroom that's only $32 with tax! Add in thin set and grout for another $30 and you have a new floor! $270 Pre-manufactured Vanity from Big Box Store... Nobody beats this price! I've priced it out so many times thinking I could beat the "all-in-one" price. Once you add finishing the cabinet, countertop, and sink, there's no comparison! If you can change out the hardware to make it feel more personal and less big-box store, that helps too. Or you may get lucky and find one that already has that feel, for $27...
