Why Not… Remodel Your Bathroom?

Let’s talk bathrooms! Why is the bathroom the last room of the house to get a remodel? A total revamp isn’t always the answer. If the main fixtures are fine and up-to-date…skip over them and get to work. Smaller bathrooms can be remodeled in a weekend…so why not give it a shot?

Painting walls is one of the easiest and quickest ways to remodel. The most important step in painting is the prep work. Remove everything from the walls, wash them down, and fill in any holes. The next step would be to use painter tape and plastic to cover up areas you don’t want to paint. (This step will also help with clean-up and help prevent “oopsies”.) Once you have everything prepped, paint away! The final step is to clean-up to admire your work and prepare yourself for the compliments!

Another way to update your powder room is to change out the tile or flooring. This may or may not be something you want to conquer on your own. If you are handy and enjoy DIY projects, there are many resources that can guide you through the prep and installation process of updating flooring and tile. On the other hand, if the thought of tearing up old tile or flooring causes a pain in your gut…get help! Whether you bribe that friend that loves to DIY or pay a contractor you will be happy with the results.

If you are not up for any of these tasks, you can still remodel your bathroom with ease. The simplest way to refresh your bathroom is to re-decorate! For a small amount of money and very little time and effort, you can change out the shower curtain, pictures, soap dish, etc. Add some decorative items and voila…you have a remodeled bathroom!
