BATHROOM REMODEL ON A BUDGET | Tips to Save Money

We have given ourselves 3 days and $600 to completely remodel our bathroom. When you are on a budget, you have to be creative, refurbish what you can, and use what you have. We need to get our house remodeled and ready to sell ASAP. So, we’ve given ourselves a month to basically renovate an entire house, on our own, and on a very low budget.

    I think you did a great job! I renovated my half-bath in a very similar way to how you did your bath vanity: made a black painted countertop out of plywood (waterproofed with a sealer), put a white vessel sink on top that looks pretty identical to yours, with a very similar faucet. Initially I also put vinyl peel & stick tiles (not grouted) over some ceramic tile that I hated, but I had to rip this up & replace this eventually with a vinyl sheet floor due to the underlying grout lines from the ceramic tile floor ‘bleeding’ through to the vinyl. If you ever lay down a vinyl floor again over grouted ceramic tile, you may want to consider leveling out the ceramic tile floor to fill in all the grout lines otherwise, over time, you will see a shadowing or a dip happening in your vinyl floor where all the grout lines are underneath. BTW, you have a gorgeous baby!

    It’s so nice to see someone who has her head screwed on right. I agree that it takes two incomes in a family to make it through these hard times, but I believe you are doing more than 50% of keeping a roof over your family. With the low unemployment rate seem that your mate could find something to pay the bills even if it is not what he wants. I am old and retired but when I got married, I firmly believed it was my responsibility to take care of my wife and then my family.

I don’t want an expensive house, i just want a cheap house because I love remodeling so much that I’m willing to work and take care of our baby and renovate with the help of my boyfriend too!

You got a clean and inviting bathroom with perfect colors almost for free Have you considered buying a home where you could rent out a plot or a tiny home or a garage apartment etc..? Best of luck getting the cost of housing down to suit and give you peace and stability or whatever you seek. Hugs from Norway 😊

    These cheap renovations always look cheap and, iMHO, do not add value to the house for anyone with any discrimination at all. Because it will need to be done the right way. And who wants to pay for a reno done the wrong way? For a few hundred dollars more (say, $1K total) you could have replaced both the floor tile and the bath surround tile to match (with REAL tile). Also, the toilet should have been reset over the tile flooring (after removing and replacing the original tile). It would have made the bathroom look so much bigger and so much more expensive to do it right. I have a feeling this house will be slow to sell.
