The ceiling tiles with matching black fixtures totally elevate the whole thing.

Your drain removal hack was genius even though it didn't work. She should definitely get her money back. It was good to see your sense of humor come out

Thanks! I was so disappointed I couldn’t get it out. When the plumber came and just dismantled everything I was like… uh I could’ve done that! I hired you to fix the problem not just replace all the plumbing and charge me for it. 🙄

WOW just $1000, and you made it look like a Million dollar room. And don't forget about the labor of Love and creative repurpose of materials. Topped off by that magnificent painting. Very creative project. DIY Princess

Aww. I teared up when she cried. The feeling of something made by someone by hand,mind,heart,thought,and love is beyond measurable. I wish her all the best on her sell and new journey.❤

I felt empowered to tackle my own bathroom renovation project. The before-and-after shots were impressive, showing what a big difference a little DIY effort can make.

Your so big hearted ❤, and the cost was so worth it! the skills she learned are so invaluable. The money that will be made selling the house will increase and and help it sell faster. And I want to disregard all that I’ve said so far a bit and point out what I see that the is most valuable; The memories you and her made together in her time of need 💕, those will be more valuable than the knowledge, the money or anything else 💓🩷💖 good job helping a fellow human being.

You are such a great friend to have !!! Great job done ❤

It's beautiful! We bought a house with a scrummy shower that looked so gross. After cleaning and sanding down really, really well, we used Rust-Oleum Topside paint for fiberglass boats. The shower looks brand new, and has held up with regular use for 2 years now with no chips, flaking etc. You have to do the prep so the paint goes on and stays on, but it's so worth it.

We did buy a painted refinish kit, but it was $100 for enough product and when the plumber bill came in we decided to return it to help with budget. The bisque colored surround looks great after all of Savanna's effort, but your idea was definitely considered!

That ceiling and floor really put it over the top! Youre an incredible friend and I’m sure she is too!!!!

Amazing! What a gorgeous transformation. Good luck Savannah!

Home run. Definitely worth the investment. Great job

It looks so good, what a difference. I really like the ceiling tiles, great choice. Yes - she will get her money back, good investment. Nicely done!

I love the bathroom makeover. It looks amazing. What a great thing you did for your friend

Gorgeous! You're a real inspiration. So nice of you to help a friend. A lucky girl.

After watching this video, I felt inspired to revamp my bathroom! The ideas on retiling the shower and installing a new vanity were genius, and I appreciated the budget-friendly approach. I'm excited to get started on my own DIY project and transform my bathroom like they did in the video!

Gorgeous!!! Love the drop ceiling!xoxo

She'll definitely make her money back, and then some. Thanks for sharing.

I hope so!

The transformation of the bathroom was impressive and I appreciated how you showed practical tips and tricks for saving money while still achieving a stylish look.

You are such a good friend, she is lucky to have you....I could use one right now 😏, really beautiful :)

The tips on repurposing existing fixtures and accessories were incredibly helpful, saving a ton of money.

Totally worth it😊and how blessed she is to have you! I love the black ceiling & accents, she will definitely get every penny back at sale time! Nice work!

That's a beautiful basement bathroom! Well done! ❤

Great budget remodel! Looks great and well worth it IMO. She'll get that back when it sells. Great job, ladies.

Great transition ladies. It was obvious that the bathroom had to be painted a much lighter colour. The changing of the faucets and hardware and toilet and floor and mirror and ceiling really transformed this bathroom into a show piece. I am sure the new owners will appreciate your efforts. I hope you get what you want and more for the sale of your house.

Such a wonderful update, love it.

Love the ceiling tiles. The makeover is awesome.

Wow that’s a great transformation. Great job

I have been struggling to clean the tub and surround in my master bath and had the same issues with nothing working. I had resigned myself to saving so I could replace it but I never thought of sanding and resealing. I'm going to give that a try. Thank you for the inspiration!

Beautiful

Very nice! Such a good friend.

Okay this was amazing and definitely gives me hope that I will be able to do something similar in my space on a budget. LOVE those drop ceiling tiles 😍😍😍

I love it!! But the ceiling is beautiful!

Hey Lisa!! Thank you ❤️

SOS pads are great for old built up crud.

When trying to cover dark paint here's a pro tip --- get some primer toned to a medium grey (think maybe 30% black in white).

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog

4 ай бұрын

I've tried that but not really sure how that saves any time because you still need two coats to reach opacity with the white. So primer coat + two coats of white or three coats of white paint, seems the same to me.

Very nice!!

Coolest DIYer ever 🎉❤

Nice!. good job.

Depending on how the rest of the home looks She will definitely make her money back I think. The housing market is still insane which is a benefit to the sellers. We just sold our first home to buy our dream home & we made almost 100K on our “first home”. Such a huge difference in this bathroom it looks amazing!!! Also I noticed you put a new faucet in that is the “Wide spread” style into the 3 holes that are close together. Does that mean those 3 holes do not have to be used just with “Centerset faucets” I’m asking bet currently doing my toddlers bathroom & thought I could only use the Centerset faucets. Thank youuu!

I have that same kind of tub. I can sand and polish it! Yeeeeessssss!!!!

You remind me of that actress from house of cards. She is so beautiful. I’m in love.

The drop ceiling are elegant. Where did you purchase them 😍

Awesome job and the bathroom looks great! Too bad about the bathtub drain blowing the budget, but that's life (and house renovations) for ya. The struggle to remove that old drain reminds me removing a stuck seatpost or stem from a bike. If there's corrosion involved, then it can be an impossible task with taking drastic measures.

Wonderful job! Everything you chose ties in with the existing wood really well. I love the painting you did too. I’m certain she’ll recoup the investment!😊 Edit: I took a screenshot of the bottle of Gel Gloss she used on the shower. I remodeled my bathroom last year and absolutely love it, but I chose to keep my jacuzzi tub, build a third wall/shelf unit, then tile the surround. It looks awesome and we enjoy it so much, but the tub suffered from my intense scrub down and gets dirty looking quicker now since I apparently scrubbed off the glossy finish. I never even considered looking for a product to recoat it.

@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog thank you! And thanks for the tip. I have some very discreet no slip tape strips on the bottom of ours, as our granddaughter likes to dance while she sings in the shower. She’s almost 8 and bath or shower time is one of her favorite things. 🙂

I wonder if Magic Eraser would work instead of the sandpaper to get the mildew off. It's still an abrasive, but even finer

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog

4 ай бұрын

The magic eraser helped a bit but crumbled quickly with all the buildup we had to get through. It would taken significantly longer than sanding and she sanded for 3 hours.

i also like to install flooring barefooted. you get a better feel for it.

Use a drill brush on the tub next time. It's a lifesaver.

Because they matched the trimwork, stained oak is more durable than painted, the vanity was only two years old and in perfect shape, and most importantly, Savanna liked it.

Ugh, drop ceiling tiles - gives me the vibes of a 90s/early 2000s mediocre office buildings... Obviously, on a budget, so replacing with something better was out of the question.

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog

Yes, and drop ceiling tiles serve a functional purpose of accessing the home’s plumbing. There’s a trend of doing heavy molding on ceilings to make them look a lot like this result. I think these tiles transform the ceiling from being an eye sore to a focal point!
