Great makeover! I've seen the use of tub/tile resurfacing products. Might be a good way to unify all the types of tile to a single color, at least.

Not a fan of the handles being in the middle of the over the toilet cabinet, but everything else is 💯

Such a big do-over for such a little space. The bathroom now has so much style and personality. Brava Rachel.❤

Love the result! A quick tip is to fill your bathtub with water when you caulk or when you put weight in it while bathing or showering it can stretch the caulk and lead to cracking. I have caulked a few tubs in my time!

The tile job in the shower is truly the definition of "landlord special" looks great for what you were working with! I would definitely check for water damage around the shower fixture though. Had similar tile in my house growing up and they started falling out like that because everything behind it was water damaged and rotting

Love it! Biggest transformation: the caulk. Dang what a difference some fresh caulk makes! The wall ledge was a genius idea- it is small but adds so much! The divider is pretty. I have a tankless water heater in my laundry room that is an eye sore…and I’ve wanted to build a faux cabinet around it for a while, but maybe a divider like this would suffice…great job!

I'm renting as well the and the caulk as super moldy and I went and fixed with some brand new caulk and it looks so much better

Pro-tip - when sealing corners with silicone sealant (NOT caulk, which is not water resistant like silicone sealant is), after adding your bead along the edge, spray it with soapy water before spreading with your finger or tool. This avoids it sticking to everything and gives a nice smooth finish :)

@merrim7765

When I caulked my bathroom, I cut about 4" off the corner of a basic plastic shopping bag (the kind some cities are banning) and wrapped my finger with it to get a super smooth caulk line and no mess on my finger.

Love the transformation! Not sure if someone already mentioned it, but it's a good idea to fill the bath full of water when you do the silicone, to avoid it stretching/detaching when you eventually have a bath. Learned this from a bathroom fitter.

Yes! I sooooo wanted that cabinet to be all green! That green is gorgeous 💚💚💚

I recognize Kelsey's green bathtub color as the new cabinet color! Also a pro tip: Get a grout cleaner and a toothbrush to remove the black stains from the grout in the shower :)

The divider and mini floating shelf are vital....so good for that space! The weird black handles on the hanging cabinet are, well, weird...that one is a no from me.

this is rachael's best video yet. i really like how the changes make perfect sense for the space and add a lot of visual value/intrigue without looking cheap or cutting corners.

That divider is genius. It divides the shower off so nicely and makes the space feel way more luxurious.

You literally just elevated this tiny old bathroom by 100000 fold. Im in awe. Where was this video when I lived in my old apartment?!

That divider-idea is borderline genius!🤩 I am going to steal it😁 Good job👍

Or peel and stick tiles! That would have been amazing!

I honestly love the original 30s tiles around the outside walls. Ashame they ruined it in the tub but you did an excellent way to mask it. Now you can draw the curtain too when guests are over but still have light come through the divider. Genius idea Rachel 😌

I love little updates like this, where basicially 200 bucks & a coat of paint make it feel fresh and 3x as clean.

It looks amazing! But if you want to change the caulking around the tiles there is a special pen for it that comes in white, black and grey(as far as I know). And that could help with cohesiveness of the different tile colors!

Tip for the mold on the grout. I swear by Tilex, it's been a wonder destroying mold. And it's just a spray you leave on for like 10-15minutes and then wipe away

I was concerned that she gave such a cursory cleaning of the mold between the tile and tub. Won’t the mold just start growing back under the new calandra make an even bigger mess?

You did a really nice job of making a boring bathroom much more interesting. The divider was a great idea as well as the interesting light fixture. ❤

I really like the changes. The light and the divider are splendid.

Love the divider you installed. Quite 'simple' but gives it some sort of privacy feeling.

I love everything you did! The only thing I would have done differently is replace the brass ceiling mount cover with a plain, flat white cache so that you don't see it from the side. 😘

That hanging light just got me! Sometimes small spaces are difficult because doing too much can look crowded but your solutions appear to have worked!

Beautiful outcome! Such an improvement to what you originally had. My ONE qualm is I feel like the black handles on the cabinet above the toilet are a tad too bulky-looking. Other than that, it’s a win for me! 🙌🏽

It is what it is - literally everytime i diy 😂

hahaha it be like that

A great job on the space with the limitations you had to work in both in square footage and being renter friendly. You mentioned struggling with blending in plugged holes, I find using a plug cutter to get the material to fill the hole helps in blending since you are working with long grain as opposed to the end grain you get with a dowel. They are about the cost of a regular drill bit and work in any drill.

What a lovely wooden light fitting you made, Rachel. The bathroom looks so much better now than it was.

Thank you for the caulking instructions. I have to do that this weekend and I'm glad to see how to do it.

BEAUTIFUL! You did an amazing job with the makeover. From design concept to execution... BRAVO!

Beautiful! It does look unrecognizable from before. The all-black fixtures with the pale green and the divider are a good mix of modern and vintage. The one thing I'd have done different is leave the hanging light wire visible. I think with wires it's either hide it or embrace it, and the white covering ends up being more conspicuous. And since the wire is black it'd blend in well with the fixtures.

Im so indecisive honestly I'd end up with 5 different tiles too in my bathroom

Beautiful job, but just wondering why you didn't paint the over-the-toilet cabinet the same color as the cabinet under the sink. Would have tied the two together. All-in-all, it rocks!

@WaterBearer789

Ай бұрын

I think it was to have some symmetry with the divider but I think the divider stood up well on its own as it’s a statement piece. I initially did think she was going to cut the center of the cabinet doors out and add the same material on the divider once I saw that she was using the same color but it didn’t happen, had she done that I think I wouldn’t have cared that it wasn’t green but since it was meant to be a solid piece green would have elevated interest in it and gave it an up to date modern feel but it’s AWESOME WORK OVERALL SO…I’m just running my mouth LOL

You are definitely talented for handling odd layouts of construction . Definitely like your style of decor. Good job gal.

The caulking gun tip BLEW MY MIND. You don't even know how long it's taken me to cut silicone open with a knife before

I love this makeover so much! Who would think so many little changes could make such an impact? Inspired to have a crack at my bathroom now!

Loved seeing Rachel tackle a project like this. She has an eye for creativity and getting to see her designing a room is amazing!

the 5 tiles is truly the Toronto renter experience lol

I'm stunned by how beautiful this bathroom turned out😮 I would have never thought it possible to make it look this nice😅

The bathroom came out great. Good job.😂

Love the lamp makeover!!

This came out so nice!

The plate light fixture and how you hid the wall plate was so clever, but I have to agree that I would have painted both the cabinets in the green.

This is absolutely realistic! The bathroom is tiny, and the problems are relatable. I feel like I could maybe do some of this! Maybe not the sawing yet, but the caulking for sure!

Love this! that wall divider is so beautiful and it elevates the bathroom so much. Also, I hope your landlord is watching this. I like to shame building and home owners that rent to others. Make spaces better for your tenants people! They are so lucky to have you and all the KZreadrs that are making (and teaching how to make) spaces livable and beautiful!

I love the partition! It gives it some romance. If you use a wet finger when you smooth out the caulk it makes less mess for you and the seam. I alternate wet rag/ dry rag for my finger.

This turned out so cute! I love how you were able to figure out solutions to all of the problems!

So much better than some of the og gals’ videos! Bcz there is more DIY stuff than decision fatigue

What a challenging space! Your work was outstanding 👏👏👏 the result is so amazing!

Rachel never fails to entertain us while making a huge transformation of a space... Bravo 👏

They make really awesome durable paint for tile! It’s all about proper prep and seal! Painting the tiles all the same color would definitely hide the fact its mismatched. Gorg makeover!

love how the divider totally changed the light of the space and the way the shadows fall-- very poetic! would try a grout brightening pen just to freshen up the tiles in the shower area even more.

Thank you for showing us how to caulk! I’ve been needing to redo my kitchen sink but have felt so nervous because I have no idea what I’m doing - I’ll definitely be giving it a go with your tutorial in the background 😂

Beautiful job Rachael!!

Big impact for a little space. Looks so cool, even the mismatched tile fits now. Great job. love the lamp and divider the best. Little shelf is the room talking to you, it belongs. Peace!

Rachel & Kelsey are my favorite sorry girls ❤️

Omg girl I love that jumper dress..

Incredible difference!!! I love the colors/wood. So warm. The divider is awesome!

I am in the process of buying my first home and this transformation made me a little more hopeful in my search for a home. It reminded me that I can suck it up with a tiny bathroom for sake of location and make affordable but changes to work for me!

Everything looks incredible

So beautiful Only thing I would have done extra is Pam t all the tile the same white with tile paint xx

I really really like that you're sharing all of the technical details! I often run into the issue that I know what I want to do but don't know what the tool is called in any of the 3.5 languages I speak 😂
