Small Bathroom Remodel

There are a lot of tips when taking on projects in your house. I am sharing 3 tips today!

1. When you think about looking at remodeling a small bathroom space, I recommend looking on Pinterest for inspiration.

2. Ask around for quality contractors who can complete the work – insured, reputation, examples of finished work and most importantly, a timeline.

3. Make sure you have plenty of money to complete the task. If you estimate the bathroom will be $6,000 – make sure you have $10,000 available for the unexpected surprises. Surprises from my own renovations.. moving a plumbing line, replacing a line, or simply covid costs.

Let’s start with the before pictures for this renovation.

There is nothing wrong with this bathroom space; it is a bit dated and worked well circa 1990’s.

After taking some time to reflect on what could be done; modern – black and white was the final choice! See the completed renovation

You may be wondering if this is in my current house and it is not. Since I love remodeling and designing; this was a fun project at a friend’s house. I drew the plans, mapped out the style, helped navigate the details on the cheap, and voila!

The estimated cost for materials was $5500 including the shower glass and vanity (the most expensive pieces) and always estimate labor at 40-50% of the material cost. This is a rough estimate of the work – if everything is demo before the contractor starts – the price can go down significantly.
