Step 5: Easy-to-Install Flooring: I used two kinds of tile, one solid and one patterned. I arranged the tiles so that the patterned ones were in the center and the solid tiles formed a border around the edges. Harvey Maria, the maker of these tiles, has a lot of great information about instillation on its website and even a few really helpful video tutorials! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

We were hired to combine the main hall bath and a 1/2 bath of the master bedroom. The main bathroom was partially gutted when we started the design project as a severe water event had occurred. The client wanted an economical, but modern looking remodel that would be appealing to buyers in the future when she needed to sell and move to a retirement community as she currently lived alone. The new tub/shower is in the location of the original 1/2 bath. Our homeowner wanted an easy to clean. but modern looking shower and vanity. Lanmark by Lane Marble was chosen as it has no grout and is a seamless product similar to Corian. We created 2 niches in the shower to store bottles to keep them off the tub deck and prevent them from slipping into the shower. An American Standard Princeton bathtub was chosen, so when the client eventually left her home, her home would be appealing to families with small children. For the vanity the same Lanmark color was chosen with 2 integrated sinks for easy cleaning. Delta and Moen faucets, showerheads, and accessories were mix and matched to update the bathroom. Vinyl flooring was also chosen for its ease of cleaning and care. Bamboo cabinetry was added to provide a modern,, timeless, and warm wood tone to the space. In this small home, storage is badly needed so I created a large linen cabinet with a pull-out shelf on the lower shelf for easier access for that shelf. The original 1/2 bath window in the new tub/shower area was replaced with a new vinyl window and wrapped with Lanmark to provide a watertight system. To give plenty of lighting at the vanity, George Kovacs LED lights fixtures were installed over each sink. This bathroom is now a light and bright space that will be functional and beautiful for years to come. This project was designed for and completed by Corvallis Custom Kitchens and Baths.

This was a very clean update to the bathroom that gave it a very calm feeling. Soft paint colours played really well on the wood grain cabinets

Step 5: Easy-to-Install Flooring: Like the wall tiles, the flooring was in pretty solid shape but far from stylish. So with the help of a gorgeous line of linoleum tiles I gave the bathroom floor a major upgrade. There are some really huge advantages to working with linoleum. For starters, installing it is super easy, and you need only a utility knife to cut it and a little contact cement to hold it in place. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

The Finished Bathroom AFTER: A new large round mirror above the sink gave the room some much-needed personality and creates the illusion of more space. To install the new mirror I unscrewed the door of the old medicine cabinet from the wall. With the door gone I hung the mirror right over the recessed part of the cabinet, rendering it inaccessible for daily use, but luckily we’d added storage elsewhere. Next, I switched out the old light for this cool long-arm sconce. I feel pretty comfortable changing out light fixtures, but if you’re not, definitely hire a pro to help. Both of these simple changes are great solutions for renters! Just rehang the original light and the mirrored door when you leave. To finish things off, a couple of sleek new hooks were added to the wall for hanging towels or robes. By far the best part of the entire process was welcoming my friends to their new and improved bathroom! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 6: Creative Storage Solutions: While the previous cabinet below the sink did provide more storage than the new pedestal sink, it still wasn’t enough. I added a glossy blue campaign dresser that more than compensates for the storage we gave up with the cabinet—and it also provides additional counter space! When looking for nontraditional bathroom storage options, scale is everything. This piece is actually a bedside table. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 8: Infusing Personality and Style: A new large round mirror above the sink gave the room some much-needed personality and creates the illusion of more space.

Step 7: A New Color Palette: It’s no surprise to anyone that a fresh coat of paint goes a long way toward reviving a space. I wanted the bathroom to retain a light and airy vibe, so I painted the walls a soft gray, which also helps the white tiles pop as a design feature. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Tip: To make sure your plumbing appointment is efficient, discuss everything in detail with your plumber before he or she gets started; you might even want to schedule a quick consultation before install day. That way you know you have the correct hardware on hand and can avoid delays. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 3: A Bit of Problem-Solving: Our plumber also replaced the shower fixtures. It turned out that in order to swap out the shower hardware we also needed to replace a valve behind the wall. That sounds scary, but it’s not, especially when you hire a pro to do it for you! I provided our plumber with a few extra tiles, and he was able to open up the wall, change the valve, and patch it with matching tiles. Because our tile was so basic, finding a few matching ones at the home improvement store was an inexpensive and easy fix. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

The Bathroom BEFORE: When I first saw the space this summer I knew it had potential. By focusing on a few simple upgrades, I was able to transform the space without the bathroom ever being out of commission or breaking the bank. See how this contractor-free renovation went down in a matter of days with a little planning and some creative problem-solving. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 2: Call in the Pros: With my fixtures on the way my next move was to hire a plumber to handle the install. I know what you’re thinking: “But this is a DIY!” After countless DIY projects, I’ve learned that knowing when to delegate is the most valuable DIY skill to have in your tool belt. In one day the plumber removed the old vanity and installed our new sink, something that would have taken me weeks to do on my own. If you’re confident replacing plumbing, though, then by all means go for it! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 1: Out with the Old: The most costly and time-consuming part of a bathroom renovation is relocating plumbing and electrical fixtures. The demo involved can leave the space unusable for weeks, with walls that need repair and tiles that need replacing. So I decided to leave the existing bathroom layout in place but replace the sink and tub fixtures. After some careful measuring to make sure everything would fit, I ordered a new sink and faucet to replace the existing boxy cabinet and dated fixture. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 4: A Quick Tile Fix: With the plumbing fixtures updated I turned my attention to the tile. If budget and time were no object, Glen and Louise would have preferred to replace the tiles with a more interesting option. In reality, however, that option was out. On the upside, the tiles were in good shape and relatively inoffensive. To add a little graphic oomph, I used a paint-on grout dye to darken the existing white grout lines. The process of dyeing grout is really simple: You paint the product on and then wipe away the excess with a paper towel or a rag. Don’t worry; the dye stains only the grout joints. I found that working on small sections of wall works best. If you try to cover too much space at a time you’ll end up really needing to scrub to get the dye off. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez
