BATHROOM MAKEOVERS

What's Hot In Bathrooms Today?

Well it's definitely more than just hot water!

Bathroom makeovers and kitchen makeovers will bring you the best return on your money when you decide to sell. They are also the most costly.

Here are a few tips to add class and style to your bathroom makeovers without spending a fortune!

BATHROOM REMODELING TIPS

• Today's bathroom designs are featuring lots of glass- glass tiles, glass shower enclosures, sparkly glass chandeliers, and even glass countertops.

Glass adds such a classy look to any space, and in the bathroom even more so. I especially love working with glass tile. It comes in so many different sizes and shapes. It can be a little pricey but here's a trick when working with expensive tile:)Use it as an accent like creating a horizontal stripe or border, or as part of a small pattern...The possibilities are endless. Just use your less expensive tile as field tiles, and waLa! Gorgeous but it didn't break the bank!


Glass shower enclosures are expected in a high end bathroom. I wanted the look but my shower stall was not a standard size so I would have had to do custom. not really where I wanted to put my money at the time. So what did I do? I made a glass block panel and bought a standard size glass door. I love the look and have always loved glass block. I was able to do the work myself so it was very affordable and pretty easy to do! • Chandeliers are becoming the norm in today's bathroom makeovers. Lovely, especially over a beautiful claws foot tub. Keep your eyes open at flea markets, Craig's List, and Ebay for these treasures and don't be afraid of a little rust, they're not too expensive to re-glaze and rewire or paint.

High end faucets and hardware, brushed nickel, chrome, and rubbed bronze finishes are still at the top (remember the gold and brass of the past?). Here is another of my secrets... I find the best deals on High end faucets, sinks and hardware on Ebay. Just make sure it's from a reputable seller and what the return policy is and that it is the correct type for your sink.



I once purchased a gorgeous faucet from Ebay that looked like it was for a one hole sink but when I got it, it required three holes. I didn't read the description well enough, but the seller was nice enough to return it.

My High End Faucet For Bathroom Makeovers My Vessel Sink For Bathroom Makeovers
Lots of water jets and rain-shower heads. I've been lucky here with The Home Depot.

Natural stone flooring and countertops-If they are not in your budget, or you just don't want to spend all that dough on a bathroom counter than do like I did and use stone tile. I used Marble 2x2's. I just Love Carrera marble (it's white with grey veins) but I didn't want to spend that on my bathroom when I still need my kitchen done. So I settled and it came out great, and I still get the look! Pic Of My Vanity Tile And Sink In The bathroom

pebble tiles, subway tiles, mosaic tiles...I put subway tiles in my powder room and I created a mosaic border around them.

Trowel sinks,-nice to have one big sink instead of two to clean, but if you have a housekeeper than you might not care, it's just cool! You can probably find a great deal on Ebay.
Soaking tubs-egg shaped- Designer Sarah Richardson uses these a lot in her baths, she's on HGTV, "Sarah's House". She's the best! This is a pricey luxury. Check Ebay first.

Over the top lighting fixtures-chandeliers,sconces...

Vessel sinks.- again, some great finds on Ebay. I found my all my vessel sinks on Ebay. I especially love the blue flower sink in my powder room Powder room vanity idea for bathroom makeover

Fine Cabinetry -I love to find antique furniture and turn it into a vanity, it ads so much character, but there are some gorgeous cabinet vanities available, and wow they are pricey, but so worth it! If your trying to cut costs on your bathroom makeovers this is definitely where to do it.

Search flea markets and tag sales for pieces that can be converted into a vanity like I did in the bathroom pic above.
