  • The space was originally 2 separate rooms-a tiny toilet, shower, single sink and a vanity area.  We removed the wall and 2 closets to make one open space. 2
  • Because this was a total DIY project, we were able to complete a much higher end looking bathroom for $7,000. 1
  • These mirrors (from Lowes) and sconces (from Home Depot) were both very affordable options and I love the look they create in the bathroom. 2
  • The pedestal tub is my favorite addition to the space.

An Inexpensive Way to Hide All Those Tools

My husband wanted a new tool chest for all his new tools, but I wasn't willing to shell out $400 for a brand new one. Instead, we got creative with what we had. We have a basement full of ...»
unpainted furniture that I haven't gotten around to painting yet, and this dresser was the perfect fit for a tool chest.

We removed the bottom drawers and dividers and replaced them with two doors. This gives a larger space to store our bigger tools and still keeps them hidden away. After all the building portion was done, I gave it a fresh coat of paint and updated the door and drawer pulls. #BeforeandAfter
