Let me first say, YES. $2000 is a lot of money. And more than many are willing and wanting to spend on a bathroom overhaul. On the flip side, chances are, if you've done ANY research into doing a bathroom renovation, you know that $2000 is actually a pretty small budget to have in order to redo an entire space.
So, you wanna see what we did with our 100% DIY bath and our 2k budget?

Here's what we started with. A pretty standard, builder-grade 1990's vintage bath. We had a timeline of 6 weeks to complete this project.
It's been like a marathon. And like Forrest Gump, it feels like we've been running for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours.
Oh look, there we are enjoying a nice glass of wine on date night...while framing out the new wall for the pocket door. That's romance, folks.
And there's the tile going in...
And it's done.
We also saved a boat load of cash by refinishing the tub/tile surround rather than replacing it! Cost $50 to brighten it up, and wasn't a hard DIY.
All in all, for LESS than $2k (our detailed budget/costs are on the post), we hope you like how it all turned out. No more "Run, Forrest Run" here for a while. We'll just sit on this bench and enjoy a little couples time in the park. Hmmm...this is kinda boring.
Enjoyed the project?
