Master Bathroom Paint Colors, Budget + Source List

The main goal of this blog is to inspire others to make their home simply beautiful on a budget.

 

Not everyone can afford the average cost of a remodeling a bathroom. Considering we were starting off with a room that had no plumbing, ours would’ve been at least $12,000 in our area if we hadn’t done all the work ourselves. We were able to add value to our home without having to use credit cards and ended up spending less than half of what it would have cost if we hired the work out to a contractor. It also took making wise choices with materials and not going overboard with the plumbing fixtures. 

My husband’s job is to use his prior expertise in construction to make sure the work is done correctly and to code. 

My job is to do the research and shop around to get the best deal so I can get the designer look for less and share it with you. Kinda like that friend that you love to go shopping with because she knows how to find all those great deals.

 

Friends that know how to shop and keep secrets…now, those are the kind of friends you need to keep.

 

We love the farmhouse style for our home’s interior, but we also wanted to add timeless touches and classic elements when designing our master bathroom. Above all, we needed a functional space without having to blow the budget.

Our goals for the remodeling the en suite bathroom where the following:
  • Make the space timeless and fitting with our hundred year old home
  • Find affordable fixtures that look high end
  • and DIY as much as possible

Our choices may not be for everybody but they can be a guide for when you’re planning on doing your own bathroom makeover.

So with all that being said, I’m sharing the budget breakdown and all the sources of our master bathroom.

 We started from scratch since we turned guest bedroom next to the master bedroom into a combination of en suite bathroom, walk in closet, and half bath. As you can see, we have many more makeovers to share with you in the future!

    […]  The thing that saved us the most money was building the cabinets in place so there wasn’t the need to place wood on the back and on one wall inside the cabinets. When you open the cabinets, the shiplap is exposed, which is my favorite part of the room anyways. Why cover it up? ????We also saved money by using a combination of cabinet grade plywood and 1/4″ luan. Once you sand the edges, fill the edges with spackle, sand again, then paint, you can’t tell the cabinets were made with plywood. We used this same technique when we made our vanity in our master bathroom remodel.  […]
