Making a Trendy Bathroom for Cheap!

Happy 16th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

My parents are such great people. They have both worked hard for me and my sibblings our whole lives. Without them we wouldn't be the people we are today. So for their Anniversary we wanted to really give back. SO... We redid their bathroom!

Now i have some amazing skills, (pats self on back) and I have great friends and family that go along with my crazy. So putting this back together was alot easier then you would think. We had a 100.00 budget and we didn't break it! Thats right, we fixed this bathroom in 6 hours and with only 100$. And i'll walk you through how.

First you need a bathroom in NEED of love...

OK, This WAS my parents bathroom. Everything had rust, and was falling apart. Dirty and broken. So many things in need of replacement. Hard water, chipping paint.

First thing we did was strip everything. We used paint scrapers, and Lysol 4in1 with bleach, and old wash rags. Prep and cleaned everything. That was the most time consuming part.

Once we were done with that, we laid the first coat of "Tuff as Tile" on our bathtub. That takes 2 hours to set.

We then set to work on the walls. We used Valspare Paint with Primer, Semi Gloss. I picked a Dark Brown so that it would hid the current stains and would hide any future stains and imperfections.

After the paint was on the walls we laid a thick coat of "Tuff as Tile" on the tile walls surrounding the tub.

Then we set to work finishing the final coat on the tub.

We wanted Matching and Updated Decor and Accesories. I got the flowers from the DI as well as the shower curtain hooks, and the wroght iron candle holder.

The shower curtain, towels, rugs and towel hooks were purchased from walmart.

Here is our Cost Breakdown:

• 3.00/ Western Horse, Shower hooks/ DI
• 11.98/ 3 White Bath Towels/ Walmart
• 3.98/ 2 Beige Floor Matts/ Walmart
• 1.50/ Floral Arrangement/ DI

So we went slightly over... But those Horse hooks were a NEED ;)
