Bathroom makeover

Very pleased & proud of how this room turned out.

Took a couple of weeks to complete, lots of evenings & weekend.
was on a strict budget and wanted to get the look for less
Bought everything from Bunnings (of course) & made smart choices with materials and products.
Too save money and to reuse/recycle, we kept the shower base & screen

Absolutely incredible transformation @craftyhopper. Well done.

If you feel comfortable, could you share your budget for this project so that members can see what is achievable on a restricted budget?

You should be so proud of yourself. This is an outstanding makeover.

With such a small budget I calculated every single thing we needed, even down to the tile spacers and if we had to buy a tool or a drill bit that we didn’t have.
I achieved all this for just under $2,000!

Mind you, I did get an absolute bargain clearance price on the sink and tap. But without the clearance price I’d have still been under $2,500!

My trick to get the look for less was to use the basic white tile to keep thing fresh and to use other materials that are cheaper, but give a great result ☺️

Exactly what I was thinking of doing. Can I ask how much gap you allowed between the panelling and the tiles and the panelling and the ceiling cornice? Also did you attach directly to the existing walls and how did you cover any gaps?

This is such an incredible transformation and I can’t believe you the budget that you were able to do it on! It’s just unreal!

Could I ask; your mirror…(I absolutely love it!)…how did you make it? Would love to do something like it.

Hi @Jesse1

Thanks for the question.
The panel was cut to fit as close as possible to the tile and cornice.
I actually painted it before it went up. That way I could get the edges perfect.
As it fitted the space there were no gaps to fill, except the pin holes from the fixing gun & I just used an interior filler.

Hi @Eight

@Thank you for the kind words. I really do love this bathroom!
The mirror is actually from Bunnings. It’s 70cm and I think it was about $75.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ll post some before and after photos once we get going. I’m actually one job ahead of myself as we are about to tackle the laundry first. Just waiting on the plumber next week to move the taps for the washing machine. I’ll post some photos of that job as we get started. Thanks again, really helpful.

ps. Love your finished job.

Good luck @Jesse1

I can’t wait to see how it all comes together 😊
