How To Update An Outdated Bathroom On A Budget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you tired of looking at the same, old bathroom decorations (or lack thereof) day after day and wanting some easy bathroom remodel ideas on a budget? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is exactly how my mom felt about her guest bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wanted to create a modern and clean-looking bathroom when her guests stayed. In its current state, her bathroom made you feel more like you were at your grandma’s house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOT the vibe she was desiring at all. Lucky for her, I have been dying to give that bathroom a total makeover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I will walk you through the steps I took to refresh her outdated bathroom and bring it from \u201cplain & boring\u201d to \u201cmodern & fabulous\u201d, so you can refresh your outdated bathroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will also show you how I did it all while staying on a budget because nobody\u2019s got time to pay expensive contractors for things we can do by ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive on in!<\/p>\n\n\n

I was able to makeover this bathroom for less than $500! (Less than $250 if you don’t include the new laminate flooring.) What a transformation for such a small budget!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    One: Get Down Low & Dirty And Deep Clean Like You Mean It!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first idea for the bathroom remodel ideas on a budget is to CLEAN OUT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am sure you’ve been there – you can\u2019t fully visualize a room\u2019s capabilities until you clean out the crap & clean up all the little nooks and crannies. So that\u2019s where I started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I took out everything from the vanity and shower & either threw it away or organized it with other similar items into plastic grocery bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nothing feels better to me than throwing away old junk that I\u2019m not sure why I keep around for so long!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    I went through all the stuff on top of and inside the vanity. Talk about a major clean UP and clean-out!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, I took off all the fixtures on the walls (including the towel bars, old pictures, toilet paper holder, outlet covers, trash can, and so on).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After everything was cleared out and thrown away or organized, I wiped everything down with a kitchen degreaser (I used Easy-Off found at Amazon<\/a>, and it cut right through the dirt on my cabinets!) to prep my surfaces for the next step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even clean in those drawers, on the walls around the sinks, and all the wall fixtures you\u2019re going to keep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be prepared to be grossed out by how dirty your room is. It\u2019s okay, it happens to the best of us! Now we\u2019re ready for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
