Need Ideas for two bathrooms in house we're buying - PICTURES
Comments (6)trtsmb, true, just have to wait for some funds to come before I can redo it. I guess maybe I'll just do our bathroom and when the time comes to sell, if buyers would want a tub, will give some allowance or have one put back - we plan on being here a long time - may die in it for all we know! jjazzy, hmmm, I never thought the option of having a floating vanity! Where would you end up putting the register though? Great idea w/the vanity though. Thanks! I wouldn't make the closet go in to the b/r - no need and would lose too much space. monicae, couldn't wait that long, esp in that purple bathroom as it is - maybe other changes in the house I can wait, but not in there. I'd wait in the 2nd bathroom though, that would be easier for sure. THANKS!!!!!...See MoreBathroom sinks/vanity are IN bedroom, not bathroom- HUH?
Comments (30)My parents house is like that, but there’s a wall with a wide doorway into the area with the vanity, so it’s open but also easy to close off by just putting a curtain rail up. It’s also oriented to the room such that if you only use enough light at the vanity to wash your hands for a midnight potty run, it really isn’t enough to bother someone in the bed if you place the bed sensibly. Getting ready in the morning would be trickier if you needed to do makeup and so on so needed proper lighting, so that’s where a screen or a curtain would come in....See MoreChanging from carpet to tile in bathrooms
Comments (17)live_wire_oak Sorry about the bolding - just figured out how to fix it! Your suggestions are great, and I'd really like to hire someone (we have a decent contractor) who will let me be his helper bee on the first one. I agree on the half-hour clinic, too, because although he was a great guy and showed us some good things, when the clinic guy suggested that we tile around the toilet, it was an "uh-oh" moment. My husband was onboard with that. I was not. I'm so glad for input here on Houzz. I've tiled bathroom walls in the past, but it was just walls, and they stayed up for the almost 20 years we lived in the house and used the shower. That was easy, but these floors are a much different thing. I'm planning to use 8 X 8 porcelain tiles, spacers, and levelers so it at least comes out even and level. The tiles are the kind that have a slightly rounded edge, which I think will be the easiest to use, and to cut and nip into the right shapes when needed. It's all the prep work and the right materials that are the biggest issues. Thank you so much. "Stretch" is a relative term. We have money to deal with any possible emergency that could come up. We have the time to do much of the work ourselves, and we just don't want to go into savings any more than we need to. At this point, we own another home with no mortgage that we're selling, and if we don't sell it, we'll be renting it out, so we won't have a huge pot of money to spend if that happens....See MoreNeed flooring help for dressing area between bathroom and bedroom
Comments (10)Have you spoken to a real estate agent about selling your house? They know what buyers are looking for. However, I caution you to not spend too much money on everything you're doing. Different people like different things and you may find buyers who don't like what you did and won't buy the house because they don't feel comfortable removing brand new fixtures. Some people don't have a problem with things being somewhat worn because they prefer to make their own decisions on what color carpeting, tile, etc. are in their house. Also, in a hot market, people are much more accepting of houses that need some work....See MoreRelated Professionals
