Our DIY remodel on a 7x9 bathroom ran about $5000, a month of work with a few weeks prep beforehand and a month finishing afterwards (handles, baseboards, minor details). We closed off a doorway, replaced vanity and floor, re-enameled the tub and replaced the tub surround, kept the toilet. All in keeping with our compromise between too many ideas, and avoiding being the fanciest house on our fairly basic street. - $250 materials + 7 days to close off a door, reframe that wall, and drywall; also fix and skimcoat the manky old ceiling. - $550 lighting: $200 vent fan/light, $40 can light, $200 vanity lights, $75 or so on various outlets, switches, a timer switch for the fan, electrical boxes etc. - $500 flooring: adhesive, grout, and tile, Armstrong Alterna (powdered stone in a vinyl matrix, I love it!) - $1300-1400 Miracle Method: ~$500 for tub re-enamel, ~$800 for fiberglass tub surround fit/install. - $1800 for vanity setup: $950 60" vanity (RTA bamboo from Domain Cabinets Direct), $450 Swanstone top from Lowe's, $100 Delta faucet (internet order), $250 Kohler medicine cabinet, $50 handles - $350 finishing touches: $175 hardware (towel/shower bar), $100 soft goods (shower curtain, rug, towels), $75 paint and art. Add to that, another $500 in contractor fees for my father-in-law: several bottles of wine, and dinner at a good restaurant!

myricarchitect - Thank you for your response. So, you used the SIDLER Tall cabinet over your sinks then. It is this one: https://www.sidler-international.com/collections/tall-mirrored-medicine-cabinet/ Yes, this collection is one of our non-electrical cabinets. There are other options we have with electrical and lighting, which we can customize the sizing. And yes, we would love some pictures of how it turned out. Thank you! I will private message you. Do you also have an IG page as well? Yes, I know about the Robern Uplift. We have the SIDLER Sidelight, which has a thinner door that lifts up, but our cabinet runs on a different tracking system (counter balanced) and when the door lifts up, the light still stays intact within the cabinet itself. So, there are some differences. I will private message you. Thank you again.

And must it be Monaco? All those tennis players! A resounding YES!.... please, pretty please. Oh you need convincing do you? Let me roll up my Canali sleeves and get started. My best friend Carl lives here. Good reason. My 3 life desires are all here. Beach. Sun. Ocean. Warmth. Beach. Ocean. Sun. Big Mountain behind beach, 24 hour bullet proof security. Did I mention Ocean? It is the entire Cote D'Azur's best beach. It's actually a designated Marine Park and YES millions of stunning colored fish actually tickle you and egg you on to play. Even my mask gets overwhelmed! Carrefour- The most stunning Supermarket on the face on the earth. Our whole country is less than 3 square km's! Think of how toned we'll be walking back and forth. And don't worry about Venezia or Umbria, we can do those on weekends in the Alfa along with Verona! And Yes, you can have your Bughatti as the second car. Here is a link that might be useful: Verona

phyl - about the quality? about the acronym? Sorry -- how do I know what? :) About the quality -- well, I know it the same way everyone else knows it -- you see it in someone's house and you think "hey, that looks pretty fine" and then you look closer. You see it in a store and you think - hey, that looks great, only ... then you look closer. You see what these things look like in houses with time. I see them online and living in a massive urban importing-area (LA), I even at one point noticed an online place that had a "warehouse/showroom" close-ish to me (40 min drive) so I went to look at the stuff. And it looks neat there in person, too. But the quality isn't great. There's massive amounts of wasted space between drawers, and pressboard, and staples -- all the stuff we all know about regarding kitchen cabinets. It's all the same-old. And sometimes we're OK with lesser quality; heck we most of us will die before even these lower-quality cabinets deteriorate anyway. But truthfully, my maquilladora-hand/custom-made kitchen cabinets make me smile every day ..... oh wait, I'm suddenly remembering what you meant in the "how do you know" department!! Didn't I say ask me about the faucet-sink mismatch!? lol. Well --- OK, so you're not wanting diatribe #47 about why I'm completely non-plussed about bathroom cabinetry and am still living with a non-functional bathroom after 2 years .... it's the faucet story you want! :) OK - I bought a really nice sideboard used to make into a vanity for my kids' bathroom and wanted, per their instructions, for the sink to be "pretty" -- so I got a really pretty sink bowl and then went to look for faucets to match its 'prettiness' with the help of I thought a really good small-time favorite-of-the-trades plumbing shop locally, run by a real live person-who-knows-everything. She steered me to these "perfect" faucets that were really pretty and matched the sink perfectly only ... somehow she managed to forget to think about the throw, or whatever the correct word is, of that faucet. It's way too close to the back edge of the sink. It's been a constant headache ever since. Constant. I'm so annoyed! This is supposed to have been her specialty and honestly, it's not rocket science. What else is there to think about if you're selling faucets to go with a sink? *I* didn't know about it because I'd never done this before! But I won't make that same mistake again and you shouldn't either. Make sure the faucet's spout comes out far enough to be close-ish to the sink's drain hole. :) OK, so that's what you wanted to know, right? sigh.... There is not one single solitary day for two years now I have not rued the choice of those faucets! Beware!!!!
