Yikes!īe sure to read the reveal post if you have any source questions. The full budget breakdown of a completely DIY bathroom remodel. And I really wanted to push my interior design skills with this one since it was part of a competition, so I just went for it.Īnywhoobs, there you have it. Everything is high quality and really luxurious and we basically replaced everything. Normally I am a pretty frugal gal, so I’ll admit that when I added up the total cost, it was more than I would have guessed. Oh well! We made it through the most stressful six weeks ever and we’re still married, so that counts for something. The original tub is fine, but it’s amazing how “fine” looks awfully shabby when it’s next to “all-new.” My husband didn’t want to change the tub and I gave in, but I still think it’s a mistake. I regret not changing out the tub while we had the chance. I don’t know… is that how you do things like this? If it wasn’t nailed down or “installed” I figured that it wasn’t included in the cost of the remodel since we would take those things with us if we moved. I didn’t include the cost of decorations, art, shower curtains, drawer organizers, etc. I can’t imagine having the extra stress of a junky tool.

I have included the cost of the products in this total, but that money didn’t come out of pocket for us since I worked for trade. We were working at such a frantic pace to complete the space in just six weeks that I didn’t keep track of costs as thoroughly as I normally would, but I think this estimate is pretty darn close to what we spent and would only be off by a few hundred if there were small things like caulk and nails that I forgot to account for.Īnother tricky part about sharing the budget is that I received free product from two companies in exchange for creating content for them. It can be weird to talk about money, but transparency is so helpful in the planning stages, so here we are.
