I am finally doing this! I live in my parents house but they trust me completely to remodel the rooms assigned to me (bedroom with attached bath, walk in closet, and I remodeled the laundry room as well since I'm right near it)
I fully redid my bedroom with new flooring, recessed lights, a new ceiling fan, switches, outlets, scraped the ceiling, repainted everything, etc and it looks great! Here's the B$A on that:
Well now I'm tackling the bathroom, I had spruced it up before by refinishing the cabinets and replacing the hardware and all in all it was pretty nice, but there was one big ugly elephant in the room and that was the fluorescent light box over the vanity, I hated it! I tried to make it nicer by putting in a silvery grill but ultimately it was still big and ugly...if I could have removed it without having to redo the walls I would have (I like the wallpaper) but I can't so I decided on an all out remodel to include: New black granite Vanity top, new toilet, new lighting (both ceiling and wall), new towel bars and other hardware, switch plates. I like the cabinets the way they are and the floor is quite nice so I'm keeping them. The walls will be painted a shade of blue I haven't quite decided on yet and they'll have white beadboard on the lower half.
