    This video was sponsored by Smart Tiles.
    You’ll get lots of #smallbathroom decorating ideas in this video where I share how I helped a friend give his small half-bath a makeover with a budget of only $200. You’ll see how easy it is to install a Smart Tiles peel and stick backsplash ( amzn.to/2qmoaad), and how I managed to camouflage a very dated lighting fixture with a simple DIY cover. I also made a DIY over the toilet storage cabinet and finished off the makeover with a new vanity mirror and art. The whole thing cost $189, $11 under budget, and that includes the new mirror and wall art!
    Here is the cost breakdown of the makeover: (affiliate links unless stated otherwise!)
    Smart Tiles (Mosaik Capri Taupe - $43) : amzn.to/2qmoaad
    Light Fixture: $14
    Bathroom Cabinet: Building materials - $58 Chalk paint and wax Finish $26

    Wall art - Target ($20): bit.ly/2lYGhQC

      Yes, these are WONDERFUL. I used them in my kitchen and it looks like a regular backsplash. (Unless you look really close, but that's just due to my work).

    Nice update. These could be applied to a bathroom that's already in decent shape. I have 70's colored ceramic tile, colored porcelain bowls and toilets, discolored faucets and fixtures, and a vanity with peeling laminate. I probably should have skipped the video when I heard "$200". lol. What's amazing is how functional my bathrooms are after 40 years. No cracks or chips in any of the ugly tiles, no leaks or drips, everything just works. My biggest dilemma is that if I do a 'budget' remodel, I know it's not going to be nearly as durable as what I already have.

  • @jeweledcookies9680
    @jeweledcookies9680 5 років тому

    Ma’am!!!!! I have been watching your videos for the past couple days and they are so helpful! Even when they have nothing to do with any project I’m working on. Home decor videos are just lined up in my queue and I’m barely paying attention to them. So this one comes on and I look up and listen right as you talk about the front you built making your light look centered even though the actual light isn’t. And it was like 💡💡💡. I’m building a faux fireplace (I found you through your faux fireplace video) to cover my sisters existing fireplace until she can get the electric one installed, but it’s off center on the wall. And I just needed to watch this random bathroom video for it to click in my brain that I can build the faux one large enough to actually be centered! She’s going to lose it lol.

    I used these smart tiles in my 1/2 bathroom. Just like she did but without the edging. I didn't even know the edging existed. No one has ever noticed that they're not real tiles. For a small space they're awesome. Warning: measure twice cut once before you stick the tile to the wall. Once you stick they adhere quickly and have really strong grip. There is no moving them once stuck. They will rip the paint off your walls.

    I love how you think outside of the box. Want a challenge? Here it is, i rent and have the smallest walk in closet you could imagine. Promlem #1 the owner installed those wire shelves so im unable to slide my clothes when looking for something to wear and it makes hanging things up a pain in the butt. Problem 2; dear god my shoes! I have those shoe things that you can hang but it only accomodates like 8 pairs of shoes, seriously? My shoes are all over my closet floor. I could get a basket but wouldnt it be awesome to somehow utilize the ceiling space and somehow hang my shoes from the ceiling? Its such waisted space. So what do you think? I have faith in you to figure out my closet dilemma

  • @songbirdforjesus2381
    @songbirdforjesus2381 5 років тому

    Love what you did,, artistic, cheap, more upscale. Maybe it's me but I think the shelving over the toilet is too clunky. Everything else has a lighter feel. But, you deserve a thumbs up.

    I need to find some of those edges, it'll make my kitchen's backsplash look better. We used the stick on stuff for a quick and cheap look change, but the edges of it look awful.

  • @miainsel513

    How long did they tiles stay stuck? I used them in my bathroom and they began to peel off the wall taking the paint with them even after cleaning and prepping the wall before sticking them on.

    Why not spend as much time in the video on the cabinet as the sticky stuff? I know how to stick stuff to a wall, but building a cabinet would need some more explanation. I know it's sponsored, but that doesn't mean that the other DIY's are not worth time in the video...

  • @TeresaBeckett

  • @ApsaraMenaka

    wouldn't it be easier to start with the small tie in the corner? You only would have to cut the last tile and it would't be so tricky in the end?

  • @Velvet_Whisper
    @Velvet_Whisper 7 років тому

    would the peel and stick tile be a option for a renter? can it be removed?

    • @TheSmartTiles
      @TheSmartTiles 7 років тому

      Yes. They are easy to remove with little to no damage, depending on the surface they were installed on. To make it easy, use a blow dryer to warm up each tile to soften the adhesive and pull softly starting with the corners. Use a cleaning product to wash the wall and remove any excess glue left by the Smart Tiles.
