    am i the only one that strongly dislikes both?? i mean the checker pattern is so excessive and i feel like the wall paper and shower curtain dont compliment the checker pattern at all. I love the medicine cabinet and the long shelf. For the full renovation bathroom, I used to have a black toilet, and let me tell you it was horribly difficult to clean since you can't see anything. The large slabs of stone would be beautiful if they weren't orange. it looks unnatural stone to me or faux. but just my opinion, if the clients like it that's all what matters :)

      Wut? How is any of this 'renter friendly?'
      Opposite.
      These are very specific overhauls that would infuriate a landlord.
      Colored toilet?
      Weird orange swirl stone on two-thirds of the wall? Removing a tub??
      No way.

      @@sunshinelawfan7693 There are two bathrooms being redone in this video, and one incorporates no architectural changes, just peel and stick tile, a shelf, and other readily reversible cosmetic changes that are friendly to renters. You can see that bathroom in the preview picture, in which the tub is still very clearly present. The changes you cite are all in the other bathroom, and these changes were at no point presented as renter-friendly. Indeed, the video description itself says "With two very different budgets, Darren shares his ideas for a high-cost full renovation versus a cheaper, renter-friendly remodel."

    I applaud Darren's passion for interior design but I'm rarely happy with the outcome. When you don't have a lot of money, the last thing you want a designer to do is make a space too trendy or too on trend bc that person may never be able to afford another reno. I really love watching Darren so I mean no ill will. Just being honest.

    We are getting new windows and having a stain removed this month. We have no tile. I wanted tiles. No one will put tile over a stained floor, and we stained floors in 2008, and it is flaking off a little at a time. Making changes is not easy. I have to remove furniture and art. Grinding concrete so the stain is not there anymore so we might put tile on the floor one day (we are nearly 70, so who knows). Is this going to be a nightmare? Probably. I may be making the biggest mistake of my life. I can always buy rugs.
