Love the result! A quick tip is to fill your bathtub with water when you caulk or when you put weight in it while bathing or showering it can stretch the caulk and lead to cracking. I have caulked a few tubs in my time!
The tile job in the shower is truly the definition of "landlord special" looks great for what you were working with! I would definitely check for water damage around the shower fixture though. Had similar tile in my house growing up and they started falling out like that because everything behind it was water damaged and rotting
Love it! Biggest transformation: the caulk. Dang what a difference some fresh caulk makes! The wall ledge was a genius idea- it is small but adds so much! The divider is pretty. I have a tankless water heater in my laundry room that is an eye sore…and I’ve wanted to build a faux cabinet around it for a while, but maybe a divider like this would suffice…great job!
Love the transformation! Not sure if someone already mentioned it, but it's a good idea to fill the bath full of water when you do the silicone, to avoid it stretching/detaching when you eventually have a bath. Learned this from a bathroom fitter.
@@jackieb.1118the temperature doesn’t matter, you just want the weight of the water in the tub, because sometimes the tub will move or flex when it holds the water due to the weight
I’d also paint the inside of the over-the-toilet cabinet with the green. You’ll see it reflected in the mirror and it would tie in so nice. Love the divider!
I recognize Kelsey's green bathtub color as the new cabinet color! Also a pro tip: Get a grout cleaner and a toothbrush to remove the black stains from the grout in the shower :)
Amazing transformation! The divider you made is genius! I love all of the original ideas you implented and that it looks like it has always been there. I grow tired of all things amazon that look the exact same reveal after reveal. You have a great eye and great taste! You should be so proud!
this is rachael's best video yet. i really like how the changes make perfect sense for the space and add a lot of visual value/intrigue without looking cheap or cutting corners.
It looks amazing! But if you want to change the caulking around the tiles there is a special pen for it that comes in white, black and grey(as far as I know). And that could help with cohesiveness of the different tile colors!
loved this makeover! These are diys that even people with no experience or expensive tools can do and I loved the outcome, especially the room dewider is something that I wouldnt have thought of in a small bathroom, but it looks so good!
The divider and mini floating shelf are vital....so good for that space! The weird black handles on the hanging cabinet are, well, weird...that one is a no from me.
Beautiful! It does look unrecognizable from before. The all-black fixtures with the pale green and the divider are a good mix of modern and vintage. The one thing I'd have done different is leave the hanging light wire visible. I think with wires it's either hide it or embrace it, and the white covering ends up being more conspicuous. And since the wire is black it'd blend in well with the fixtures.
I honestly love the original 30s tiles around the outside walls. Ashame they ruined it in the tub but you did an excellent way to mask it. Now you can draw the curtain too when guests are over but still have light come through the divider. Genius idea Rachel 😌
This is absolutely realistic! The bathroom is tiny, and the problems are relatable. I feel like I could maybe do some of this! Maybe not the sawing yet, but the caulking for sure!
A great job on the space with the limitations you had to work in both in square footage and being renter friendly. You mentioned struggling with blending in plugged holes, I find using a plug cutter to get the material to fill the hole helps in blending since you are working with long grain as opposed to the end grain you get with a dowel. They are about the cost of a regular drill bit and work in any drill.
Well done, Rachael! Love your sense of humor too. Great ideas that I may steal from you-- especially the little shelf behind the door! Thanks for sharing!!
I am in the process of buying my first home and this transformation made me a little more hopeful in my search for a home. It reminded me that I can suck it up with a tiny bathroom for sake of location and make affordable but changes to work for me!
love how the divider totally changed the light of the space and the way the shadows fall-- very poetic! would try a grout brightening pen just to freshen up the tiles in the shower area even more.
Love this! that wall divider is so beautiful and it elevates the bathroom so much. Also, I hope your landlord is watching this. I like to shame building and home owners that rent to others. Make spaces better for your tenants people! They are so lucky to have you and all the UA-camrs that are making (and teaching how to make) spaces livable and beautiful!
They make really awesome durable paint for tile! It’s all about proper prep and seal! Painting the tiles all the same color would definitely hide the fact its mismatched. Gorg makeover!
I love everything here, but especially the tiny shelf behind the door! I've been trying to figure out what to do with a similar space in my bathroom because the bare wall just isn't the vibe. Thanks for sharing this beautiful transformation! ❤
I absolutely LOVED this video! 100% relatable, because a lot (if not most) of people live in apartments, with bathrooms very similar to this! :) Oh and - I absolutely adore all the videos by Rachael, something about her whole vibe and voice are so calm and soothing!
I love the partition! It gives it some romance. If you use a wet finger when you smooth out the caulk it makes less mess for you and the seam. I alternate wet rag/ dry rag for my finger.
Beautiful outcome! Such an improvement to what you originally had. My ONE qualm is I feel like the black handles on the cabinet above the toilet are a tad too bulky-looking. Other than that, it’s a win for me! 🙌🏽
I'm glad Rachael left the handle bar in the bathroom! Accessibility features are important and can also look nice. Reminds me one of our bathrooms in our house is so plain. We originally wanted to make it fun and vaporwave inspired but that's turned out to be quite challenging in a rental to find not affordable decor for so it needs a bit of a pivot, but hopefully can be worked on this summer.
You improved the space so much. Great problem solving with the light fixture and the screen. Love the little shelf and the cabinet addition. The one thing I would have liked to see is maybe a peel and stick wallpaper with a print to take away from the starkness. Maybe just one accent wall or maybe throughout. Something with the green of the vanity.
I get soooo many tips and really good guidance from you all the time. Sometimes when Kels or Beks share their ideas I find it hard to follow (thas a 'me' problem btw lol) but just wanted to share because Rach, you're a huge asset to the team and I appreciate you 😊☺
When I saw the thumbnail of the video in comparison to the starting product I thought you'd replaced the sink, so I was really surprised to see this was a no-demo renovation. Clearly being fooled means this was a total success 👍My favorite part is the skinny shelf behind the door, sleek yet functional 🍃
Thank you for showing us how to caulk! I’ve been needing to redo my kitchen sink but have felt so nervous because I have no idea what I’m doing - I’ll definitely be giving it a go with your tutorial in the background 😂
Big impact for a little space. Looks so cool, even the mismatched tile fits now. Great job. love the lamp and divider the best. Little shelf is the room talking to you, it belongs. Peace!
Pro-tip - when sealing corners with silicone sealant (NOT caulk, which is not water resistant like silicone sealant is), after adding your bead along the edge, spray it with soapy water before spreading with your finger or tool. This avoids it sticking to everything and gives a nice smooth finish :)
When I caulked my bathroom, I cut about 4" off the corner of a basic plastic shopping bag (the kind some cities are banning) and wrapped my finger with it to get a super smooth caulk line and no mess on my finger.
Soo many issues in this bathroom, you've done such a great job at making it look the best you possibly could with your skills and what you have. Love how you bring us real solutions to rl problems many on a tiny budget face. Great job!
Really beautiful solutions for some very weird problems! The only thing I can't get past is the gold handles on the sink unit when all the other fixtures are black?? I dunno.... I love the storage above the toilet! That turned out really beautiful! Chefs kiss 💋
I am very distracted by the sudden pop of green and golden handles in the vanity in contrast with all the black around it, but other that I LOVE this makeover, I was waiting for a video like this and I got true inspiration from it. Great job👏🏻👏🏻
Great job! I love the green cabinet especially and you did a great job with the caulking - makes such a difference. I thought you were going to paint the wall cabinet green as well but the stain turned out better than I was expecting. The divider looks great but if it is such a tight fit, I'd keep an eye on it as there doesn't seem much room for the wood to expand with heat or moisture. Watch out for any buckling or warping. If it's a issue, you may be able to sand down the top/bottom to give it that extra bit of wiggle room.
Looks great! Nice final touches. Please clean the grout in the shower. Liquid Barkeeper’s Friend and a grout brush works wonders because of the oxalic acid in it.
I love everything you did! The only thing I would have done differently is replace the brass ceiling mount cover with a plain, flat white cache so that you don't see it from the side. 😘
*Love the Divider, Mirror and Light fixture* . I will never think I have a tiny bathroom again. I was fortunate to purchase a home with a remodeled bathroom. New tile, breadboard and that picture ledge. I'm a lover of cottage styling and it suits my one person household. That was a challenging space to work with, love what you accomplished!
I wonder how many water splashes that divider can last, and also why the Hackas handles were not placed on the outer side of the doors, using the pre-existing holes. Was pleased to learn how to stain/paint veneer! Thanks for that!
I love this no demo makeover!! The divider is the best bit, but everything looks amazing together. If the dowel holes really bother you, you could swap & flip the doors so they're on top and not as visible. More videos from Rachael please!!
This is the content I've been longing for. Our home is under 700sq ft. Our bathroom is 6x4 and set up very much like yours. It all takes creative solutions.
Soo many smart solutions to weird random issues in your bathroom! It makes it so relatable. Awesome, Rachel!
there is always a solve!!!
@@TheSorryGirlsSuper job! New subscriber 😊
Great makeover! I've seen the use of tub/tile resurfacing products. Might be a good way to unify all the types of tile to a single color, at least.
Such a big do-over for such a little space. The bathroom now has so much style and personality. Brava Rachel.❤
Love the result! A quick tip is to fill your bathtub with water when you caulk or when you put weight in it while bathing or showering it can stretch the caulk and lead to cracking. I have caulked a few tubs in my time!
great tip! thank you!!
Not doing this is what causes most problems. Great tip.
Would have loved to see the added element of Rachael sloshing in the water. Cue additional slipping moment. 😂
I had thought the same thing, I'm speaking from my own experience lol. I did the same mistake and now I have to fix it.
I'm about to re-caulk our stand-up shower because it is BAD. Any tips for caulking a shower (no tub)?
Not a fan of the handles being in the middle of the over the toilet cabinet, but everything else is 💯
Yeah they would of looked better going horizontal on the bottom!
Looked so out of place
Was looking for this comment. Aside from looking weird, I feel like it would be awkward to open
I thought gold ones to match the ones on the vanity would have looked better.
@@baltmv omg yes!
Definitely think you should’ve painted the over the toilet cabinet, the same green as your sink stand…… love the divider
I came to say the same! Maybe do the stain technique in that inset area of it, but all the rest of it green would have really looked great.
Yes and that I would have attached the black handles in the corners the previous handle's hole didn't need filling or would hide it
Agreed.
i think it's nice matching the wood tones and reflecting the divider. sink stands alone as a setpiece imo. great reno!
I like the wood tone but I would have painted the inside of the bottom cubby that same green from the vanity!
The tile job in the shower is truly the definition of "landlord special" looks great for what you were working with! I would definitely check for water damage around the shower fixture though. Had similar tile in my house growing up and they started falling out like that because everything behind it was water damaged and rotting
That may be the reason for the different tiles. (Spot treatments).
The divider really is the key item that gives the bathroom a whole new vibe!! Love the style❤
yah and I know it looks hard but it really was easy to make!
Love it! Biggest transformation: the caulk. Dang what a difference some fresh caulk makes! The wall ledge was a genius idea- it is small but adds so much! The divider is pretty. I have a tankless water heater in my laundry room that is an eye sore…and I’ve wanted to build a faux cabinet around it for a while, but maybe a divider like this would suffice…great job!
yes!! we did something similar for a laundry room makeover to hide a water tank!! ua-cam.com/video/KSI6YPw5Qhw/v-deo.html
I'm renting as well the and the caulk as super moldy and I went and fixed with some brand new caulk and it looks so much better
Love the transformation! Not sure if someone already mentioned it, but it's a good idea to fill the bath full of water when you do the silicone, to avoid it stretching/detaching when you eventually have a bath. Learned this from a bathroom fitter.
Should the water be hot or does it not matter?
@@jackieb.1118the temperature doesn’t matter, you just want the weight of the water in the tub, because sometimes the tub will move or flex when it holds the water due to the weight
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that tip!
JUST ABOUT TO TACKLE MY SAD EXCUSE OF A BATHROOM and seeing what you've done to this little room is giving hope for mine.
That divider is genius. It divides the shower off so nicely and makes the space feel way more luxurious.
I’d also paint the inside of the over-the-toilet cabinet with the green. You’ll see it reflected in the mirror and it would tie in so nice. Love the divider!
Yes! I sooooo wanted that cabinet to be all green! That green is gorgeous 💚💚💚
I recognize Kelsey's green bathtub color as the new cabinet color! Also a pro tip: Get a grout cleaner and a toothbrush to remove the black stains from the grout in the shower :)
You literally just elevated this tiny old bathroom by 100000 fold. Im in awe. Where was this video when I lived in my old apartment?!
Amazing transformation! The divider you made is genius! I love all of the original ideas you implented and that it looks like it has always been there. I grow tired of all things amazon that look the exact same reveal after reveal. You have a great eye and great taste! You should be so proud!
You did a really nice job of making a boring bathroom much more interesting. The divider was a great idea as well as the interesting light fixture. ❤
I definitely needed a video like this. I’m getting so much inspiration to design my space
yay! love to hear this!
I love little updates like this, where basicially 200 bucks & a coat of paint make it feel fresh and 3x as clean.
this is rachael's best video yet. i really like how the changes make perfect sense for the space and add a lot of visual value/intrigue without looking cheap or cutting corners.

There’s Black caulking??? 😮
@@WaterBearer789 Yes!🤩
@@xiaonihao7440 That is EXCITING! Thanks for that!
WOW! This looks a thousand times better. And that super skinny shelf behind the door is genius. Great job!
So so so so soooooo good! That divider is chefs kiss!!!!
I love it, especially the green cabinet under the sink ✨ so much I think you should've painted the other the same too 😂
loved this makeover! These are diys that even people with no experience or expensive tools can do and I loved the outcome, especially the room dewider is something that I wouldnt have thought of in a small bathroom, but it looks so good!

The divider and mini floating shelf are vital....so good for that space! The weird black handles on the hanging cabinet are, well, weird...that one is a no from me.
Much improved. Paint the open part of the over the toilet cabinet the same green as the vanity.

Good job👍

My faves are the light fixture and narrow shelf, such little things but so much impact. Fun!
You are definitely talented for handling odd layouts of construction . Definitely like your style of decor. Good job gal.
I'm stunned by how beautiful this bathroom turned out😮 I would have never thought it possible to make it look this nice😅
it looks soooo much better. love these videos that are renter friendly(ish) lol
hahaha yes, renter friendly (aka approved by landlord but can be adjusted to be more renter friendly if needed)
It's fun watching a Canadian diy a PH lamp. Basically every Dane has at least one from heritage . It's so nice.
Love the divider you installed. Quite 'simple' but gives it some sort of privacy feeling.
Such creativity and artistry, excellent job!!!

Brilliant changes! It looks so much better and is elegantly decorated.

Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly. Makes it so much easier for me to try myself! Great makeover!!! Looks amazing!!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
