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!
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.
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!
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)?
Such a big do-over for such a little space. The bathroom now has so much style and personality. Brava Rachel.❤
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).
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 :)
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
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 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!
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 💚💚💚
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.
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 :)
That divider is genius. It divides the shower off so nicely and makes the space feel way more luxurious.
That divider-idea is borderline genius!🤩 I am going to steal it😁
Good job👍
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?!
I live in Nigeria and we have no home depots and the cost to do any type of room makeover😂. But I'm obsessed with the sorry girls❤❤. Love you guys.
I love it, especially the green cabinet under the sink ✨ so much I think you should've painted the other the same too 😂
Yeps I'd see it green with same brass handles
Had to laugh when I saw all the different tiles in your bathroom. Makes you wonder what they were thinking! Looks so much nicer now, Rachel!
Tip for the mold on the grout. I swear by Tilex, it's been a wonder destroying mold. And it's just a spray you leave on for like 10-15minutes and then wipe away
I was concerned that she gave such a cursory cleaning of the mold between the tile and tub. Won’t the mold just start growing back under the new calandra make an even bigger mess?
Landlord Special: Tile Edition. Love that you got more much needed storage
WOW! This looks a thousand times better. And that super skinny shelf behind the door is genius. Great job!
Much improved. Paint the open part of the over the toilet cabinet the same green as the vanity.
Ask the landlord if you can just paint the tiles white- he should pay you for improving his bathroom:)
👀😍
Or peel and stick tiles! That would have been amazing!
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!
I suggested this too. It would make it match and look cleaner.
There’s Black caulking??? 😮
@@WaterBearer789 Yes!🤩
@@xiaonihao7440 That is EXCITING! Thanks for that!
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)
I love little updates like this, where basicially 200 bucks & a coat of paint make it feel fresh and 3x as clean.
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 definitely needed a video like this. I’m getting so much inspiration to design my space
yay! love to hear this!
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!
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.
Beautiful job, but just wondering why you didn't paint the over-the-toilet cabinet the same color as the cabinet under the sink. Would have tied the two together. All-in-all, it rocks!
I think it was to have some symmetry with the divider but I think the divider stood up well on its own as it’s a statement piece. I initially did think she was going to cut the center of the cabinet doors out and add the same material on the divider once I saw that she was using the same color but it didn’t happen, had she done that I think I wouldn’t have cared that it wasn’t green but since it was meant to be a solid piece green would have elevated interest in it and gave it an up to date modern feel but it’s AWESOME WORK OVERALL SO…I’m just running my mouth LOL
It is what it is
- literally everytime i diy 😂
hahaha it be like that
This just goes to show that any space can be beautiful with the right touch ! Nice work.😊
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. 😘
the 5 tiles is truly the Toronto renter experience lol
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.
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. ❤
The caulking gun tip BLEW MY MIND. You don't even know how long it's taken me to cut silicone open with a knife before
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 😌
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 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👏🏻👏🏻
So so so so soooooo good! That divider is chefs kiss!!!!
"We pivot and we problem solve" Love that, needs to be on a t-shirt! Also, concerning the old handle hole on the doors of your over-the-toilet cabinet, if it bothers you it might be worth adding more, like one at each corner so the hole fillers become a design, not a repair?
omg love that idea
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe evenly spaced …… all along the bottom
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!!
Please do!
Love the divider you installed. Quite 'simple' but gives it some sort of privacy feeling.
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 😊☺
A makeover video, yay!! 👏 I love when you guys do these 🤗
so do we :)
Yes! Would love to see more makeovers. 👏🏻
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!
You should see Caroline Winkler's 2 bathroom makeovers. She didn't like the first, so she made a second one. So good!
That hanging light just got me! Sometimes small spaces are difficult because doing too much can look crowded but your solutions appear to have worked!
Im so indecisive honestly I'd end up with 5 different tiles too in my bathroom
honestly I get it
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.
The plate light fixture and how you hid the wall plate was so clever, but I have to agree that I would have painted both the cabinets in the green.
I had professionals come in to restore the grout in my foyer awhile ago. They used a bucket of very hot water with a combo of ammonia and Tide detergent, along with a stiff bristle brush to scrub the grout. Once clean and completely dry, the grout was stained to match the tile. It turned out perfectly!
Thank you for sharing! Good to know. ❤❤❤
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!
It's fun watching a Canadian diy a PH lamp. Basically every Dane has at least one from heritage . It's so nice.
Wow, not only did it turn out great, but you managed to keep smiling through the chaos! Great job 👍
I love this makeover so much! Who would think so many little changes could make such an impact? Inspired to have a crack at my bathroom now!
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!
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!
My faves are the light fixture and narrow shelf, such little things but so much impact. Fun!
So cute!! And, more importantly for me, I love your youtube persona/presentation style. It is SO refreshing and natural and fun.
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! ❤
Thank you for the caulking instructions. I have to do that this weekend and I'm glad to see how to do it.
Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly. Makes it so much easier for me to try myself! Great makeover!!! Looks amazing!!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
love the the green, it's always good with and if the natural light comes in
BEAUTIFUL! You did an amazing job with the makeover. From design concept to execution... BRAVO!
What a lovely wooden light fitting you made, Rachel. The bathroom looks so much better now than it was.
I really like the changes. The light and the divider are splendid.
I like the divider idea, but I’ve stopped using wood in the bathroom. I found moldings aka trim and boards that are a resin plastic. They’re paintable and won’t rot. Looks like wood without the hassle and worry.
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😅
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!
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!
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 😂
omg i’m so happy i found y’all again. i used to watch u years ago and now i’m moving into my own apartment and i can finally some of the diys 🖤🖤
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!!!! Especially the screen and tiny ledge..
So much better than some of the og gals’ videos! Bcz there is more DIY stuff than decision fatigue
Wish the divider was just a couple inches wider so that the light fixture could be seen in front of the screen more. Right now it kinda disappears into the frame of the divider.
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.
So beautiful
Only thing I would have done extra is Pam t all the tile the same white with tile paint xx
I wasn't very sure at the beginning but I'm very very impressed! 👏👏👏
Awesome!
Had to cringe at the missing, "Did I shut off the breaker?" sorry, but...
that turned out so amazing, I would have never thought that up, very inspiring!
Thanks!
Love the bathroom make over specially the divider , gives the bathroom outdoorsy vibes , cheers!
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.
This one of my all time favourite videos. Great work as always Rachael
Beautiful and creative transformation! Well done, Rachel! 👏👏👏
Absolutely love how this turned out!
If you want to further clean up the shower, you could use a white grout pen! You just draw it on over all the grout lines and it makes it look good as new
Safety bars in every bath and shower! Absolutely make them look cute. I was more concerned about getting a tub that was spacious enough that I overlooked the lack of safety bars. I kind of regret it, and maybe I'll get one of those aftermarket rails from the mobility store where I got my wheelchair from.
I love this makeover…it makes it feel doable to make a renters home feel like home. ❤
This turned out so cute! I love how you were able to figure out solutions to all of the problems!
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.
For the bath - when I attempted mine I was told to fill the bath with water - at least halfway, to add the weight in the tub otherwise the caulk might split after a few baths.
That being said - I think the result of the bathroom makeover is amazing!
Love the lamp makeover!!
Really love this makeover! The space doesn't look sad anymore. LOL. The changes are lovely and make a statement without over over powering the space.
The bathroom came out great. Good job.😂
Loved seeing Rachel tackle a project like this. She has an eye for creativity and getting to see her designing a room is amazing!
Beautiful job Rachel. What a difference!
