Super excited to be sharing full room renovation episodes on this income property!!! It's been a lot of work to get here, but we've got lot more videos like this planned so stay tuned!!!
Hello Mike, I hope this message finds you well. It has been six months since your last email regarding our processing collaboration for three products: a kitchen sink (installed in your kitchen apparently), a bathroom faucet, and a shower system, all valued at up to $1300 USD. Despite sending several follow-up emails, we have not received a response from you. We recently sent a final reminder email and am eagerly awaiting your reply. Could you please update us on the status of our collaboration and let me know how we can proceed? Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Lefton.
@@noobyxviii I think most codes state you still need to label the outlet as protected if using a breaker, or running another outlet downstream of the GFI one.
I didn't see a floating ground wire. Two wire on a GFCI outlet is useless if it cannot find ground to trip. Same for a surge protector. It depends on that ground wire to function.
For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).
Well actually you don't want to save just a few bucks for the difference and assure the thing with green drywall 👌 You shouldn't have problem if the room is well ventilated
Proper finish over drywall and proper ventilation is way more important than using green board. Most contractors don’t even use it anymore in bathrooms. It’s really not that much more beneficial. It will mold as well without ventilation and being finished properly.
Everything looks good enough to sell, but not for long term 6+ months living. I am landlord and I did the whole tub paint, designer glass thing bc I cheaper out. It does not last. Particle board furniture in a restroom will not last. After doing one restroom reno for 1000 grand and less, I end up spending 10k getting the titles for the floor, real tub replacement, and metal+wood furniture. This restroom is for staging and not for living. Storage is everything and in a restroom? More drawers and larger medicine cabinet is better.
Definitely a budget flip and good enough to move in and change stuff later (shower surround (80s), orange peel (cheap motels), MDF (not water friendly), grey toned flooring (great option 5 years ago but on the way out),... but it looks a hell of a lot better! I am happy you didn't jump on the every-fixture-black wagon. Great instruction as usual.
Bro how much do you think the house is worth? This isn’t a 500,000 house lmao. Also what texture would you suggest? Orange Peel is the most popular texture probably in the country and it’s used in almost every new build today. I agree with the grey flooring being out
Great job! Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Double vanity was the way to go. Really love the mirror. That’s a perfect high end piece. Happy you didn’t go all out on the bath tub fixtures. Those are nice, but people need to be reminded to match the price point of the home they’re selling.
Depending where the house is, you may have gotten more than 10K in equity. Bathroom remodels are one of the highest ROIs when selling a house. You did a fantastic job, and who ever buys this will be stoked about it. Other thoughts regarding the build: - Thanks for showing the texture sprayer! I didn't know about those, and am excited about their potential. - Matte black fixtures would have been a more modern look with the white paint and the natural wood tone of the vanity. Nickel finishes are an early 2000s style. - Why did you use a roller for the bathtub refinish kit instead of the airless sprayer we saw in earlier shots? Would have reduced the risk of seeing roller lines. - Gray vinyl planking is not modern, and is already on its way out. Why not use choose a brighter natural wood tone like the vanity?
Using tub and tile refinish is a great way to be disappointed in several months after using the shower. If anyone ever wants to do this, I recommend getting porcelain/tile sander and getting the finish off the tub before adding this new finish. Otherwise the paint won't have anything to really stick to and will eventually peal off and you'll need a new tub.
For sure gonna regret using that kit on a fiberglass tub and surround. Once it peels(and it will!) there’s no getting it off. Can’t use any chemical stripper and can’t sand it off without digging into the tub🤦🏽 save yourself the time and money the first time and get it professionally refinished. Or you’re looking at getting a new tub and surround!
It's looking so good. LOVE the tip about how to smooth out caulk without having a mess all over you fingers. I love the finished edge caulk can give, but never love having to stop over and over to wipe off my fingers.
I used the plastic resin type moulding in my bathroom. Unless you’re up close nosey you can’t tell and it will never soak up water if there is a leak. I think this is my favorite part of the reno so far.
I saw that too. If he's selling, the home inspector will call that out--but that's an easy 20-40 bucks fix. If he's renting, that's a potential lawsuit.
I like the attention to detail especially in the USBA/USBC port on the wall, but the faucets that you got for the sink have a major design flaw most faucets do, it crowds your hands at the top of the sink and doesn't let you use the full bowl of the sink, it's a pet peeve of mine but I hate having a gigantic sink and a little 3x3 square where my water will hit my hands
For real, this is such a big pet peeve for me as well. Often, I put my hand under the tap and the water actually ends up behind the sink because the faucet is so small
I prefer showers to have a hose attachment instead of one shower head. The hose attachment is great when cleaning the walls / tub as well as rinsing the soap out of our naughty bits.
You smoothed all the walls then added texture….no! It’s so much more high end to just smooth out the skim coat….people pay big money to skim coat over orange peel texture……
Very fresh!! Such a good idea to pull out that "privacy" wall. My only constructive criticisms are the tension shower rod and the vanity. There's no reason not to use screw-in shower rod, so it's not constantly creeping down to the top of the surround or getting pulled down by accident. It's a small point of quality that makes a big difference. And the horizontal vanity slats are cool looking but will be an utter nightmare to keep clean. As a buyer or renter, I would replace it immediately, which would be a sad waste of resources.
Pit some silicone on the bottom of the toilet, or go to Temu and buy the special 3m seal that wraps around. It looks beautiful and keeps out the water.
Loving the aesthetics of this bathroom and your kitchen island; they look cohesive together! Also, I enjoy watching how you install even the littlest things- like the towel holder as I’ve always been intrigued how some things were screwed or glued on, etc., so as a sometime-DIYer-fixer myself- it’s great to learn! I love the white and wood tones all around! 👏🏼
Rocker switch for the light switch with the same faceplate as the outlet. As far as door handles, levers are more useful if you have your hands full. No single to double sink install clips?
Hi Mike, I might have mentioned this before but gray is out. Like REALLY out. For some reason, guys default to this. The research is still out as to why. My aunt just moved into a new apartment. It’s got a beautiful layout but it’s got gray walls, gray vinyl floors, lots of gray in the kitchen laminate. Now she says it feels cold. Yup. Gray had its moment. It is now over. For your next flip, consider a light medium brown vinyl flooring. It gives the new owner or tenant more options. The bathroom came out nice and bright otherwise but you might also want to scale back the modern aesthetic too. Unless it’s YOUR home, simple, transitional, shaker cabinetry would work with a lot of other styles. The oak had to go but you might have only had to paint the vanity or change the door style. (I’ve done that. Looked great) it could have saved you a lot of money.
Congrats on your project, that's looking amazing! For everyone who's trying to find ideas and references for your bathrooms, I need to say: THESE PRICES ARE NOT TRUE! If you DO NOT know how to do it (if you are not a SUPER PRO like him), if you DO NOT have all those tools he used and have NO knowledge about materials and stuff, you will spend a minimum of 5-8k to re-do everything. What includes: Plumbing, drywall/paint, flooring, carpentry/trim work, and electrical (NOT INCLUDING SHOWER or TUB re-install).
I have also learned the lesson that repairing drywall is often much harder and takes more time than just gutting and replacing all of it. Although, the disposal costs, cost of new drywall and fasteners, etc. does add up.
You are truly creative.. I loved how the walls were sanded and painted in an excellent manner, more than the companies we ask for to paint the house... and the white color has a more beautiful appearance and gives more space. Keep going 👍👍✅️
Wow! Went to a tile store today and I'm still getting over the sticker shock! We have a 60's era condo to flip and the bathroom is a crime scene.😆Your suggestions and demos could not be more timely. Would never have considered painting the sheet tile in our tub surround, but the results you achieved here (and the savings!) have made me a believer. Learned so much. I'm you new sub!
Brother, word of advice with the caulk, thats painters caulk meant for tape and paint, I would strongly urge to pay a bit more for dynaflex 230 and you wont regret it, wont shrink as much and will last much much longer.
Mad skills! Love the vanity and I learned something new watching this video. Who knew that you could spray soapy water on caulk to spread it evenly without a mess?
Thank you for always educating us. When we bought our house i updated the receptacles as well as the lights switches. You might consider changing out the light switches as well.
Thats a great tip with silicon! Will keep in mind since im undergoing bathroom remodelling too!!! I love the wooden tones along with all the whites and grays!!!!!!

you should have used water resistant drywall in the bathroom no? it's not that much more expensive and helps a lot with future proofing also, in the doors, maybe there it's not a real issue with climate, but for sure use foam before trim if you live in a cold spot for insulation :DDD
Honestly, i assumed this was a basic DIY'er doing a bathroom renovation. The walls in orange peel effect are awful. The whole bathroom down to the flooring, was cheap looking. The only thing that was nice, was the vanity unit.
8 місяців тому+2
@@MadDog_Rules the vanity was too nice to rent. spending 700 bucks on something you can get for 100 is def not worth the investment on a rental i think the issue is that mike is not sure if he's going to rent or flip. so he'll over do some stuff and cheap out on others. which might cost him in the end (but i'm sure he makes enough from youtube to afford to lose a bit on the house)
No sense in using low expansion 1 part foam in the door frame for an interior door. Maybe a tiny tiny change in noise but meaningless considering nothing else on those interior walls is air sealed and no cavity insulation to reduce noise.
8 місяців тому
@@baxt1412 not noise but heat. rly depends on where you live. my city ranges from -5C to 40C. we'd never leave that open in the bathroom and lose heat to the hallway
@ minimal change. Use an energy modeling software and you’ll see. The total surface area that takes up in relation to the total surface area of the bathroom is negligible. You’re talking maybe a 1/2” width, 17 feet in length for the doorway, and 4 inches in depth. Meaningless compared to the total surface area of the walls, ceiling, and floor
Great explanations. I love the detail in why and how you do things. I'm a new viewer and will be referencing your work for my own projects, huge thanks.
It looks great. That mirror wow. You seem like a great guy. A lot of moisture as a washroom. You could have saved yourself so much time & money after all your hard work leaving it smooth. End: it does look fabulous.
I really love it! I love the vanity. I don't mind the white because you brought in textures and wood accents. Wish I was younger and could do projects like that.
Looks great. I would prefer more counter space than double sinks. I have exactly the same size bathroom, I think 2 sinks in such a small space isn't warranted. My bath was refinished by the previous owner, after approximately 2 years the paint is peeling and looks terrible. I will be updating my bathroom soon with a walk in shower. Don't forget to clean off the pencil marks around your mirror lol. You did a great job
So you are going to work more on that same house where you upgraded the front porch. Glad to see more about it. Very modern and clean lined bathroom. Blessings from central Georgia.
As usual another awesome video! The house is really coming along beautifully. At first I was like No don’t take out the vanity but then I saw the new one and YES the new one is way better. It really give the bathroom a modern feel. Keep up the great work ❤
❤-remove the weird wall 📉-texture walls 🏆-new vanity 😔-floor prep & lvp choice 😢-door so narrow no wheelchair nor walker can fit 😮-investment house mirror not secondarily attached with anything--someone will pull that off thinking it has a medicine cabinet and the wires will pull apart 🤨-non-code distance between toilet and tub
...interesting. Why is the door so small? Should have seen if you could have made it wider. Why didn't you paint the contractor door? Where's the GFCI outlet?
Time consuming, but excellent upgrades and result. My only concern is “painting” a tub surround. Seen some massive fails with those products- extensive delaminating/peeling issues after application causing much more work later. I would have just cleaned and caulked it since it was in good shape, or removed it entirely and make it a walk in shower, maybe add a drop teak slatted seat attached to the wall. Just an idea.
The white is amazing! I love it! But that big ass window is a no! I can't wait to get rid of mine. If you would've changed it to a higher one it would've been the max!!
A window in the shower area is never a good idea. Have seen to much water damage to windows.Maybe a narrow window at the top is better? Just a suggestion. Also double sink is nice but no counter space for enevitable stuff.
A really nice bathroom remodel, above and beyond your average flip. Those bathmats though. They won't absorb any water and it'll just go on the floor. Do a search for "diatom bathmat." Made from diatomaceous earth. Super absorbant, it's like magic. Once you use them, you'll never go back. And maybe consider a "bum gun" or bidet attachment to that modern toilet. Welcome to the 21st century!
This video showed me how a modest investment can yield significant returns in home equity. The step-by-step instructions were easy to follow, and the final result looked like something out of a design magazine.
You did a nice job although I would’ve loved to see you build the vanity using the one you bought as inspiration. But I get it, there’s a lot of work to be done. You did a wonderful job cleaning up that bathroom and making it tasteful and ready to use! One thing to heed, I live in my 1970’s house. I’ve had a lot of renovations done to it which I prefer rather than buy new anyways and I love mid century homes although mine didn’t have the character one would hope for. Anyways I finally had my upstairs bathroom renovated and I’m grateful I did. I had the original heavy tub and fortunately I chose to remove mine because when the guys pulled it out and then inspected the flooring beneath they realized the floor had bowed but not due to water damage. It was due to the original contractor installing 1/4” plywood as the base. I don’t know how all these decades and years it didn’t crash through the floor and into the basement. All the times I had bathed my dogs and when my family would stay over and use the shower… anyways that was frightening and for damn good reason so just some food for thought about keeping the original tub without inspecting first.
No exhaust fan. #1 killer of bathrooms. Also not as much on you but I hate the idea of a window like that directly in the path of the shower head. It’s not a matter of if, but rather, when water gets in and begins growing mold all in the wall cavity.
I've been enjoying this series! A couple of items, as others, GFI outlet; it won't pass a home inspection. If you are planning to flip, do not paint the doors grey. You're trying to flip the house, not get in Architectural Digest.
I love the upgrades, and the selection of the vanity, mirror and toilet. Very nice run-through on the processes, and also took notes from the comments section about possibly using moisture-resistance (green board) drywall and include the GFCI outlet near water sources. But still overall a fantastic job!!
Very cool! You put a lot of effort in to these and we can tell but just curious where's the exhaust for the shower? and I was looking forward to the plumbing for the vanity. Those faucets are pretty slick.
Amazing work! 😯 Bathroom makeover is not easy and of course I love the toilet's slow-close feature the best! If you ever want to upgrade the toilet with a LUXE Bidet, let us know 😉
Ha, it's funny, the diy mirror was actually the first video I watched from you and the one that made me subscribe! 😊 I wasn't a fan - at all - of what you did to that house in the last video, and I'm not a fan of the vanity, flat faucets and mats in this one but otherwise... damn, you did an awesome job with this bathroom! And I agree, that half wall made absolutely no sense 🤦🏻♀️ The thing with mainly monochrome rooms - especially with basics like white, greys and black - is that you can actually make it pop super easily with touches of colors and materials in other ways, all without having to try and force your style and color schemes on something that's already in another style and often jarring. You have full freedom: personal objects, accessories, faucets, outlets, shelves, plants, curtains, mats, knobs, lights, you name it. The possibilities are endless and the plus side is that whenever you're tired of the current style, you can just switch it without having to remodel anything or even paint. This is the type of video that reminds me why I followed you in the first place. Keep it up! 👍🏻🍻
I didn't see the cost of the toilet in your breakdown. That is a pretty slick looking throne and would like to know how much it costs. Also, I really like how the vanity ties in with the kitchen where you added the vertical panels.
great work. I'm noticing a pattern that you really like wall texture; it makes sense in a lot of older homes, as it gives them a classic and historic feel. How did you deal with sealing the window against rot and water intrusion? Both our bathrooms have them and they need extensive work, but I'm scratching my head on how to deal with them.
Self-leveler might be easier and more accurate than trying to level by filling in grout gaps. That’s what would have done, anyway. Still worked and looks great though! 😊
Love the work done here. My only critique is that a double sink doesn’t make sense for this space. Trading that for more counter space would have been preferable
Not judging, just curious. Why texture ceiling/walls? Live in New York and that is considered low class, something you find in old building and public housing. Is there a reason why it is used so much out of New York?
Super excited to be sharing full room renovation episodes on this income property!!! It's been a lot of work to get here, but we've got lot more videos like this planned so stay tuned!!!

15:19 i think more important than a USB port in an outlet in the bathroom is a GFCI outlet for safety around water.
Yep!! It’s in the mail, god tip!
@@ModernBuilds a gfci breaker also works depending on code
@@noobyxviii I think most codes state you still need to label the outlet as protected if using a breaker, or running another outlet downstream of the GFI one.
I didn't see a floating ground wire. Two wire on a GFCI outlet is useless if it cannot find ground to trip. Same for a surge protector. It depends on that ground wire to function.
Yeah what's the need of a USB charger in the bathroom anyway? I put GFCI outlets with built-in nite lite into my bathrooms
For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).
I thought that was just for showers and stiff
Well actually you don't want to save just a few bucks for the difference and assure the thing with green drywall 👌
You shouldn't have problem if the room is well ventilated
Not using moisture and mold resistant drywall in a bathroom is decidedly NOT superpro.
I believe it is purple or dark blue on the back......my thoughts exactly. I want that shower curtain.
Proper finish over drywall and proper ventilation is way more important than using green board. Most contractors don’t even use it anymore in bathrooms. It’s really not that much more beneficial. It will mold as well without ventilation and being finished properly.
Everything looks good enough to sell, but not for long term 6+ months living. I am landlord and I did the whole tub paint, designer glass thing bc I cheaper out. It does not last.

We have tub paint in our kids bathroom and 7 years later it's held up well.
Definitely a budget flip and good enough to move in and change stuff later (shower surround (80s), orange peel (cheap motels), MDF (not water friendly), grey toned flooring (great option 5 years ago but on the way out),... but it looks a hell of a lot better! I am happy you didn't jump on the every-fixture-black wagon. Great instruction as usual.
This clown 😂
Bro how much do you think the house is worth? This isn’t a 500,000 house lmao. Also what texture would you suggest? Orange Peel is the most popular texture probably in the country and it’s used in almost every new build today. I agree with the grey flooring being out
Great job! Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Double vanity was the way to go. Really love the mirror. That’s a perfect high end piece. Happy you didn’t go all out on the bath tub fixtures. Those are nice, but people need to be reminded to match the price point of the home they’re selling.
I appreciate it a ton! Yeah, I didn’t think it’d be a justified expense to complete gut the shower setup! Thanks for watching 😁
It looks nice, but I think it's too small of a bathroom to have a 2-sink vanity. I would have opted for more counter space and one sink.
If it's an old house and have only one or two washroom, that would be a better option.
Depending where the house is, you may have gotten more than 10K in equity. Bathroom remodels are one of the highest ROIs when selling a house. You did a fantastic job, and who ever buys this will be stoked about it.
Other thoughts regarding the build:
- Thanks for showing the texture sprayer! I didn't know about those, and am excited about their potential.
- Matte black fixtures would have been a more modern look with the white paint and the natural wood tone of the vanity. Nickel finishes are an early 2000s style.
- Why did you use a roller for the bathtub refinish kit instead of the airless sprayer we saw in earlier shots? Would have reduced the risk of seeing roller lines.
- Gray vinyl planking is not modern, and is already on its way out. Why not use choose a brighter natural wood tone like the vanity?
Using tub and tile refinish is a great way to be disappointed in several months after using the shower. If anyone ever wants to do this, I recommend getting porcelain/tile sander and getting the finish off the tub before adding this new finish. Otherwise the paint won't have anything to really stick to and will eventually peal off and you'll need a new tub.
The instructions even mentiom a good cleaning and sanding before painting tub and surround, as well as sanding between coats.
For sure gonna regret using that kit on a fiberglass tub and surround. Once it peels(and it will!) there’s no getting it off. Can’t use any chemical stripper and can’t sand it off without digging into the tub🤦🏽 save yourself the time and money the first time and get it professionally refinished. Or you’re looking at getting a new tub and surround!
I suggest synthetic baseboard trim. Water on the floor is inevitable.
It's looking so good. LOVE the tip about how to smooth out caulk without having a mess all over you fingers. I love the finished edge caulk can give, but never love having to stop over and over to wipe off my fingers.
I used the plastic resin type moulding in my bathroom. Unless you’re up close nosey you can’t tell and it will never soak up water if there is a leak. I think this is my favorite part of the reno so far.
Harney is the go to for door knobs and accessories. High quality and best price. I did two houses with everything Harney.
I’ll check them out!! 🔥🔥
GFCI!!!!!! That outlet you installed is less than 3 feet from the faucet. Therefore, it MUST be GFCI protected!!
On the to- do list 👍🏼👍🏼
I saw that too. If he's selling, the home inspector will call that out--but that's an easy 20-40 bucks fix. If he's renting, that's a potential lawsuit.
@@ModernBuilds Awesome! I just see inspectors fail those every time.
That cabinet will be a pain to dust and keep clean and the space is way too small for two sinks.
I would add cabinet inserts - high and low that pull out. I think the container store has them. Beautiful bathroom.
I like the attention to detail especially in the USBA/USBC port on the wall, but the faucets that you got for the sink have a major design flaw most faucets do, it crowds your hands at the top of the sink and doesn't let you use the full bowl of the sink, it's a pet peeve of mine but I hate having a gigantic sink and a little 3x3 square where my water will hit my hands

I agree, however you can get them with both shower head and hose.
Also having been well traveled in Asia, I like toilets with a bidet. So much more sanitary than what you see in the west!
You smoothed all the walls then added texture….no! It’s so much more high end to just smooth out the skim coat….people pay big money to skim coat over orange peel texture……
This.
💯 #TeamSmooth
Thought I was the only one with these thoughts.
Depends where you live.
I like the bathroom a lot
Way better then a lot of rental remodels I’ve seen.
Thanks Andrew!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
No exhaust fan in that bathroom? We need an exhaust fan install video.
Plus textured walls. That sounds like mildew or mold to me.
An exhaust fan isn’t required if there is a window (that opens) in the bathroom.
@@katecart8790 yes, but most ppl dont open the window while taking a shower. Especially in the winter.
Lololol...
Looks great! Personally, I would’ve done only one sink so there’s more counter space!
Why not insulate for sound-proofing while the walls are open?
Very fresh!! Such a good idea to pull out that "privacy" wall.

Great job, Mike! What an improvement!
perhaps depends on local code but really should be absolutely required
People here in Miami paying me to cover the textures nobody like textures 😅
EXACTLY...so dated
Your buddy Andy should’ve told you that you have to use GFCI electric outlets near kitchen and bath sinks and tubs.
You did an amazing job on this. Night and day difference. Not just looks great, but is more functional and feels larger with all extra light.

a nice modern door handle is called "pismo". they're knobs, not levers, but they look really nice.
The trick with the spray can of texture is to warm it up using a bucket of hot water, then shake REALLY well.
Quick tip when you remove and reinstall a door, it's better to tap out the hinge pins it's much easier
Thats a great tip with silicon! Will keep in mind since im undergoing bathroom remodelling too!!! I love the wooden tones along with all the whites and grays!!!!!!
you should have used water resistant drywall in the bathroom no?
it's not that much more expensive and helps a lot with future proofing
also, in the doors, maybe there it's not a real issue with climate, but for sure use foam before trim if you live in a cold spot for insulation :DDD
Honestly, i assumed this was a basic DIY'er doing a bathroom renovation. The walls in orange peel effect are awful. The whole bathroom down to the flooring, was cheap looking. The only thing that was nice, was the vanity unit.
@@MadDog_Rules the vanity was too nice to rent. spending 700 bucks on something you can get for 100 is def not worth the investment on a rental
i think the issue is that mike is not sure if he's going to rent or flip. so he'll over do some stuff and cheap out on others. which might cost him in the end (but i'm sure he makes enough from youtube to afford to lose a bit on the house)
No sense in using low expansion 1 part foam in the door frame for an interior door. Maybe a tiny tiny change in noise but meaningless considering nothing else on those interior walls is air sealed and no cavity insulation to reduce noise.
@@baxt1412 not noise but heat.
rly depends on where you live.
my city ranges from -5C to 40C. we'd never leave that open in the bathroom and lose heat to the hallway
@ minimal change. Use an energy modeling software and you’ll see. The total surface area that takes up in relation to the total surface area of the bathroom is negligible. You’re talking maybe a 1/2” width, 17 feet in length for the doorway, and 4 inches in depth. Meaningless compared to the total surface area of the walls, ceiling, and floor
Great explanations. I love the detail in why and how you do things. I'm a new viewer and will be referencing your work for my own projects, huge thanks.
It looks great. That mirror wow. You seem like a great guy. A lot of moisture as a washroom. You could have saved yourself so much time & money after all your hard work leaving it smooth. End: it does look fabulous.
I really love it! I love the vanity. I don't mind the white because you brought in textures and wood accents. Wish I was younger and could do projects like that.
Looks great. I would prefer more counter space than double sinks. I have exactly the same size bathroom, I think 2 sinks in such a small space isn't warranted. My bath was refinished by the previous owner, after approximately 2 years the paint is peeling and looks terrible. I will be updating my bathroom soon with a walk in shower. Don't forget to clean off the pencil marks around your mirror lol. You did a great job
The vanity is cute, but cleaning will be a nightmare. Everything from hair products, dust, etc will get in those grooves.
So you are going to work more on that same house where you upgraded the front porch. Glad to see more about it. Very modern and clean lined bathroom. Blessings from central Georgia.
I agree with what you said during are saying previous bathroom remodel, white feels sterile but in a bathroom it should feel clean
The bathroom redo is stunning
As usual another awesome video! The house is really coming along beautifully. At first I was like No don’t take out the vanity but then I saw the new one and YES the new one is way better. It really give the bathroom a modern feel. Keep up the great work ❤
Let’s goo!! That’s awesome, glad you dig it!
Think the remodeled bathroom is great. You are doing a Super Pro Job.
Love the clean, modern vibe of it.
The detailed explanations and budget-friendly approach made the whole renovation process seem less daunting.
❤-remove the weird wall
📉-texture walls
🏆-new vanity
😔-floor prep & lvp choice

😮-investment house mirror not secondarily attached with anything--someone will pull that off thinking it has a medicine cabinet and the wires will pull apart
🤨-non-code distance between toilet and tub
Hey Mike, I stopped the video to say I'm no contractor, but shouldn't you be using the green or blue sheetrock in the bathroom? Just asking?
Just in shower area
The mirror is really great. I don't understand the double sinks in such a small space. I think having more counter space would be more beneficial.
Run the texture spray cans under hot water in the sink while shaking up a few times and it sprays out more even
neato, nighttime content before bed!
Amazing job. It's making to get up and continue converting my bathroom from bathtub to walk in shower. Thanks again.
Great job Mike! It’s so clean and bright! ❤
...interesting. Why is the door so small? Should have seen if you could have made it wider. Why didn't you paint the contractor door? Where's the GFCI outlet?
I came here to ask the same thing! It looks a third of the size of the doors in my house!
Omg this is that landlord special.
I love the time lapts...& voice over...your blogs r FAB..Quick & on point!!!! you give me confidence much thx Australia
Time consuming, but excellent upgrades and result. My only concern is “painting” a tub surround. Seen some massive fails with those products- extensive delaminating/peeling issues after application causing much more work later. I would have just cleaned and caulked it since it was in good shape, or removed it entirely and make it a walk in shower, maybe add a drop teak slatted seat attached to the wall. Just an idea.
The white is amazing! I love it! But that big ass window is a no! I can't wait to get rid of mine. If you would've changed it to a higher one it would've been the max!!
Very cool! I like the vanity! For the doors, please make them door handles and not door nobs to make it easier to open the doors! (ADA compliant?)
I’d be happy to add them if a buyer or renter requested but I’ll keep them no knob for know just cause I like the look 👍🏼👍🏼
I like it a lot. The only thing that isn't for me is the shower curtain. I would have put in just a shower with a glass wall and a glass door.
15:16 "Ah, yes, let me feel if the electricity is really turned off" lol
Nice job and such a positive attitude!!!! Sending all good vibes from Ohio!!!🎉😊
Previous home owner spent a fortune texturing the ceilings. I’m spending a fortune smoothing them out
A window in the shower area is never a good idea. Have seen to much water damage to windows.Maybe a narrow window at the top is better? Just a suggestion. Also double sink is nice but no counter space for enevitable stuff.
A really nice bathroom remodel, above and beyond your average flip. Those bathmats though. They won't absorb any water and it'll just go on the floor. Do a search for "diatom bathmat." Made from diatomaceous earth. Super absorbant, it's like magic. Once you use them, you'll never go back. And maybe consider a "bum gun" or bidet attachment to that modern toilet. Welcome to the 21st century!
This video showed me how a modest investment can yield significant returns in home equity. The step-by-step instructions were easy to follow, and the final result looked like something out of a design magazine.
This looks like a guest bath to me, a double sink is over kill… also I am skeptical about the bathtub paint. All in all great job and great video.
Double sink in “guest” bath is better for families with more than 1 kid.
You did a nice job although I would’ve loved to see you build the vanity using the one you bought as inspiration. But I get it, there’s a lot of work to be done. You did a wonderful job cleaning up that bathroom and making it tasteful and ready to use! One thing to heed, I live in my 1970’s house. I’ve had a lot of renovations done to it which I prefer rather than buy new anyways and I love mid century homes although mine didn’t have the character one would hope for. Anyways I finally had my upstairs bathroom renovated and I’m grateful I did. I had the original heavy tub and fortunately I chose to remove mine because when the guys pulled it out and then inspected the flooring beneath they realized the floor had bowed but not due to water damage. It was due to the original contractor installing 1/4” plywood as the base. I don’t know how all these decades and years it didn’t crash through the floor and into the basement. All the times I had bathed my dogs and when my family would stay over and use the shower… anyways that was frightening and for damn good reason so just some food for thought about keeping the original tub without inspecting first.
No exhaust fan. #1 killer of bathrooms.
Also not as much on you but I hate the idea of a window like that directly in the path of the shower head. It’s not a matter of if, but rather, when water gets in and begins growing mold all in the wall cavity.
I've been enjoying this series! A couple of items, as others, GFI outlet; it won't pass a home inspection. If you are planning to flip, do not paint the doors grey. You're trying to flip the house, not get in Architectural Digest.
Don't worry, he's not getting in AD with those gray floors
I love it! You certainly have a gift! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love the upgrades, and the selection of the vanity, mirror and toilet. Very nice run-through on the processes, and also took notes from the comments section about possibly using moisture-resistance (green board) drywall and include the GFCI outlet near water sources. But still overall a fantastic job!!
Very cool! You put a lot of effort in to these and we can tell but just curious where's the exhaust for the shower? and I was looking forward to the plumbing for the vanity. Those faucets are pretty slick.
Now, I added you to the list of people I hate from envy for their craftsmanship 😂😊🥰.
Please delete this comment, it's not funny at all and makes you look just like a bad person.
Amazing work! 😯 Bathroom makeover is not easy and of course I love the toilet's slow-close feature the best! If you ever want to upgrade the toilet with a LUXE Bidet, let us know 😉
THIS CAME OUT INSANE!
🔥🔥🔥
Ha, it's funny, the diy mirror was actually the first video I watched from you and the one that made me subscribe! 😊
I wasn't a fan - at all - of what you did to that house in the last video, and I'm not a fan of the vanity, flat faucets and mats in this one but otherwise... damn, you did an awesome job with this bathroom! And I agree, that half wall made absolutely no sense 🤦🏻♀️
The thing with mainly monochrome rooms - especially with basics like white, greys and black - is that you can actually make it pop super easily with touches of colors and materials in other ways, all without having to try and force your style and color schemes on something that's already in another style and often jarring. You have full freedom: personal objects, accessories, faucets, outlets, shelves, plants, curtains, mats, knobs, lights, you name it. The possibilities are endless and the plus side is that whenever you're tired of the current style, you can just switch it without having to remodel anything or even paint.
This is the type of video that reminds me why I followed you in the first place. Keep it up! 👍🏻🍻
I didn't see the cost of the toilet in your breakdown. That is a pretty slick looking throne and would like to know how much it costs. Also, I really like how the vanity ties in with the kitchen where you added the vertical panels.
Nice work, but you most likely want a GFCI plug anywhere near water. Unless your local regs are different?
That bathroom turned out gorgeous love the vanity 🎉🎉🎉
great work. I'm noticing a pattern that you really like wall texture; it makes sense in a lot of older homes, as it gives them a classic and historic feel.
How did you deal with sealing the window against rot and water intrusion? Both our bathrooms have them and they need extensive work, but I'm scratching my head on how to deal with them.
Looks awesome! I’d buy the house just from the bathroom look!
Self-leveler might be easier and more accurate than trying to level by filling in grout gaps. That’s what would have done, anyway.
Still worked and looks great though! 😊
Great job! Loved your changes, u added real value to the home! 👍🏻👏🏻😃
Love the work done here. My only critique is that a double sink doesn’t make sense for this space. Trading that for more counter space would have been preferable
Not judging, just curious. Why texture ceiling/walls? Live in New York and that is considered low class, something you find in old building and public housing. Is there a reason why it is used so much out of New York?
I love your design. It looks great. Don't worry about the speed of getting it done. You're doing amazing.
Looks great!I love love the vanity!
