Two of our friends over at do-it-yourself home-improvement community Curbly.com — the DIY Maven and Mod Home Ec Teacher (who’s also a columnist for the Indianapolis Star) — shared some great information recently on bathroom remodels.
First, we have a collection of beautiful photos from a series of nice refinished bathrooms, which should serve as some quality inspiration for folks considering bathroom overhauls of their own. You can find more in the original post at interior design blog Cocozy.
Next, let’s take a peek at some before and after photos of a bathroom remodel. This isn’t a big, expensive project. This was done by the two homeowners, who even designed and built the pieces within the bathroom.
Think you’re not skilled or creative enough to design and build your own pieces? Well, you don’t need to be a design guru to try it yourself:
We based our design [for the vanity and mirror] on one we found in a local big box store. Their version was constructed rather poorly and not out of real wood either! We did like the marble vanity top and bowl sink, however, which were paired up with the store-bought version.
As the blogger known as the Remodeling Guy recently wrote, there’s great reward in taking the time to develop even some basic do-it-yourself skills.
