Budget Bathroom Makeover | DIY Bath Remodel 

The ceiling tiles with matching black fixtures totally elevate the whole thing.

Your drain removal hack was genius even though it didn't work. She should definitely get her money back. It was good to see your sense of humor come out

WOW just $1000, and you made it look like a Million dollar room. And don't forget about the labor of Love and creative repurpose of materials. Topped off by that magnificent painting. Very creative project. DIY Princess

Aww. I teared up when she cried. The feeling of something made by someone by hand,mind,heart,thought,and love is beyond measurable. I wish her all the best on her sell and new journey.❤

I felt empowered to tackle my own bathroom renovation project. The before-and-after shots were impressive, showing what a big difference a little DIY effort can make.

It's beautiful! We bought a house with a scrummy shower that looked so gross. After cleaning and sanding down really, really well, we used Rust-Oleum Topside paint for fiberglass boats. The shower looks brand new, and has held up with regular use for 2 years now with no chips, flaking etc. You have to do the prep so the paint goes on and stays on, but it's so worth it.

Your so big hearted ❤, and the cost was so worth it! the skills she learned are so invaluable. The money that will be made selling the house will increase and and help it sell faster. And I want to disregard all that I’ve said so far a bit and point out what I see that the is most valuable; The memories you and her made together in her time of need 💕, those will be more valuable than the knowledge, the money or anything else 💓🩷💖 good job helping a fellow human being.

You are such a great friend to have !!! Great job done ❤

That ceiling and floor really put it over the top! Youre an incredible friend and I’m sure she is too!!!!

It looks so good, what a difference. I really like the ceiling tiles, great choice. Yes - she will get her money back, good investment. Nicely done!

Amazing! What a gorgeous transformation. Good luck Savannah!

I love the bathroom makeover. It looks amazing. What a great thing you did for your friend

After watching this video, I felt inspired to revamp my bathroom! The ideas on retiling the shower and installing a new vanity were genius, and I appreciated the budget-friendly approach. I'm excited to get started on my own DIY project and transform my bathroom like they did in the video!

Gorgeous! You're a real inspiration. So nice of you to help a friend. A lucky girl.

Home run. Definitely worth the investment. Great job

She'll definitely make her money back, and then some. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous!!! Love the drop ceiling!xoxo

You are such a good friend, she is lucky to have you....I could use one right now 😏, really beautiful :)

Totally worth it😊and how blessed she is to have you! I love the black ceiling & accents, she will definitely get every penny back at sale time! Nice work!

The tips on repurposing existing fixtures and accessories were incredibly helpful, saving a ton of money.

The transformation of the bathroom was impressive and I appreciated how you showed practical tips and tricks for saving money while still achieving a stylish look.

Great budget remodel! Looks great and well worth it IMO. She'll get that back when it sells. Great job, ladies.

That's a beautiful basement bathroom! Well done! ❤

Such a wonderful update, love it.

Looks great!!! Love the ceiling tiles

Wow what a stylish bathroom! The tips and tricks shared made the entire process manageable.

Definitely worth it! Beautiful transformation.

Such a great video. Love the transformation, but I loved the exchange between you and your friend even more. ❤

Very nice! Such a good friend.

It was so worth it and you are such a good friend!!

Wow! Really blown away by the transformation! It definitely inspired me to tackle my own bathroom renovation project!

Great transition ladies. It was obvious that the bathroom had to be painted a much lighter colour. The changing of the faucets and hardware and toilet and floor and mirror and ceiling really transformed this bathroom into a show piece. I am sure the new owners will appreciate your efforts. I hope you get what you want and more for the sale of your house.

Wow that’s a great transformation. Great job

Looks awesome!

Love the black fixtures!

Wow💕 This is really amazing! !You made the bathroom so bright!! Love it!!🤩🤩

Very nice looks awesome great job

Great job, Melissa.

Love the ceiling tiles. The makeover is awesome.

Amazing job!

It looks great

Not just a DIY but a feel good too!

I have been struggling to clean the tub and surround in my master bath and had the same issues with nothing working. I had resigned myself to saving so I could replace it but I never thought of sanding and resealing. I'm going to give that a try. Thank you for the inspiration!

Great job!

Its beautiful. Thanks for sharing

Okay this was amazing and definitely gives me hope that I will be able to do something similar in my space on a budget. LOVE those drop ceiling tiles 😍😍😍

People are so talented.

Beautiful!!😍

The mirror is giving a diff kind of warmth and light to the room will defo buy it for my own bathroom😍

Oh hell yes it was worth it. Looks great. Thanks.

Looks really great. Your talent seems endless

Your hubby is so GD lucky... I can't get over it. Jeff!

Amazing i love it

Very nice!!

Beautiful

Coolest DIYer ever 🎉❤

Omg I love it! You did amazing! Indeed modern. Do you want to do my basement bathroom? Kidding. Honestly, I reno my house, and what you did was incredibly cheap and innovative. Kudos 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Nice!. good job.

I have that same kind of tub. I can sand and polish it! Yeeeeessssss!!!!

You are a good friend.

Hey Melissa, so great to meet you at Phily’s race! You’re a gem ❤❤Love this makeover. Those ceiling tiles are SO good

When trying to cover dark paint here's a pro tip --- get some primer toned to a medium grey (think maybe 30% black in white).

You made that $1000 go a long way! Nicely done!!!

New subscriber here. You are inspiring. And I love your personality.

Depending on how the rest of the home looks She will definitely make her money back I think. The housing market is still insane which is a benefit to the sellers. We just sold our first home to buy our dream home & we made almost 100K on our “first home”. Such a huge difference in this bathroom it looks amazing!!! Also I noticed you put a new faucet in that is the “Wide spread” style into the 3 holes that are close together. Does that mean those 3 holes do not have to be used just with “Centerset faucets” I’m asking bet currently doing my toddlers bathroom & thought I could only use the Centerset faucets. Thank youuu!

You remind me of that actress from house of cards. She is so beautiful. I’m in love.

The drop ceiling are elegant. Where did you purchase them 😍

SOS pads are great for old built up crud.

Awesome job and the bathroom looks great! Too bad about the bathtub drain blowing the budget, but that's life (and house renovations) for ya. The struggle to remove that old drain reminds me removing a stuck seatpost or stem from a bike. If there's corrosion involved, then it can be an impossible task with taking drastic measures.

Wonderful job! Everything you chose ties in with the existing wood really well. I love the painting you did too. I’m certain she’ll recoup the investment!😊 Edit: I took a screenshot of the bottle of Gel Gloss she used on the shower. I remodeled my bathroom last year and absolutely love it, but I chose to keep my jacuzzi tub, build a third wall/shelf unit, then tile the surround. It looks awesome and we enjoy it so much, but the tub suffered from my intense scrub down and gets dirty looking quicker now since I apparently scrubbed off the glossy finish. I never even considered looking for a product to recoat it.

What a wonderful project to tackle with your friend! Warms my heart! I was wondering what type of wax seal you used for her toilet? I appears to be blue?

Use a drill brush on the tub next time. It's a lifesaver.

I wonder if Magic Eraser would work instead of the sandpaper to get the mildew off. It's still an abrasive, but even finer

i also like to install flooring barefooted. you get a better feel for it.

❤❤❤❤

It is beautiful she will get her money out

Sorry to hear about her divorce. Ur a good friend and did an amazing job.

When women support women, incredible things happen❤

Y you didn’t flip the cabinets?

that will definitely pull more $$ than it's previous decor.

Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses.

Why did you bleep out "shower"?

Plumbers are not bashful when they bill.

👍🏻😍💣

Great job, but the vanity could have easily been drastically made over by just painting it white and adding modern nickel hardware.

I painted this for you so you can look at it every time you take a 💩 Lol 😂

Nice job! But…please don’t use Comet with your bare hands! 1:40

You're a good egg Melissa...

Ugh, drop ceiling tiles - gives me the vibes of a 90s/early 2000s mediocre office buildings... Obviously, on a budget, so replacing with something better was out of the question.

What happen after her divorce, j.k lol

LMAO ya you really should have left out that first part.. thats embarrassing.. nobody needs to know that ur friend is going thru a divorce what the hell kind of friend are u?

❤
