What Happened to my Extreme Bathroom Makeover...Progress Has Been Made 

2:58 our sorryboy austin assuring us that the plastic will be reused is funny to me 🤣 and how cute is the fact that he was so down filming by himself for becky 😭❤️

The way Austin recorded video of him putting in the window for Becky 🥹❤️

Becky & Austin are the duo the DIY world deserves.

Aww the ‘smart… And good looking’ was soo cute, definitely true! Yalls perseverance is inspiring!

I have to say the "teal slate" tile is actually fantastic! It reads copper patina in a really good way and definitely makes sense with your 70's vibe and paired with the warm rich wood tones! Stinking awesome choice!

I love the addition of the Sorry Boy this week. ❤

Wow, check out Austin with his master DIY skills. I have seen him do this and that over the years, but I didn’t know he was up to this level. Oh yeah, I guess he did build a fence when you were doing your patio I think. Anyway, it’s a match made in heaven!

My jaw dropped when you revealed the old vinyl tile match! 😮😮😮 that’s so insane!!!

I’m glad you share the mistakes too, because not only did you learn something, but I can learn from you as well!

Manifesting the cork tile going in a guest room where it can have it's beautiful moment while not being in a high traffic/high moisture area.

Girl I was scared of that black grout and it turned out GORGEOUS. I love the idea that you’re giving the bathroom back the life it used to have! I had that happen when painting my house, we removed some old trim and saw the color it used to be underneath was almost exactly the same 🥲

I think the green tile was a good choice - needed some contrast to break up all the brown tones youre planning on doing. I think its going to look really good when youre done.

"Very smart...AND good looking." I'm dead, so smooth 😂

austin is our positive masculinity king

Gosh I love Austin, every time he makes an appearance, he's complimenting Becky and teaching and goofing around. Love seeing him in the videos! What a wonderful couple

I worked in the tile industry for the past 8 years. If you go to showrooms and ask, they may either have discontinued tile that they no longer have in the showroom floor because the quantity is too low but would be enough for your project. Or there may be orders that were never picked up and forfeited that the showroom would be willing to sell cheaply. Also reuse or restore centers often have small amounts of tile. To address a few concerns you voiced … Porcelain tile is non porous so it should not be affected by the color of the grout. If using stone, make sure to seal it before setting it and then again after grouting to ensure it isn’t stained by the grout or things dropped on it. Hope that helps!

Although it was a super pain to find the mold and wood damage, it is better to find that sooner than later if it does exist. Becky, you and Austin have both done an amazing job on your house. The bathroom is promising to look gorgeous. I lived through the 70's and find I still don't like brown, although you've almost made me love it with the decorating that you've done in your house already. You've made your house sing, Becky! I can't wait to see the finished floofed bathroom. Thank you for sharing your experiences and truths with us. It will really help all of us!

I’m a firm believer that houses speak to us. That they want to be a kind of way. They have their own ideas and you have to listen to them or it just never seems like it’s at peace with itself. That sounds weird maybe but then …. Your tile being the upscale version of what was originally there happened and I was like, “See!!!”. I loved that moment. Also because Austin gets a little piece of 80’s glam in your gorgeous 70’s oasis lol.

Becky, love the way you and Austin collaborate. A match made in heaven. You have made excellent choices design wise and otherwise. Can hardly wait to see the further adventures of that 70s house.

The grout worked out great. It did dry lighter and it just melts away and it looks like it was meant to be. I’m sure you’ve already made your decisions about it, but you could certainly put some brown tile on the backsplash or even larger areas and it would match well. I can’t wait to see what else you do there. So far it looks wonderful.

I was laughing while you were freaking out over the grout. I kept repeating "it's going to look great Becky". And it does.

Updates, yessss! Loving the Austin contributions to the video. 🥰

Having lived in a 70ish era house in a damp hollow somewhere in southern Ontario, every time I saw your house I was sure I could smell mold. When you finally found and removed the mold I was just sure must be there, and reconstructed PROPERLY, I was so relieved! I think discovering mold in your house has to be one of the most traumatic things ever for a homebuyer with big reno plans. Well done you two!

I’m loving the floor. It reminds me of houses in Europe in the 70’s. Once people started taking out the orange and cream patterned tile they moved up to slate. Good choice

I love teal! Plus with the white and wood tones it will feel like you're at a luxury spa!

Important notes of clarification on floor vs wall tile that I definitely want people to know to be better equipped/confident in their choices: 1) There are ABSOLUTELY ceramic floor tiles available - they can be fired and/or reinforced to be more than strong enough for residential usage. So please don’t be turned off of a potentially beautiful floor tile just because it’s ceramic! 2) Performance is one reason wall tile cannot be applied on floors, but it is not the only one! Almost any mosaic with glass in it will not be rated for floor application for obvious reasons. There are also some polished tiles that have not passed necessary slip resistance tests to be approved for floor application. 3) There’s a distinct difference between dry and wet floor application, as well as dry/wet exterior applications. Like the polished tile example before, that same slip resistance might not meet the minimum standard for a bathroom, but could still be fine for a public not-usually-wet-area like a hallway, living room or kitchen. When installing on walls, those same considerations obviously don’t apply. This may sound like a lot, but no matter where you purchase your tile, there should always be a trained professional who should be able to walk you through what will and will not work for your needs. Every tile manufactured has a set of tests (slip resistance, hardness, moisture content, variation ratings, etc) that will always be reported on either the side of the box or at least on the product’s spec sheet which can usually be found online. And these same information sources will also confirm where any given product is approved for installation. And last note - while wall tiles cannot be installed on floors, pretty much any floor tile CAN be installed on walls. So never feel restricted to only material labeled “wall tile” if that’s what you’re looking for! Hope that helps anyone who needs the info and sorry for the essay! 😅

Wow that bathroom really wanted to have teal-green tile😍 It would look so good with browns, love!

I cant concentrate on anything because Becky’s hair always looks so amazing

Wow I’m impressed Austin is amazingly talented..He should go into home renovations..

23:03 That black grout you were so worried about looks perfect!! It matches the tiles so nicely. And how the original vinyl flooring matches your tiles. That is called Serendipity!!!

Ah! Becky, I've been second-hand stressing for your bathroom. Glad to hear you're moving forward!

Ok actually though... Is he the CUTEST HUSBAND?? What a sweetheart. Filmed a video and everything. Major points scored Sir. ❤ For anyone else who might be starting a tiling project and wanting to use tiles (or any flooring, wall surface etc) that is limited quantities (bonus points for second hand)... ALWAYS rule your most important SEEN places first. Using this as an example, the tiles under where the cabinets will be don't need to be the green tiles if there weren't enough of them. You never know what could happen with DIY (could drop or break tiles while cutting for example) so lay out the tiles in a dry fit first. If you need to make changes you can rearrange till you find a fix, THEN adhere them. 😊

My first home had sub-floor heating throughout the entire house, and it was absolutely the best thing ever. I miss it so much that I will still occasionally dream about it, and I haven't lived there for almost 20 years.

You are truly teaching us, Becky. Learning from your mistakes. I love TSG creative courage.

Becky and Austins relationship makes me smile 😁 they are adorable

I just finished 18 months of Invisalign…it is so weird at first but you absolutely get used to it. What’s even more funny is that I was just admiring your sweet little gap🥰. The tile looks awesome!

Hi guys! Tile with dark grout looks Great! And yes, compromising in a relationship is key, but my husband still won't "let me" put floral in our bedroom. So I glammed, glitters and floraled my craft room. Yep

Bathroom is looking great, Austin did a phenomenal job and I'm sure Danny will love the heated floor.

I love how Becky was like "are you filming a little video?" 😂 why's it gotta be "little?" Lol 😂 we 🫶 austin!

The floor tile reminds me of the ocean 🌊 I’m obsessed!

YAY! I LOVE the tile!!!

The house I grew up in had green marble countertops and I miss them so much!! Makes sense since it was built in the 80s! They’re so beautiful.

Becky! Have you seen Jenna Phipps mid century modern house?! I think of you every time I see it. 😍

That black grout had me nnneeeeeerrrrvousss but it looks so nice!

"Very smart, and good looking." Love Austin! Thank you!❤🎉

Austin is a gem. His little comments make me smile.

What you are looking for is likely not regular tiles but terracotta. It's the exact aesthetic, including the matte, earthy finish. It's very popular in Mediterranean countries. It should be available anywhere, as it's basically clay. It's great for floors and very durable, but it needs to be sealed properly if it's going to be used in bathrooms.

Becky is back!! I hope your team is having a great week! Sending positive vibes from Kansas!

We have green marble with white checkered in my parents home and when they moved in 15 years ago I said to my mom "oh that's dated are you going to keep it" and my mom said, "absolutely that's real marble!" and it has aged so well it's so beautiful!

I love the way I smiled as soon as Austin started talking to the camera 😄 he's great and deserves the camera time!

Omg!! That blue green teal tile is giving Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion onyx walls!! So perfect

The chaos area in the 70s home is no longer choas!

I just love watching Austin. He is the man for all the works. I love this colour choice better. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Austin won.

I was dying for you with that black grout. Phew……it turned out beautifully.

3:13 Yass king! Plastic is reusable and we should always do so when plastic is required. Plastic isn’t the villain, human behavior is.

I really adore Austin's appearance. He comes across as supportive, helpful and cheerful-a real keeper!

The bathroom is looking great! How freaky that the original floor is what you ended up buying.😮 Can’t wait for the next video! Have a great week! 😊

The ghost of the vinyl flooring said, “you’re not going to forget me that easily.” 😂 I’m so excited to see it finished!!

I love that you’ve really kept this series as DIY as possible. What a commendable feat, and so inspiring for a new homeowner like me! 🙌🏻

The blue tile with black grout is beautiful! I think it looks so pretty and was a better overall choice than the brown

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh! 👏👏👏 So, so happy that you’re finally moving forward! My heart was broken for you for awhile there.

My mom and I watch these together. She used to be an interior designer for years and specialized in kitchens and bathrooms. Just bragging about her rn; she was so good that a large home builder hired her. 😁 She loves the green; she thinks it's oddly timeless and just the right amount of color. Also, if anyone lives in southwest Florida, my mom might've done your kitchen/bathroom, lol.

Your speech sounds fine! You sound slightly different, but it's not super noticeable at all. The bathroom is great, and it's nice that you are showing when things change. The thing is, you can't fully decide on things until you have all the info, and now you have more info than you did. Also I love that you actually consider Austin and his preferences unlike most people i see on YT who think it's hilarious to just ignore the other person or do something they hate. You guys show what an actual healthy compromise is. Dark grout is the way to go! It blends in and also it won't get stained and gross like white does.

We have to redo at least part of our finish basement we’ll eventually have to redo all of it but it’s so expensive that right now the plan is to do what we literally have to do. I was researching how you have to put the rigid foam in between the concrete and I haven’t seen how much it cost just so this is good information.

OH MY, that grout!! I was yelling the whole time you were working on it..."Please don't use that grout!" But then, of course, it dried to the perfect color. I.can.not.believe. that it dried sooo much lighter! And Austin's "Are you proud of me?" So cute!

wait that tile with a warm medium/dark stain wood!!!! so good. i see your vision 100%. and the grout turned out perfect!

I have been waiting for an update! ❤❤❤

I'm so glad you opted for large tiles in the end. Yes, small tiles are cool, and if that's what you like, you do you, I'm not stopping you. However, small tiles mean lots of grout lines - which means more labor for the person cleaning the bathroom. If this is your forever home, then that means 40 - 50 + years of cleaning the bathroom, so you'll want to do yourself a favor and make it as easy as possible to clean. I know you opted for black grout which won't show the dirt as much, and kudos on that, but every now and then someone will still need to clean those grout lines.

For floor tiles that feel mid-century, my heart always screams terrazzo, but I love the compromise you came up with with the 80s colored marble! xD All stones are pretty to me anyways, I'm easy to please like that, but I'll always have a soft spot for terrazzo, even when it's not trendy anymore. ❤

Becky has been, and always will be the ultimate favourite of the crew. Combine with Austin, they are are the best🥰

I LOVE that blue! Looks like the Benjamin Moore ‘Blue Danube’ I painted my lower kitchen cabinets. Love your designs and design choices. 😁❤️

LOL!! AWE!! I love that Danny is in the intro. He is so CUTE!!!

That tile is currently trending, it is having a resurgence. And tbh, I'm into it! I would love to use it in one of my projects. Good choice!

I grew up in a house built in the 40’s in Levittown NY with radiant heat generated with hot water (like the ancient Roman’s) in all the floors downstairs. Never cold in the winter.

1. I’m also redoing some floors in my house and struggling with options so I feel your pain. 2. I am also obsessed with Troye Sivan’s house and screamed when you said that. 3. Yay for more Austin. He seems great and his videos are so chill.

Austin couldn’t make a better choice with the new blue wall, looks way too good!!

Looking fantastic.... well done to you both, and to the foreman Danni as well...

All couples do not work well together especially on intense projects like this one. Discovering the structural damage was a heartbreaker for sure, knowing that took priority and patience over completing a "new" area gut, kudos. You took your time and didn't put a "band-aid on a boo-boo". 100% respect for that! "Pivot", that should be a word in any DIY'er, renovators vocabulary. It doesn't mean abandon all, embrace some flexibility. Looking forward to the reveal!

Okay Austin subtly meeting Maneskin is the biggest flex!!! I saw them in concert last summer and that is SO COOL to me that he ran into them!!

Wow I was waaay skeptical of the black grout at first but it turned out PERFECT 😍

It looked like what you wanted was more of a terracotta floor tile which I didn't know you can't get in Canada you can get them everywhere in the UK, love the tiles you went for though xxx

I love the tile floor!! It looks so elegant and classy! Can't wait to see this space finished! 🤩

‘And good looking’ 😂😍 smart man!

I'm sorry but I can't withhold my comment - the story about the teal tile is adorable??? Love how it's such a unique compromise!

Dark grout is so much easier to keep looking clean. But when you were sponging and sponging I did get a little worried. Whew! It looks amazing. :)

Becky and Austin are a power couple with DIY skills! The bathroom is looking great. Way to go Austin for all your extra hard work on the house!

ugh i can’t wait for updates!! im far too invested :,)

I did black grout and I LOOOOOVE IT! Because white always looks dirty! I’m obsessed with my black and white marble look tiles with black grout!!! Dark grout for the win! But yes, it looked like I had spilled my hair dye all over the floor when I started. I panicked too but it turned out amazing and so did yours!!

The grout choice was 🤌🏽 and that old tile reveal was 🤯

The orange heated flooring base looks like a Lego base 😂

FYI I installed cork floating floors in my bathroom and debated the same - solution is multiple layers of varnish to seal the cork. I put on 6 layers and after 11 years it is still perfect. I’m contemplating on painting them now for a change but I’ve had no problems!

Aaaahhh!! I cannot WAIT for the next video to see everything come full circle!! It's looking so good already!

This bathroom has been through so much but it needed that to come out the other side and look like this 😍😍

I love the floor tiles and the grout looks great with it!

Black grout brought me to a standstill and a copious amount of tears when I used it. Good for you for keeping calm and carrying on😊.

The floor makes it look likea hotel I love it!!!! I really didn't have the vision I have to be honest at first but I can't wait to see the rest this is so exciting!!!!

everybody say great work austin!❤

The “are you proud of me?” 🥺🥺🥰

I’m just glad to see y’all aren’t in a state of stress anymore. There’s a light at the end and it looks so good!

The old bathroom floor telling you that you're doing retro right. 👍
