I have a bathroom that is in dire need of an upgrade. There isn't a ton that can be done with the space, but Christ almighty it's a pain in the fucking ass to find anything on bathrooms. Kitchens? Massive amount of design ideas, products, features, whatever. Bathrooms? A couple shitty pinterest posts. If anybody is a non-pinterest user and tries to get anything OUT of pinterest (pictures and whatnot), Seppuku suddenly seems reasonable.
I digress.
Anybody have any features or designs in their bathroom they're proud of?
Essentially mine consists of:
A shower (replaced shortly before I moved in I'm not going to mess with)
72" double sink cabinet vanity
A full length huge ass built in vanity above the sink with bypass mirror doors.
Shit flooring
A closet with bypass doors.
Toilet I probably won't replace.
1 outlet (:-))
The wall next to the shower is just sheetrock with crappy trim that is starting to show some effects from moisture.
I need to get some more electricity in there and probably different lighting. I'm guessing the electricity will require the big wall vanity to come out. If it doesn't I need to do something with the bypass mirrors regardless.
Some dicknose along the way painted all the wood in the house (trim, doors, whatever). Which I wouldn't hate so much if they would have chosen to SAND THE POLYURITHANE OFF FIRST. The fucks. They did not, so it all looks like dog balls.

Nah man. I kind of went crazy and spent a mountain of money on a kick-ass kitchen. I don’t think I could move somewhere with a dumpy little kitchen. I’m stuck here. [Reply]
This is my bathroom. I added a towel to the back of the toilet, I feel that really spices it up. Maybe that's something you'll want to consider as it's a cheaper alternative.

We spent around $8k when we redid ours back in 2018. It was a handicap bathroom with no door to the bathroom just a wide open view to the toilet from the bed. Contractor built a new wall, added a door, tile floors, granite, glass shower door (expensive by itself) painted, textured.
The previous shower was not usable, had no shower door. Not even a curtain. Looks pretty sweet in there now. Has a nice seat in the shower and built in niche as he calls it. Most of that $8k was just the shower. [Reply]

Damn son, you need to change your diet and work on your aim [Reply]
I'm remodeling 3 bathrooms this month. Tile shower surrounds new marble floors, upgrade the shower doors new vanities new lighting etc. If you weren't so far away I would come do yours.
The thing to do is google image search for tile showers. Find what you like and then pay a guy. The electrical is easy when you have everything torn out. [Reply]
So your not actually "redoing" your bathroom since that would entail gutting the whole thing and starting over from scratch.
My suggestion would be to hire an electrician and have him run the power. After that, if you're handy, you should be able to to handle wall repair, flooring and paint. [Reply]

You son of a bitch. You're the one that just moved out of my rent house!!! You can kiss your fucking deposit goodbye! [Reply]
Im going to be putting rollouts in my cabinets under my vanity, so I don’t have to lay down to grab shit out of it. Also put up some wainscoting in the kids bathroom and put in wood floors, that helped a lot. I can text you some pictures of that if you want to see them. [Reply]
