Holly Many of you who read my blog are not designers, architects or in any type of construction business. I hope though that you have learned something from this blog and that is good design can be done by yourself. You just have to know where to get the right tips and ideas for your project and how to put all that information together into a good design.
Bathrooms are the most likely room to be remodeled by a do it yourself. Bathrooms can be easy to fix up because there is a lot of work, but if you have to you can usually keep the fixtures in the same place. Most people replace the shower, the toilet and the vanities.
Bathroom vanities come in many shapes colors and sizes. Some hold 2 sinks some just one. You can get them to match almost any shower you decide to use and of course they need to work with your lifestyle. If you have 5 kids you need 2 sinks in the kids bathroom. If you only have 2 one sink may work just fine. A good rule when doing a children’s bath is to take them along and let them pick out the shower and Bathroom vanity. This way they get something they like too. You will have to guide them but it should turn out okay. If you don’t want to take them shopping check out some websites online that have a huge selection of bathroom fixtures, one I like is Premeirvanities.com.
The biggest thing to remember when redoing a bathroom or any room in your home is to not do anything you can’t do. Really think before you start a project because most of the time a DIY ends up spending more doing a project then they would have if they had hired someone.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
