Items I may or may not have used but should have:
Mirror adhesive: amzn.to/34EUxqf
Electrical Gang Box extender: amzn.to/2ReK9SQ
Tool List:
Cordless Drill: amzn.to/3wMYghe
Drill/ Driver Combo: amzn.to/3pe83dP
In this DIY small bathroom remodel / renovation we did it in 3 days and under $750. Keep in mind this was a QUICK and EASY project. There were things missed. We will be doing an addition on our home this next year and redoing a lot of these things, all the walls, electrical items, and yes we'll be getting rid of the ugly door.
Some of the bigger stuff like the countertop, lights, faucet, and paint was from Lowes, some tools and electrical stuff from home Depot, and well odds and ends at Walmart.
*Colors: Valspar metropolis for the grey and blue kiss for the white.
Started by taking off and out everything except the toilet. Wife did the painting. I did a skim coat of drywall mud to take off the textured walls. Painted the cabinets and doors, got a new marble laminate countertop, added new 3 pc faucet, new vanity light fixture, new cabinet mirror. and we kept the trim, tile, toilet and shower.
This project took us 3 days and cost us about $700.
Thanks for watching. - Jak na to + styl

I think that was the cleanest demo I’ve ever seen of a bathroom! It’s like everything was glued on with elmer’s glue 😂
Knowing my house it probably was!
I wish ours was! Our bathroom and conservatory is COVERED in super glue 😖.
@@-DIYPRO- you have to do oyiyui I
Hi I y
I can up I oo
I’m yÿy I t I it
Patience
I’ve installed many replacements bath vanity and cabinets.
Install the faucet,water lines and sink before mounting the top. Much faster and less headaches later.
Good job.
Exactly, I learned that lesson and did that on my last install.
Tip: When removing a mirror like that, use duct tape in a cross cross pattern (#) across the mirror. That way when/if it breaks, the falling pieces are contained and don’t slice your arm in half. You were lucky in that whoever hung that mirror originally, did a terrible drop of glueing it which is why it came off so easily. Safety first!
I know, I was going to put tape on it but it popped off so easy didn't bother with this on.
On my newest bathroom video I did put tape on it just because I could tell right off the glue was holding a lot tighter. Still got it off no problem then I broke it down in my garage haha!
Wow. that's a. great tip mate
great advice!
Not to mention WHERE ARE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!!!! I am a female senior citizen and I even know you have to wear eye protection!!!
You can NEVER finish a project without going to the hardware store at least 10 times that day. 😤
and that's a fact!
Its probably the most frustrating part of the job 😒😒😒
😭😭😭😭😭
That's fact lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This has to be one of the best "how to" videos I've seen. And everything you say I went through on my spare bath.
Thanks Linda!
I agree. I watched like 4. He was like straight to the point and wasn’t just pointing on himself like this one girl did. It was super annoying lol
@@-DIYPRO- I koi
Agreed
It really held my attention and had me laughing
I really appreciate how you got right to the point in each part of the project. Your editing was perfect. Congrats on the success of the bathroom remodel. You make it seem like something I could do too. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
I enjoyed your narration! It's really refreshing to listen to someone that's funny and humble, instead of the standard on CZcams tutorials: 'look at my awesome bathroom transformation guys'. Great job. I wish I had someone to do my bathroom...
Your wife is smart! I hate the textured walls too 👏👏❤️
Definitely a lot smarter than me. I'm the lucky one!
Pro Tip. Install the faucet before you install the counter top. That way you have access to both sides easily.
Pro tip. Don’t do that as access to silicone the edges gets limited
Pro tip 2. Before installing the countertop use silicone to secure it to the vanity.
If you wanna change the top but keep the vanity in the future or vice versa you won't damage the van or potentially break the stone counter
This is a great video. The speed up, the details, the commentary. Wow! Thanks. Glad I found you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was sped up? Now you tell me. I've been trying to do my bathroom remodel at the same pace as him.
This gives me hope. I will be a first time home owner hopefully some time this year and I will definitely want to tackle some projects like this.
Same ‘cause when this pandemic 😷 is over, my family is going to remodel the pink bathroom.
me too which me luck
Same! The house I want has a seashell shaped countertops in the bathroom. If I get it, replacing those will be my first project. Good luck with your search!
You guys can definitely make it happen. I bought my house last year and got lazy because of all the o.t I was putting at work. But time to start remodeling.
DIY ruins houses! The job will never, and i repeat never be done like a professional job, it takes years of experience to remodel properly, every time my clients buy new houses, i have to go in and fix DIY crap jobs all the time. Don’t be a cheap ass and do it right, it’s your house, your investment, don’t half ass it.
Just a tip for others. It would have been easier if you attached the faucets to the vanity before you attached it to the cabinet. Thanks for this video.
GREAT JOB 👍🏼
Working with the wife is awesome, that’s how we do it!
I know if I I done it by myself I would have had to have done it over again!

I love how he always says "THE WIFE LOVES THIS....." 😆😍
He has no style either.......all good
আরে এরা কারা ? হাগু করে ছুচে কি দিয়ে 😆 পুশ নাই কেন মাসুদ ?
I know. Almost 3yrs later. But beautiful!!! I was looking for ideas for my father's bathroom. He has a tiled walk-in shower that needs to be replaced. And came across your video for my own bathroom. Again, BEAUTIFUL!!
Thanks!
I've seen many videos on remodeling, this was one of the best quick overview videos I've seen. Great job!
Thanks!
A man who reads instructions.... Faints in amazement!! Very cute remodel!! 😁
Thanks!
Good video. Captures most of the struggle.
I draw a quick diagram on a piece of cardboard and pop the screws or hardware right into the cardboard in the exact location the piece came from. Learned that from working on cars. You can save the ziplock and w new parts etc there's alway extra cardboard laying around. Loved how you fixed the textured wall😍 this was inspirational!
That would work.
OMG.......your bathroom is set up EXACTLY like ours...down to the off centered light fixture. Thank you for making this video because it was helpful for us to figure out how we were going to remodel our bathroom.
Glad it helped!
Mech Master I I
I have had the same issue with a light fixture. Thanks for the offset info
Another tip I learnt from my personal renovating was to screw on the faucet to the sink first then add on the hoses after so you don’t have to be stuck under the sink in a tight space for too long
Yes indeed. Learned my lesson on my other bathroom!
czcams.com/video/FTywylvE2h0/video.html
I agreed, the used bathroom vanity with sink can make it way to another home in need. Thanks for your sharing!
Except the Restore wouldn't accept it with stains
@@-DIYPRO- true
I truly enjoyed watching this video. The audio description and rate of speed made it enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your experience!
That part were you taped the measurement paper and drilled exactly without the trials and errors. Loved it now I will always take measurements that way.👍
Glad it was helpful!
You have me inspired! I also love to see couples working together. Did you ever consider framing your mirror, I think it always makes them look better?
Great idea. I was going to suggest that.
Why 3.5 M people who watched and found helpful to this video did not subscribe? I just subscribed to this channel since this video will greatly help me tackle my project. I had a bathroom estimation from Lewis's partner and they really quote me 19k. Wish me lucky doing by myself!
I know, right! Thanks and good luck!
Love all of this! My only advice for people, being a real estate broker, is to NOT get a flexible drain pipe. Those are not the proper pies and catch debris in the folds. If the drain system doesn’t fit, call a plumber or handyman to install a new assembly. Everything else on this video is gold 👌🏻🔥
If you are talking about the flexible ones with the ribs then totally agree, I guess when I said flexible i mean adjustable lengths. Thanks!
I absolutely love how you puttied the wall to make it a flat surface. Haha so going to try and I don't care if that's not how you're "suppose to do it" 😂😫💪🏽
One can use a dampened sponge to smooth out sheetrock mud...cuts down on dust and cleanup...
Skim coating over a textured wall is not easy. Watch a lot of videos. It's really time consuming. It takes on a life of it own if the lights hit it to create shadows.
Great video! Very helpful. I was recently challenged with the same uncentered light fixture box. I like the way you solved that.
To keep things even easier assemble the sink plumbing - at least the faucet and handles - before putting the top on the vanity.
When re-skimming over textured drywall , the best trick I ever learned, was to thin down drywall mud and apply to wall with a paint roller. Then use what is called a Magic trowel which is flexible and goes over the bumps easily. So much easier than all that sanding.
I just happened upon your video, and you literally cover everything I need to do but haven't before. You have no idea how much you've helped this gray haired old lady. :)
Glad it helped.
Great job, quick tip. Put your faucet on before you attach the countertop makes that assembly alot easier, also use white silacanized latex caulk. It will hide your gaps better and it's way easier to use.
Agreed!
Looks great! You and “the wife” did a great job!😆❤️
Thank you!! 😁
The difference with us girls is that we like to explain everything this guy was quick and straight to the point 😂👍🏼
TY!
The electrical box you used for the light is used for ceiling fans. That's why it comes with the brace to support the extra weight. Great idea to use it for the light!
Do you know the name of the rail?
@@angkham if you look up "ceiling fan box" you'll find it. they sell them at Lowes/Home Depot... all the hardware stores really
@@robertoirving3685 appreciate ya!
Yes, it is generally availabl at home stores. Couldn't tell from the video but be sure the box is also metal for the ceiling fan mount/support.
Good job, mister! And one litle advice, before puting sink table, fix tap and highest part of drain! It's much easier do that before, after puting sink table on place, just conect tubes and drain! And one thing more, very well explained gray walls and white furniture, why not make oposite! Really enjoyed in this video, thank you!
Yep learned my lesson on that one!
Glad to hear I am not the only more than one trip or two per project!!!
😂 I swear it wouldn't be a DIY of you don't make at minimum 3 trips!
this channel is interesting as watching paint dry
Good things it's not as boring as watching paint dry, that would be hard to get through all of them!
wow! this video is so helpful; enough detail without being too dense!
Thanks!
Good video. I would recommend taping your drywall joints. It may look fine when at first, but will probably crack. Also, I wouldn't recommend using the drywall anchors that come with the towel bar - they usually fail. I would use a toggler or toggle bolt that goes behind the drywall (if you can't be in a stud - which is the best!)
@Hòmè Ďeçoŕè Stop spamming
It looks beautiful & I love your explanation of everything as you went. So perfect & straightforward. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
To all the haters and bad comments, this guy is doing his job and it looks very nice most of us can say alot of comments but he got it done great job👍👍
Thanks! There will always be haters.
Absolutely love it. My colors. Grey n white. Everything I see brown wood, I think of painting it grey just like this video. 😆
Go for it!
You’ll probably regret not taping the sheet rock around the light fixture. Eventually it always cracks.
Looks much better though!
Loved this video. Hubby & I watched a few & yours was by far the most detailed. This will be a huge help this week as we work on remodeling our bathroom. Thx for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing the colors. Looks great!
No problem!
My dad and brother are both glaziers, so of course I have to pipe in and say that mirrors should never be glued to the wall. There are specific clips that hold them on the bottom and top. Never any worries about breakage coming off, or wanting to reposition later. You really scared me with the removal! ~ and then I was disheartened to see you put it back on the same way... But otherwise, everything looks lovely! Great job!
Enjoyed this. Good changes. Couple of tips: silicone caulk - run the tube in the opposite direction, also, install the faucet in the counter before mounting the counter.
I installed the faucet prior to the countertop on my latest bathroom, much easier!
czcams.com/video/kkMI-bJCvww/video.html
Let me pause the video for a sec....dang y'all took apart everything lol. I can't wait to see how this all looks!!!!
You should see everything now that we are doing our addition!
Fabulous! A few things - after mounting the sink, lay a washcloth over the drain hole to catch anything that might fall, like screws, while you’re working. It’s hard to do a good caulk job after the faucet is mounted. Water will collect most behind it, so it’s important to caulk first, then mount. Use teflon plumbers tape as much as you can on pipe threads - it will help make a great seal, and is removable.
Amazing! I think I built up the guts to try this now.
Go for it!
Great tutorial video!
Beautiful bathroom.
Thank you for sharing.
The decorative piece LOL just a piece of wood. That cracked me up!
Yes we are pretty high class!
Same like our bathroom that we want to remodel. This gave me confidence to do it by overselves. Me and my husband are going to do it. This bathroom looks exactly our bathroom. Cupboards and all.
You and your wife have done a great job 👍😊
Thanks, glad it helped.
@@-DIYPRO- 😊
You're super handy! Good for you! You make it look so simple, lol, I wish I could do stuff like this! Great job guys!
Absolutely loved the remodel!
Looks great! You guys made this look so effortlessly easy!
Thanks!
Very nice. I really like the detail of the countertop. You both did great!
Thanks for the tips & step by step video.The bathroom looks much better.I like the items & colors.You are showing,that it can be done,without costing alot of money.
Thank you so much 😊
This was one of the best most thorough remodeling videos I’ve ever watched! You and your wife did an amazing job!
Thanks! 👍

Right👍Beautiful
Love the grey, especially the door! I might be stealing your color scheme now lol. Thank you for the video, a lot of good information and getting me inspired.
Glad it helped. Thanks!
HGTV remodels will say "$18000 for the bath remodel". Seriously. Great job!
👍good job...when you see the before and after...you see a big difference
Great video, love that you reused the vanity. looks great
Thanks.
This remodel looks beautiful! I have been planning to do the same color scheme with white walls and grey trim/door, so it's good to see an example. I love the fabricated marble sink!
Thanks, good luck with your makeover!
@@-DIYPRO- Another question - what color grey paint did you use? It looks like Ellie Grey by Sherwin Williams, which I am using. Thanks!
Great job!! Not too much re-imagining required to improve the look. Best fix I thought was the light box and re-centering it.
Thank!
Great work, man! Enjoyed your narration as well.
Great great job. One recommendation: change your doorknobs to a nice nickel or chrome lever style to match color of your faucet (chrome) or towel rod (nickel). Door hinges too.
Yea I agree, I was thinking the same thing
That’s the exact counter top I’ve had my eye on. Nice video.
We still love it if you haven't gotten one yet.
Awwww. Thank you. Great job, great direction/explanation. Well done.
Nice little project with great effect! Congratulations to you and your wife for a nice job! I recently intended to do a similarly easy remodel in my bathroom. I found broken tiles, rusted toilet bolts, rusted bathtub, bad drywall, poor insulation and now I am down to bare subfloor and studs as of today. - HA! My bathroom remodel project turned into complete renovation! But... I look at the bright side of life... it is also an opportunity for an elderly-friendly walk-in shower instead of the bath tub, heated floors, heated towel rack, water saving toilet flush, water saving hot water circulation pump, fancy bathroom lights and modern looking tiles. Starting a bathroom project might initially look like filling a rabbit hole with some dirt, but it might get you deep into it. Thanks for your informative video!
Got to love the weekend projects that turn into months!
We’re seeing that as well on our house. It’s easy to underestimate the amount of time needed for projects bc of all the unforeseen additional repairs that crop up
My mom wants to remodel her and my dad's bathroom but we don't have a huge budget to replace the whole vanity so this video is absolutely perfect to follow for the remodel
Have fun and good luck!
Next time you do a skim coat try mixing your mud with water till its like a pancake batter consistency. Then get a 1 1/2 in nap paint roller. Roll it on the wall in sections about 10ft at a time then use your 12 or 14" taping knife to skim it out. Or you can use a magic trowel or a knock down squeegee to smooth it out. It will save you a ton of time. The roller just gets it on the wall super fast. Also if you start skimming on the top and use a slight preasure with your finger on the bottom of the knife going in horizontal movements then just work your way to the bottom (if that makes sense) or you can even do from the bottom in virtical wifes keeping the preassure on the opposite side then work firm left to right. It keeps the knife from cutting in that little line in the product your trying to leave on the wall. Saves hours of sanding and cleaning up dust
I'll try it out!
Just bought a trailer and can’t wait to start some projects.
YES MAN thank you this gave me so much motivation to help revamp my parents house 🙌🏼
Thank you for the flex drain recommendation. This is the second vid I watched that cautioned about the drains not matching up. I have three vanity tops with faucets to install. I was going to hire a plumber but it does look doable.
Were you able to get it done? Good luck!
@@-DIYPRO- I haven't gotten to it yet but I will in the next week or two. Many projects to do.
Looks amazing, great job!!!
Thanks
The commentating is great!
This is a job well done and your bathroom is beautiful! You both make a great team. 😊❤️👏👏👏
Thanks!
Beautiful! Thank you for the ideas. My bathroom is similar and I was thinking of replacing the vanity, but I think I'll paint my existing vanity.
Thanks, have fun with which ever way you go!
Great video, looked good!
I like that you used regular hand tools.
Definitely cheaper that way!
I have the same blueprint in my bathroom! The problem is that my shower stall surround and drop ceiling beneath the previously flooded ceiling are going to make a huge difference. This is the best video of a bathroom renovation.
Made it look so easy
Great job...looks nice!😊
Love that counter top.
Wife and I still love it!
oh man love the way you dud the narrative and this how to video was so funny and educative as well made my day,one of the best how to videos
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial!! Your bathroom looks nice.💯👏👍
Thanks!
Love this! I would recommend to sell or donate your old sinks etc next time! Habitat for Humanity will take old things like that and resell so that they can have money for their projects.
We have one by my house but they wouldn't take it with the stain and the sink had a bunch of corrosion on it.
I love it. All your comments very helpful.
Glad to see someone's actually reading the comments!
This was great! The best video I've come across while trying to do my research on how to "diy restroom". I've been doing my research for over six months and you have made me built confidence in myself to tlacke this project on my own. No more waiting on the hubby! Running to homedepot. Choosing colors, new vanity and light fixture. Piece of cake. Thank you. 👍😊
Nice results!!! Looks great! But, one concern: whenever installing a mirror, if you use glue, it MUST be made for mirrors, as regular construction adhesive will break down the reflective paint on the mirror and the glue splotches will start to ghost through and be visible from the front. Or, even worse, if the painted reflective surface deteriorates enough, the mirror may just fall loose from the wall! - Very important to use mirror pacific glue!
Good point! I've heard that a bunch since this video. It's been 2 years and my mirror is still on there with no spots coming through!
@@-DIYPRO- So far, so good! - Hope you're outta the woods!
WOW awesome ideas!
I JUST shared my bathroom makeover on a tight budget!
Nothing better than getting the look for less! :)
You made this very simple and understandable. We will be doing some remodeling and this video is for sure going to come in handy. Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
Nice work on a budget! I bet that big mirror would look 5x better with some framing around it and it'd be a simple install.
I think so too!
Awesome Job. Thanks For The Upload.
Why didn't you paint all the walls when you had it disassembled
Good remodel. The bathroom layout in this video is same as mine in my last place, even down to the little towel hook between the med cab and the mirror. A doppelganger. I came across this looking for how to remove my existing med cab to replace with a plain mirror. Thanks for posting!
Very cool! Must have been popular floor plans in the 90's!
This guy's voice reminds me of chef John... love it👏
Maybe I should start cooking while DIYing!
Next time installing a new vanity top install your faucet and pop up in before siliconing your vanity to save you some time and you won’t break your back but great job looks amazing!
I learned my lesson and did just that on my latest video.
