So I have a typical South Buffalo bathroom, they are to small to make it really high end but I am gonna do my best. First I will replace the tub, tear out the walls around the tub surround and replace with cement backer board. I will be tiling the surround with a beige mosaic. The floor will be next with a matching 6x6 beige tile. The walls are all new drywall so the only wall that will be replaced is the tub surround. The floor will also get 1/2" cement backer board. The tile on the floor will have beige grout and the walls will have white grout( I think). new toilet, new vanity, new marble vanity top with white vessel bowl and chrome single faucet. Gonna go with a lime green color for the walls, with all white molding and vanity, medicine cabinet. finishing touches will be chrome towel holder, toilet paper holder, hand towel holder, shower head,glass shower doors, and white entry + closet doors. My budget is $3,500 and it will cover all materials needed. Beer money is extra. I already checked the plumbing behind the tub and its all cooper thank god, so that should be less of a pain the neck. My goal is to have it done by sunday night. I am buying all the stuff tonight and starting to morrow at 4:00. Should be a fun weekend. Here is the old nasty bathroom. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel009.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel009.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel008.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel008.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel007.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel007.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel006.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel006.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel005.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel005.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel004.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel004.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel003.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel003.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel001.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/bathremodel001.jpg) ---

I could have spent $1900 on flooring for my place instead of ~$13.5k … same size 😃 I would put my $1200 bathroom up against ones much more expensive. There are plenty of quality materials and clever options out there that don’t always cost a lot of money, which I am sure you were also aware of:) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-weekend-project-bathroom-remodel-done-2-19/62539.md?page=2)
