Last year, I found the “Better Homes” TV show, which I want to share with y'all flippers. They tell you how to renovate home divisions on a budget. In this particular video, they teach how to renovate a bathroom, spending very little money. The result (see it by yourself) is nothing but great! I think that this is great advice for flippers that want to keep the budget low. Lets have a look at the key:
1) They didn't use more tiles, they simply painted those that were there! It cost them under $200 to paint them. White is always a great colour for everything (being the walls or the tiles), because it will never be trendy (which means that may lose popularity) at the same time it is always modern... and cheap! Not seldom you find yourself buying very expensive ink because the colour is too specific.
2) They got the furniture and accessories from a local market, for which they paid incredibly low prices. They needed some adjustment, whose time needs to be accounted for. You may or may not have the time to do it, but if you have it, its definitely worth it. Try to be supervised by someone with lots of experience, because if you're flipping a house, the last thing you want to do is the potential buyers to find it recycled instead of flipped.
3) The vanity and rest of the furniture/cabinets came out for less than $100. She painted the vanity with a nice black that goes magically with the rest of the bathroom.
A nice tip given: paint the walls with the same colour of the floor (or one of the colours that crop up if you have multiple colours). This technique, called Clay dust, ties the whole room together.
The whole project came up to less than 2k, which is unbelievable low for the transformation that took place. Keep in mind that 800$ were spent on the tub insert, which was very expensive.
(the prices are in Australian dollars).
