Bathroom remodel
A family bathroom that stopped being the one you apologise for
New vanity, mirror and lighting in a small family bathroom, with the floor run through and the walls repainted.
The record
Not every bathroom needs to be rebuilt. This one needed the things that were actually wrong with it put right: a vanity with drawers instead of a pedestal, light at the mirror rather than only overhead, and a floor that goes under the fixtures rather than being cut around them. The existing surround was sound and was kept, which is where most of the budget for a room like this usually goes.

01
Light at the face, not the ceiling
A fixture above the mirror at working height, which is the single cheapest change that makes a small bathroom usable.

02
The sound surround was kept
Replacing something that is working is how a modest budget gets spent on the wrong thing.
