Deciding to remodel an uncomfortab= le bathroom

=20
=20 =20

We initially lo= oked for a move-in-ready home, but hadn=E2=80=99t found many within our bud= get in our desired Atlanta suburb of Clarkston. The bathrooms in our new sp= lit-level house=E2=80=94built in 1982=E2=80=94would need to be remodeled ev= entually; we=E2=80=99d tackle those jobs as we could afford them. Three yea= rs later and with a toddler in our midst, we were ready. The master bathroo= m would be our first big project.

We had many pro= blems with the original en-suite bathroom. Mainly, it was hideous. I dislik= ed the wall color, the warped laminate vanity, and the stick-on floor tiles= . Not only was the pattern terrible, but the tiles were coming unglued. The= worst offender was the plastic-insert shower. It was small and claustropho= bic, and no amount of scrubbing would remove its mold and mildew stains. Ev= en just-cleaned, the bathroom felt dirty. I couldn=E2=80=99t stand showerin= g in there.

As first-time r= enovators, our biggest question was, =E2=80=9CWhat is this supposed to cost= ?=E2=80=9D We had a limited budget and no idea what was reasonable. Our bud= get was $5,000, but quickly realized how many corners we=E2=80=99d have to = cut. We couldn=E2=80=99t afford to change the floor plan, so we agreed on t= he goal of transforming the bathroom into a pleasant, relaxing space. I dec= ided to save money by designing the bathroom myself and doing it around an = existing light fixture.
