Postscript to Minor Bathroom Makeover

Barbara Heise - Search for Homes for Sale in St. Louis: Real Estate Brokerage in Saint Louis, MO

My article on bathroom facelifts has me focused on bathrooms now and since I am becoming a technology freak, I couldn't pass up sharing this article with you from Houselogic entitled 3 Hot Trends for Bathroom Remodeling in 2012 by Jamie Goldberg.

The three trends she lists are:

  1. Jetson's toiletConservation rules that will be popping up as regulations which will affect your remodel plans
  2. New technology which involves iPhones, high-tech toilets (a bun warmer? or a toilet seat night light?), television screens in your medicine cabinet, etc
  3. New safety features in showers, tubs and flooring

(Wow! a toilet with a remote control?!)

It all sounds like some creativity and fun can be had in our smallest and most essential room in the house.

Value Added = Minor Bathroom Makeover

According to the Cost vs Value Report 2010-11, the cost of an average bathroom remodel is $18163 in St. Louis and the recapture is 63%. However, there are many small touches that are very inexpensive that can make your bathroom take on a new and current look. Sometimes with just a couple of hundred dollars and a little elbow grease, a weekend do-it-yourself project can produce a 100% return on your dollar.

Glass tiles spark up bathroom



In this bathroom, my client spent a Saturday adding a glass tile back splash and a glass shelf. This little bit of "extra" put the finishing touches on this lower level bathroom.






Bathroom paint updates hardware




According to Kristi at Addicted 2 Decorating, this project got a little more intense than she would have liked but it was inexpensive and gave the bathroom a whole new look. Click on the link for the step by step. She made the brass go away with oil-rubbed bronze.






Bathroom cabinet

Glass bathroom ounter











Here is something I did to my bathroom. This wooden cabinet look was going to cost over $1500 in all the supply catalogues. I found this old sewing machine cabinet in a pile of junk at an estate sale and paid $100 for it, the sink was $70, the glass counter was approx $300. The glass could easily be switched to a granite.



These are just a few samples of inexpensive bathroom projects that can make a difference in your sale. Sometimes it is just changing the shower curtain and towels, or just painting. Maybe it's as simple as a new mirror. Here is an article from Small Bathroom Makeovers that has more interesting and inexpensive ideas.
