After a $2,500 Reno, This "Murky Brown" Bathroom Feels 2x as Bright
Briefly

The article recounts Brenna's bathroom renovation experience where she discovers a note from a previous owner, indicating the last remodel date. Displeased with the outdated, dark tiles that cramped the space, she and her family embarked on a transformative DIY project. With a budget of $2,500, they replaced the former tiles with bright white subway tiles, opening up the small area. Their coordinated effort, including significant tile work, resulted in a bathroom that felt more spacious and aligned with contemporary design trends.
If you're renovating a home down to the studs, you might find treasures in the walls, like photos, razor blades, newspapers, or old architectural plans.
The grout made them look dirty, and the dark color made the already small space feel crowded, she says.
Once the vision was set, my mom and I demoed the shower tile! My mom was a champ, helping me take the shower down to the studs.
Running it nearly to the ceiling helps show off the 9-foot ceilings and makes the shower feel so much taller and brighter.
