Recently however, we got married, and while we did not ask for gifts, got some cash from friends and family. What to do with it? "How about fixing up the basement bathroom?", Christine suggested. Sure, it was dingy and dark in there, but it worked, and I didn't see much need to do anything there. But with a friend in the tile retail area, we got our product at cost, and decided for a full facelift.
While it's hard to tell what's going on from the pics, we took out all the old tile (ok, hired a guy to chisel it out) and the home-made vanity. Since we don't use it often, we kept the tub in place. A minor adjustment on the wall between shower and vanity made a world of a difference, as did the light in the shower. Most of the other product came from Home Depot either on sale, or bought on a budget.
We're pretty happy how it turned out - I think our house-guests will be happy too!
