Step 5: Easy-to-Install Flooring: I used two kinds of tile, one solid and one patterned. I arranged the tiles so that the patterned ones were in the center and the solid tiles formed a border around the edges. Harvey Maria, the maker of these tiles, has a lot of great information about instillation on its website and even a few really helpful video tutorials! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

The Finished Bathroom AFTER: A new large round mirror above the sink gave the room some much-needed personality and creates the illusion of more space. To install the new mirror I unscrewed the door of the old medicine cabinet from the wall. With the door gone I hung the mirror right over the recessed part of the cabinet, rendering it inaccessible for daily use, but luckily we’d added storage elsewhere. Next, I switched out the old light for this cool long-arm sconce. I feel pretty comfortable changing out light fixtures, but if you’re not, definitely hire a pro to help. Both of these simple changes are great solutions for renters! Just rehang the original light and the mirrored door when you leave. To finish things off, a couple of sleek new hooks were added to the wall for hanging towels or robes. By far the best part of the entire process was welcoming my friends to their new and improved bathroom! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Eventually we plan to remodel the bathroom but for now, we just had enough budget for paint and a few accessories. The cabinets were knotty pine (same as the kitchen) so I primed (two coats), painted a semi-gloss white (three coats), lined the drawers and shelves with a pretty paper and splurged on knobs from Anthropologie.

Filtered daylight and reflections provide a connection to the intense sunlight of the beach outside. As in many beach communities this south wall of windows is only six feet from the neighboring house. Reeded privacy glass screens the short view.

Designing all the features the owner wanted into the small footprint we had. This was a challenge but the end result came out great. We opted for a more open layout between the master bath and bedroom which gives a very high end hotel like feel and makes both the bedroom and the bath appear large. The freestanding two sided fireplace and frosted frame-less shower glass provide just enough privacy between the spaces. Odenwald Construction

Step 1: Out with the Old: The most costly and time-consuming part of a bathroom renovation is relocating plumbing and electrical fixtures. The demo involved can leave the space unusable for weeks, with walls that need repair and tiles that need replacing. So I decided to leave the existing bathroom layout in place but replace the sink and tub fixtures. After some careful measuring to make sure everything would fit, I ordered a new sink and faucet to replace the existing boxy cabinet and dated fixture. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez
