Remodeling Cost- Bathroom and Miscellaneous

It’s been a long road to this remodel even though I’m not done yet! The worst is yet to come, the kitchen!

Here is a Cost Breakdown so far: 

Salvaged Tile (Garage Sale) – $125.00

• I am only using part of it, the rest given to my nephew to use 

Salvaged Vanity/Sinks/Faucets (Craigslist) – $200.

• I only used the Vanity Base and Sinks- rest donated to Habitat. I paid too much and should have brought down the price- and if I had to do it again, I would have taken an old dresser/bureau made from real wood and remade it into a vanity. Would have been less hassle and the paint would have stuck on the wood. 

Marmoleum Floors- throughout house- except kitchen- $4844

• I have some leftover (about 7 slabs) Was going to do the kitchen, but now I am going with tile in the kitchen. 

Marmoleum Sliders/Transition Molding- $270

• We had to order more due to needing a T-Molding around the tile in front of the Fireplace. It’s about $47.00 for a 96 inch strip 

Moisture Barrier for Flooring- $150

• These come in 100 Sq. Ft Rolls and you have to use a 6mm ply for Marmoleum flooring. I used the type with a foam ply in order to cut down on noise and softness. My handyman also told me he wouldn’t lay the Flooring without it! 

Molding/Baseboard Cost (MDF primed)  – $138

• If you use the Eco Options from Home Depot- count on it being more. 

Eco Adhesive- $18

• Making the Countertop for the Vanity 

Eco Sealer- Green Earth Procreate- $96.00

We needed something to seal the Marmoleum Vanity and this was the only Eco product that we could find locally that might work

Shims for flooring- $5

Safety Glasses- $6.00

Ceiling Fan (Energy Star) Home Depot  – $149.00

Ceiling Fan Holder- $8.00

Toto- Dual Flush Toilet with seat- $363

Vanity Countertop- 

My Handyman suggested we used the leftover Marmoleum and he would make the Vanity Countertop. Approx cost for the whole thing was about $125.00 because I had to buy the plywood, ceramic adhesive, eco sealer, his labor was $100 to make. Had the Marmoleum and the moldings. (See picture below)

 Medicine Cabinets (Lowes) $138.00

• I looked and looked to reclaim or salvage a large medicine cabinets- finally had to break down and buy one. 

Pulls for Vanity (Dixieline) $18

Faucets (2) WaterSense- $100

• Lost my receipt, so approx numbers 

WaterPik Shower head- $50 

Miscellaneous Plumbing Supplies- $68

Eco Caulk- $30.00 

Zero VOC Primer- Bayside Paints $32.00 

Bath Vinyl Molding- $9

Plywood and Drywall- $30

Miscellaneous Fixtures and Supplies  $100

Lighting for Vanity (Lamps Plus) – $170

• This is the only non- Energy Star lighting. 

 Bathtub Re-finishing- $595.00

I would not do this again, or at least not do this with Bath Bright.  Reclaimed Bathtubs are very easy to find, I had the tile, it would have cost me time and a few more dollars
