You may have an opportunity to raise your rental price in the current market, or you may be struggling to retain good quality tenants . Whatever your reason, it's helpful to know which renovations will have the greatest impact. Take a look at your property and ask yourself if any of these five popular renovation projects could improve its appeal. 1.

Our downstairs bathroom before This post contains a review in partnership with Waterpik. W e have quite a few projects to work on in (and outside) this house, but so far bathrooms haven’t really been on our high priority list . The lower level bathroom is the newer of the two and it is actually one I am more excited about updating because it will be the easier and less costly project. It’s nice to have easy projects you can do even just one weekend at a time so you can see improvements without a huge investment of time or money. Today I thought I’d show you the before photos of this bathroom and give you a few thoughts I have for how to update it. Maybe you’ll have some simple ideas, too! I also will share a super easy shower head update we just completed with Waterpik. Our downstairs bathroom before As you can see, the bathroom started out as a pretty basic neutral space  which has provided us a nice starting point. So what could we do to add our own personality? Since it’s the bath...

Thanks to all the readers who uploaded photos of their awesome vintage bathrooms and bathroom tile on our recent story — 171 photos of the vintage and new bathroom tile in reader homes . What a treat it was to get a look into your loos! With 171 photos, it took quite a bit of work to narrow it down to the featured 12. I tried to pick bathrooms with interesting color schemes , unusual and detail oriented tile jobs — it was really impossible, there were so many terrific vintage bathrooms — but here are 12 of my favorite original bathrooms . Above: Jeanne’s vintage grey and black bathroom tile caught my eye because of the classic, high-quality two- tone pinwheel floor tile and the thin black liner tile , set low, that ties in with the black toilet paper holder . Such a great detail! Above: DJS from Brecksville, Ohio has a lovely original Regency Blue bathroom with American Standard Fixtures in their 1961 ranch. The blue wall tile looks smaller than the more common 4 inch squar...

Your bathroom is the first thing you see every day. Bleary-eyed and groggy. And you are tired of it! What can you do? First, come up with between $5,649 and $12,938, which is the low-end cost most homeowners can expect to pay for a moderate bathroom makeover in 2016 or the upcoming year 2017. Then consider the following upgrades many of which can be completed by a handy “Do It Yourself” enthusiast such as yourself! 😉 via GuyCo Homes 1. Flashy Finishes: When it is time to upgrade the industrialized look of your bathroom, a new finish to fixtures will put an exclamation point on any bathroom decor . Chrome is still the shiny finish of choice, but the market leader is being elbowed by brass and copper and nickel and oil-rubbed metals. Depending on your taste, a finish can be shiny or matted, or even textured! The customized finishes can run from $40 for chrome to over $500 for nickel fixtures.

There are a few (i.e. many) spots in my home that are in need of a little love and attention right now.  We are furiously working away at a big bedroom makeover for my daughter(s) and I can’t wait to share more on that soon, but another room that has been bothering me is my kids bathroom.  When we moved into our home 6 years ago , we put up the shower curtain we previous had, a few matching towels and that was it.  A couple of years ago we added white wood paneling to the bathroom which completely changed the look and I just love it!  Then later we changed our shower head, faucet and added other fixtures and a safety bar as well .  We have also added a pretty light to the room  and a  frame over our mirror.  So we have done quite a few things to update the space, but I never loved it and it just became a dumping ground for all my kids stuff.  So this past weekend I decided that I was going to finally tackle the room and so today I am really excited to share my Kids Bathroom Makeove...
