See 2 DIY Bathroom Remodels for $15,500 (16 photos)

Because it was such a small space, Ahearn and Dushan felt comfortable splurging on $30-per-square-foot Ann Sacks tile in wood grain for the flooring. “It stays warm, and you don’t need to sweep all the time,” Ahearn says.

The new sleeker-looking toilet had to be anchored to the floor by drilling through the expensive tiles. “I can’t tell you how slow I worked to drill the holes,” Dushan says.


Ahearn sits on the toilet seat and pulls out a lighted mirror to apply her makeup at the counter ledge. Ikea buckets hold her makeup supplies.


They used maple trim for the window frame to match the new maple cabinets. Ahearn likes to burn candles near the window, so they installed a quartz sill for safety and easier cleanup.


Dushan had to crawl around in the attic during a hot summer to get the one recessed can light in to highlight the piece of artwork. “I probably lost 10 pounds of water weight crawling around up there,” he says.
