Bathroom Reno #1: $3,000 Goes A Long Way
This brownstone bathroom renovation seemed like a good one to kick things off. While we don’t have a “before” photo (it was “gross,” we’re told), we were impressed that the owner of the house did the entire job for $3,000.

This brownstone bathroom renovation seemed like a good one to kick things off. While we don’t have a “before” photo (it was “gross,” we’re told), we were impressed that the owner of the house did the entire job for $3,000. He got the acrylic clawfoot tub off the Internet, the tiles and fixtures from Home Depot and the curtains were $30 from Pearl River Mart; and handyman installed the tiles. The real secret though?” It did not hurt that the room is huge and has beautiful light,” he says. “The armchair is so you can hang out with your kids while they take their bath.” Send photos of your bathroom renovation to brownstoner@brownstoner.com.
Let’s Try This Bathroom Thing Again [Brownstoner]
Interesting…the shelf around the room was what I like about it.
I love it! Neat freaks would just need to add a little storage–that is not a big deal.
It needs to be de-cluttered. Stuff on the shelf going around the room and on the floor distracts. Otherwise it’s a nice job for 3K.
I can kinda understand saying you think it’s awful or unfinished or not designed or whatever the hell you are saying if someone spent 30K on it.
Not for 3K.
Lord…some of you spend that much on a shower curtain.
I like it a lot. I prefer it to a “designed” bathroom; there’s something very cool about a clawfoot without a shower curtain. It’s a nice, simple aesthetic.
We gut renovated a bathroon (kept the tub) for about $10k, incuding Memoirs sink/toilet and some fancy chrome fittings. The price of this job is in line with that. We did need some plumbing and electrical work and the walls were in really bad shape.
I’ve got to agree with 1:29 with all the bottles sitting out on the ledge the room looks quite messy and unfinished. The large metro shelf, bamboo shade and outdoor chair aren’t lending much finish or polish to the space either. The natural light is beautiful and I’m sure the room is functional (except for the showerless tub), but it’s not exactly centerfold-worthy in these images.
no 1:32. you are! what’s with the name calling?
it’s an awful bathroom. horrible. really!
there is zero storage. and super cheap materials.
i wouldn’t rent an apartment that had a bathroom like that.
if you disagree, then state your point.
you’re an a-hole, 1:29
this is not nice. cheap looking overall. loathe the tub. will no one ever want to take a shower without getting the whole place wet?
also, how about a medicine cabinet or some other storage. bottles all over the place?
this is like a right out of college nightmare bathroom.
