I recently completed a very low cost renovation of a cottage on the property where I live.
For the bathroom, I basically scrubbed it from top to bottom, filled in all the gaps, painted the walls, the bath and the shower surround (which was laminate), and changed the flooring.
I didn't want to spend the money getting a new vanity, so I made a curtain to hide the ugly bits.
I also didn't want to have to buy new taps so I made sure the material I used would work with them.
I just used items that I already had to decorate the bathroom.
The only new thing I purchased was the lettering from Spotlight, and left it unpainted. I am very pleased with the result!! Here are some 'before' and 'after' photos...
