Affordable ways to make over a Bathroom

A cheerful and modern bathroom will not only contribute to the overall appearance of your home, but it may also help your home sell.

According to Remodeling magazine, the average price in 2007 for a mid-range bathroom remodel was $14,445. However, Lytel Young, host of HGTV's "Save my Bath," reveals that you can spend far less and still make a world of difference in your bathroom's appearance.

Inexpensive steps to makeover a bathroom include:

•·         Rip out the dated medicine cabinet and replace it with a big mirror.

•·         Replace the lighting with new sconces on both sides of the mirror, plus a new overhead fixture on a dimmer.

•·         Re-caulk the tub and shower.

•·         Repaint with a neutral color, but decorate with big, fluffy, colorful pillows.

•·         Hang some framed art.

These steps will help to greatly improve the appearance of your bathroom without breaking the bank. Click here for more tips and ideas to renovate your bathroom.
