In the great tradition of Popular Mechanics, here are ideas for makeovers you can actually use, afford, and do yourself. Unlike some books on remodelling the bathroom, this real-world guide steers clear of wildly expensive options that demand a costly contractor to implement. Instead, eye-catching, sensible suggestions explain how to get rid of the dingy old vanity, redo that terrible lighting, and lose the stained, worn linoleum. Get down to the nitty-gritty with instructions for replacing cabinets, laying down sheet flooring, re-laminating or tilling countertops and backsplashes, and putting in a new sink or taps. Follow one of the three marvellous bathroom transformations, or creatively mix elements from them all. From choosing colour schemes to buying materials, selecting tools to budgeting time, every valuable page shows how to upgrade a bathroom.
