My Bathroom

A bit over a year ago, I bought a tired 60's bungalow that was basically sound structurally, but desperately in need of an update. I'm a widow with very little to splash around, so I did this myself from rebuilding walls around the bath,
taking out a door, waterproofing, tiling, making the roman blind etc. etc, With only $3000 to spend, I decided not to move any plumbing, keeping the layout as it was. I'm really happy with my extreme budget makeover - it's now a pleasure to enter the room. The door I removed had been added some time after the house was built and connected the laundry/pantry which is off the kitchen, to the bathroom......it turned the bathroom into a corridor and reduced the amount of usable wall space in each room. Redundant door had to go! I now have good storage space on both sides. By the way, I only exceeded my budget by $100 or so.

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?
Commentaires (2)Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya... Voir plusHelp with renovation on a small budget
