Removing those gross stick on mirrors made such a difference! also the corner storage shelves really don’t provide that much storage, do they? love seeing how small changes aimed at functionality/freshening up can make such a big difference in a small space!

[@kiravaughan1426]

You did the lord's work in that bathroom 😂 Glitter grout begone!

[@HermioneChantal]

😂 it HAD to go!!

[@juliagoolia72]

Love it! The only thing I would add is some frosted glass contact paper on the one glass wall in the shower next to the vanity, to disguise the view of the sloppy construction and the under the sink area

[@jeannawalton8107]

Yes, I was wondering too what could be put there to hide that!

[@Andrea_Weird]

Great idea!

[@methodologies_of_care]

those supply items on the receipt would legitimately cost $180 dollars here in Canada, and you'd have like 2 options for each item.

[@marjimcmillan9265]

Maybe do the contact paper around the sink by cutting a template made from paper and transferring that to the back of the contact paper prior to removing the backing paper?

[@joane5777]

Wow, what a total lift on a budget dear Hermione!! I love how cleaning and organizing made the bathroom feel like a spa ❤ I can't wait for you and Hailey to move and get started on some projects, maybe together?? Sending love from the Jersey Shore 🏖 Joan

[@mirrormimi]

I actually said "what the fuuuuck" out loud at the final reveal. It looks FANTASTIC, it was clean before, but now it LOOKS clean and tidy and calming. I've been subbed to your channel for like, 8 years, and now I'm finally moving to my own place, finally A CHANCE TO USE YOUR TIPS AND TUTORIALS AAHHH.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

It looks cleaner and fresher now! Great! Excited for your new appartement. I would have used silicon on the peel-and-stick paper around the edges eg the walls and sink, so it doesn't peel-up to quickly. I would have made a cupboard/shelves/doors under the sink and I would have used the plastic for windows (to stop people looking in) on the inside, lower half of the under-the-sink shower wall so you can't see the messy sink work and whatever is stored under the sink. But I guess as you aren't staying there you didn't want to spend to much.

[@HermioneChantal]

Oooh I love those ideas so much! I definitely would have done more if Hayley was staying longer. The under the sink area from the shower still looked bad 🫠 but I’m glad it was fresher than before! I’ll definitely use that silicone hack on the tiles in future! Thank you

[@Owca2512]

Great makeover! I think it would also look great to add a little silicone on the left side of the sink counter to clean it up. Also maybe you could add a glass sticker from the inside of the shower, to hide the space underneath the sink 😊 as for the shower door rubber thing (I don't know how you call these in English 😂) if you can take it on and off try soaking it up in vinegar or baking soda to lighten the yellow 👍🏻

[@lauranielsen7465]

Looks amazing!!

[@christineg6123]

Love this makeover!!!!

[@Britbabe53]

I've missed these! Can't wait to see what you do in your new home!

[@bridgettebollig2649]

So much brighter and fresher

[@blossomcherry8935]

Yaaayyyyy, new videoooo❤

[@sinejorine]

It looks sooo much better! It really shows you can do alot with little changes!

[@charliesawyers-rees2650]

It looks SO much better without the glitter grouting!

[@cecilianagy3562]

Great job!

[@rachelandersen4211]

I love this!❤

[@ZoeShears]

It looks really good, just shows you can do anything when you put your mind to it.

[@shirleydunn8050]

Loved this video. Inspired me to tackle my grouting .

[@safaa9654]

I missed watching your videos!!

[@lizprice3948]

Well done!!

[@crafterdeidra]

You did a great job in the bathroom. Looked so much better than before. Great makeover. You and Haley look so cute together. ❤

[@moiitsdanielle7138]

I always ❤❤❤ you doing diy and making over houses/rooms! Kudos!

[@moda78z]

Looks nice! ❤👍

[@jackieclark817]

So sweet of you to do this for the next tenant! Cannot wait to see you and Haley's new digs! Hurry up already, Hermione ! ❤

[@rahatazam-hh3mf]

Wonderful!

[@victoriaadams2171]

Nice job!😊

[@madjisan6646]

Love the Toronto representation!

[@kristenevans4557]

Great Job! Contact paper for the win.👍🏻

[@extremesubtlety]

Loved this! Sometimes you only need a little bit of fixing up to change the vibe of a place. It was pretty motivating to see that it didn’t need a lot of budget or anything ❤

[@f.zlarrache1714]

It been a while since the laste room makeover great as always

[@virginiathomasakaicedragon6579]

You did a good job, but my favorite part was the look on your face when you were trying to figure out how to put the contact paper on

[@PeaceLoveDolls]

Will have to try the toilet cleanser hack and the grout pen.

[@thinkingbout]

Glad you decided to end the makeover and share it with us, it definetly look a lot better! That glitter grout looked awful. Before you mentioned that it is glitter grout it just seemed like really dirty grout to me probably because it was missing at some places. So your hard work of removing it and painting the grout lighter made a huge difference! And you definetly made the bathroom feel more peaceful and spa-like. Well done! 😊

[@AliPoole-fb6xk]

FYI, after cleaning tile grout you need to seal it or it will get dirty & discolored in no time.Also skip the Clorox bathroom cleaner and paint pen. Use the cleanser Bar Keepers Friend ( it is fantastic) then seal. The absolute BEST I have found!

[@susanvelez6534]

Oh my goodness I’m 62 and have been using k care since I was 25 love this video

[@Nas_Tee]

This bathroom really just needs to be kept cleaned regularly.

[@Tumee_Mo]

I wanted to say the same. I hate to be this person but that bathroom needs to be deep cleaned, especially the shower. The reno really does look amazing but would have looked even more amazing done after a deep clean.

[@alenkabkk]

Lol literally just said the exact same thing in my comment.... that friend of hers... yuck lol how can you even shower with the shower head looking like that? It takes 10 seconds to change it. I hope her friend will take good care of this new and improved bathroom

[@jeannawalton8107]

That was very good for such a low budget :) Do they have a product like the Pink Stuff or Soft Scrub over there? That might make the sink really shine!

[@Andrea_Weird]

Wow! What a difference! I’m thinking a hydrogen bleach product like Oxiclean or just straight hydrogen peroxide might brighten up the yellowed plastic around the shower door. You’d probably need to go over it several times to make a full improvement, however. Do you plan to recaulk all the seams around the sink area? I think it’d be a great budget-conscious step.

[@racheljones5024]

I laughed out loud with H gagging eating the crisps 🤣 So funny. Bathroom looks so much better. Can’t wait to see your new place 😊

[@jf-s7809]

Looks great considering small changes and on a budget but definitely worth it. Great job!

[@jaalawhyte511]

Love it, but I feel like a lover who have been abandoned. I feel like you've given so much to IG, and disregarded YT 😢😅. Looking forward to your videos. Love from Antigua in the Caribbean.

[@HermioneChantal]

Oh nooo I’m so sorry 🥲🩷 I promise I will be posting more, I’ve been pre filming my move so I had to focus on that instead of editing this month to ensure that I get it all filmed and don’t miss anything! But I am missing KZbin soooo much

[@brendasnow8255]

Cooking oil removes sticky residue from glue.

Okay I am going to talk to myself for a little bit, don’t be alarmed 😂😂😂

[@vickinoeske1154]

Hermione, wow, what a difference! The bathroom looks so much better. Did you do any storage under the sink?

[@HermioneChantal]

Thank you! 🩷 I did put a storage box under the sink and forgot to film it 🥲 ooops!

[@vickinoeske1154]

@@HermioneChantal Gotcha!😄

[@coral__eh]

Big part of the makeover was getting rid of clutter and cleaning actually

[@lisabrennan1683]

I so wish we had a daiso😢

[@dovahclare]

Hey girly! I've been wondering with the rental hacks.. do you ask permission from your landlord first? Or do you just go for it because you know it can be reversed before you leave? And what do you do when it comes to inspection? There are so many little things like this I wanted to be doing in our rented flat, but would feel awkward having to go to the letting agents for permission every time 😅 really want to contact paper our kitchen cabinets!

[@Dana-fn5zt]

we know who’s going to be doing all the cleaning in the relationship….

[@altakhm5654]

Was it ventilation above the mirror and sink?

[@cindydean1840]

❤

[@carolrampasso1813]

Legit question, in Brasil we are used to literalmente wash the bathroom, scrub with soap soaked brooms and stuff. Is it not easier to do that instead of cleaning everything with a cloth?

[@katbar6066]

You did an amazing job considering how crappy the Bathroom looked before you started. It looked so cheap and nasty but you have really elevated it. I have remodeled better looking bathrooms than that so my tenants never had to put up with broken tiles and chunks of grout missing or masses of what looked like mold in the corners.

[@dees3179]

It will always amaze me that landlords permit people to do anything other than just clean, and change light bulbs. When I was renting I wasn’t allowed to do anything. It felt like camping.

[@miyounova]

Aren't landlords in Korea supposed to maintain their investments, by, say fixing a leak in the bathroom??

[@m1sh474]

Won't that cover get nasty with water and mold after awhile?

[@alenkabkk]

You did a great job! It looks amazing, so fresh and clean! Your friend on the other hand is dirty lol you can tell the bathroom hasn't been properly cleaned in weeks and she couldn't even change that shower head herself?! Anyway I hope she paid you for your hard work! And I picked up some tips from your video as well, which is great!

[@chuttsh]

she's not a friend but a girlfriend and there are people who can live a few weeks without deep cleaning a bathroom, nothing wrong with that. as i understood it, the person who made the video said they will change the shower head for the girlfriend and it got delayed for a bit and that's why they didn't change the filter or the shower head before that, it's been planned for a couple of months prior doing it finally.

[@alenkabkk]

@@chuttsh not important friend or a gf.... and the bathroom looked like it hasn't even been maintained well, I'm not even talking deep cleaning.... it's just dirty... and that filter looks like it hasn't been changed in weeks.... way past the time it was supposed to be changed... so yes... dirty.

[@chuttsh]

@@alenkabkk i'm not saying it's very important, just correcting your mistake. yes, like i said, it's mentioned in the video that the filter wasn't changed for about two months past it was due, because the author of the video promised to take care of it but couldn't do it for a few weeks. did you listen to that part?

[@patrickgabrielmendy9337]

Hi

[@mariogrenadine]

I'm sorry, but the beige grout/sealant on the vinyl paper looks horrible. Maybe a transparent sealant would've looked better. Also, it might not be 100% renter friendly. These vinyls harden over time and the only possible way to remove some of them later is to scrape them off bit by bit. Luckily you've stuck it onto a stone surface so here this probably won't be a problem. I can also see a bit of it coming off already. Generally, using a different type of vinyl/ doing some practice in wrapping and a different sealant colour might have helped here. Over all, this bathroom needed cleaning/resealing more than an actual makeover. You've done a good job in that.

[@nancyodonnell5298]

Gorgeous makeover. 🎉 please wear gloves when you use so many chemicals. Your hands will look like hell 10 years from now.
