@@NatalieBennett Thank you so much! I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your new bathroom!

[@senselessrose]

It looks so much better than it did before. Even just painting the walls made a huge difference. Also love the long video!

[@MrsL1211]

Wow, it looks beautiful. I love your positive attitude and the way you both deal any unexpected issues. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen next 😊👍

[@kmartaus]

I agree and I loved the long video, bring on more 😍🙏

[@thewadsquad]

Oh my gosh NATALIE!!!! what a journey man. You guys had so much to deal with and you totally rocked it. It looks absolutely amazing!! I'm with you- favorite room in the house. lol You did such an amazing job picking out the pieces. wow. It is magazine-worthy! So pretty!

[@NatalieBennett]

Thank you, my friend! I’m glad you love it! ♥️

[@judyfenske1429]

Those of us who have a partner who is a handy person, are lucky. And if you are one, too, great. Your wording of, "for me", is perfect in explaining that we can do organizing our way, which is similar to yours. Thanks for showing Weston actually doing his work, not just the finished product.

[@MommaFromScratch]

The dark cabinets looks way better!! So glad you live it

[@dianeosullivan4445]

Beautiful renovation! You can also paint the heating vent blue to blend into the cabinets

[@ukomdesign]

Tip for patching holes from the hardware: take round bamboo stick from a sushi restaurant. It is perfect size and you glue it in the hole, cut it to size. You are ready to drill a new hole even if it is close enough to touch old one. Fibers of bamboo are so dense that they don't fall apart. It is good for replacing room door hinges also.

[@NatalieBennett]

Wow! Such a great suggestion!

[@emmaferrin6815]

Great idea! I've also just used wooden toothpicks and you put some wood glue on them and stuff as many as you can in the hole. Once the glue dries, you snap off the ends sticking out. Little more of a janky approach, but it works and it's been a lifesaver in many instances in diy home stuff.

[@ukomdesign]

@@emmaferrin6815 Yes. They are made of bamboo too. It is good when you don't see them. If you have to close a hole where you will still see it then you use a stick.

[@stinetea]

The bathroom looks so nice! The painting from the thrift shop is of Venice and the Rialto Bridge btw, I just went there last October :) (in case you were wondering and nobody commented this yet)

[@sheralbee]

I really really appreciate your commitment to use what you have first! Not only is it financially responsible, but it's much less wasteful which means the world to me! I wish more people on youtube maintained this mindset.

[@shirleyjjohnston5469]

I just love the results. I was hoping you would paint the walls cuz you would end up with a clean slate and not the previous owners paint. You said they were 25 years of paint. I did this, sort of, to two bathrooms including hanging wall paper top to bottom. I cried a few days .🙁 But I finished it after stepping away for a few days. Would I do it again? NO!!!! But I love the rooms. You and your hubby really did a great job. Congradulation! 🚽🛁🪣🪜🔩

[@donnamullins2089]

Think about the word refreshed. You have refreshed your master bath. Beautiful job.

[@lwilso9152]

It’s amazing how a fresh coat of white paint will make a small space look bigger, brighter, and even cleaner

[@wendyhowell4119]

​I love the "modern contemporary" look in a bathroom. I think sometimes we feel like if the home is rural, or on acreage somehow it has to look farm-y" 😀Great Job!

[@creilly3728]

Absolutely love the bathroom makeover. It turned out beautiful and not overdone. I wasn’t sure about the cool blue paint color on the cabinets because the Formica is a warm color, but the warm color of the hardware brought it together perfectly. It was so much fun to see this, thanks for sharing this video.

[@katyrichardson9046]

It’s amazing, when you change stuff in your house, how many things you can find that were previously done incorrectly. We just replaced our stove and microwave, and were told it was a miracle our house didn’t burn down, because of how the old ones were installed!

[@DawnSuCallahan]

What a transformation with a budget 👏. Just beautiful 😍

[@Sh4d0w5tr1k3]

The improvements look fantastic!

[@nadinemay1822]

I really want dark blue cabinets now 😍 It's beautiful!!

[@keylalipo7778]

Love how open and clean it is now. Love the colors and simplicity of it. Just lovely. Good job guys :)

[@arianamejia1289]

Luv it❤! 2 tips paint your vanity vent and bead board the same blue for a more cohesive look

[@lornasheets8447]

The bathroom turned out so great! I love it! Especially the round mirrors and the cabinet color! 😍 For the shower curtain, you could get a clear liner to put behind the curtain so you don’t have to pull the curtain in and out of the shower!

[@braymax]

I love the dark blue cabinets! This was great inspiration for me, I started to do this to my bathroom last year and stopped mid-project because it was looking worse and I was upset with myself. I also took the old shower doors down and love it but the vanity was an epic fail. I am also dealing with an old blue tub and toilet that are original to the house, super hard to decorate around. I'm going to start over and hope my 2nd try goes better since I no longer trust Pinterest tips.

[@karlapaonessa3263]

Love what you've done! Not my taste, but what an improvment. It's fun to see how the little things add up. Love the white walls and the little pieces of decor that bring it all together. Someone else can correct me, but I would think carefully about the freestanding tub. I know HGTV says they "save space" but we are building a new construction and the only space it saved was the "box" around it which is a few inches. And no one really talks about whether they are a pain to clean around. I would think they would be, especially in a corner like that. There are lots of ways to modernize the box around your tub without going to free standing route. It's not like you are ever going to have space to walk around that free standing tub.

[@marilynbrown2297]

Your bathroom looks great!!! Something else you sould do is to change out your faucets on your sinks and that would make it look even better Natalie. They dont vost that much more and would make a huge difference in there do it on the same finish thats on your knobs and pulls onn your cabinets or do it in matte black like in your accessories!! That makes a huge difference in your bathroom. Just a thought to consider 😃😃

[@pamschonfarber1041]

It really came out very nice. Sometimes simple is better.

[@hi.imtosha]

I want to revamp my kids bathroom and mine. So many projects I would love to tackle. Your videos are so inspirational with the simplicity and how you reuse items. I love these videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@jdewitt2531]

Depending on your timeline and budget for replacing the counters, you may be able to get them reglazed to white. Maybe the formica cant getglazed but the tile edging could. My parents had a tile tub reglazed and it turned out great and was very cost effective.

[@hwiekamp]

Oh Natalie looks so good!! I’m in the planning process of updating our master bath on a small budget too. You’ve given me some great ideas ❤️

[@darleneweller7495]

Molding would fix the bead board issue. Looks beautiful! Good job!

[@nicolechew1029]

Our last house had SO MUCH WALLPAPER. I couldn't have done it without my scorer and steamer. The scorer creates little holes in the wallpaper, and the steamer loosened the glue and you can scrape it right off. It still took forever but so satisfying!! Great job!

[@mjs.2000]

The cabinet color is stunning. Great choice

[@christinebrissette5511]

Your videos are my favorite way to spend my daughter’s nap time. Sometimes I get up and work with you and sometimes I sit with a cup of tea and soak in the motivation.

[@traille4901]

Oh my gosh! Beautiful job!! You chose so well - and on a limited budget - love it! 👍👍

[@kelseyv527]

I too am in the middle of an en-suite bathroom renovation. We are making it as Victorian as possible including an old claw foot tub we’re refinishing ourselves. Three months later and we’re almost there, floor tiled, shower tiled, wainscoting put on and painted, just a few fixtures and wall paint to go, and the most important thing the tub! We did add a shower door. I wanted to add that they do make some really streamline shower doors these days if you ever decide to add one on again. I prefer the glass as it opens the room and displays the tile! Your bathroom turned out beautiful, and I’m almost envious of your corner tub, as it looks like a nice place to hang out! Great job Natalie! I’ve been following you during my ( actual) minimalist journey, although it’s hard with home renovations. It makes you feel like clutter adds rather than disappearing!

[@bethhoppes6388]

We built our home in 1999 and we had the oak cabinets and had put up boarder in a couple of rooms. Even wallpaper in one room. We have been updating and renovating our home a bit at a time. I told my husband to never let me put wallpaper up ever again, lol. We also had the same light fixtures in the bathrooms. They have been replaced. Styles are ever changing. Painting cabinets is a great way to save money, that is for sure. Doing it yourself helps you appreciate the outcome. Great job! It looks great!

[@staceymcclellan5332]

It looks really good. I removed one of those frosted shower in closures to. It should be ok as long as you use a shower liner the plastic kind it saves your curtain and keeps the water in your shower stall

[@shelby6275]

I will say, those "outdated" bathtubs are soooooo much easier to clean. I love them

[@raehwolf7588]

Looks great! You should paint the bead board the same color as the cabinets.. would make it look built in. ❤️

[@southernkudzu9107]

How blessed you are to have such a talented and hard working Weston! Let the man have his high mirror😄

[@tarat26]

You are super lucky you have Weston who can do all those jobs. We had to get an electrician and plumber which took way more money than we had. Looks 😍😍

[@tashainjena]

I would love to see how you store/organize your renovation/power/diy tools.

[@mariannamiller738]

That blue color is gorgeous!!

[@MippyBee]

I'm totally re-inspired to update our bathroom. I was holding back since I didn't feel like we could replace countertops but this makes me feel more inspired!

[@cheriwhitley8385]

A small bathroom looks like it would be such a easy makeover..I remember saying that when I decided to paint one of our bathrooms and cabinets..it took me longer than doing a large room..the after looks great!! I love the colors u chose..

[@plot10homestead58]

Love the bathroom transformation! The dark blue is gorgeous and removing those doors on the shower made a huge difference....well done!

[@NatalieBennett]

Thank you!

[@cecilhudson1583]

Our house had a ton of wallpaper. We bought a steamer from lowes and it helped tremendously! Always enjoy watching home projects!

[@julesr2865]

Can you tell me what steamer you bought? Both our bathrooms and kitchen have wallpaper that needs to come down! Thanks! J

[@cecilhudson1583]

@Jules R I honestly don't remember the brand name....I know it was yellow and black. It had various attachments you could use to clean with as well. We kept it for several years and it served us well and then it went to goodwill.

[@melissataylor5187]

Love it. You give me hope to remove the tracks from our showers. We took the doors of four tub shower unit years ago and put up a curtain. I didn't know you could successfully remove those awful tracks! Thanks friend:)

[@labbrockington7854]

Love the colors in the bathroom, nice job. God bless you and your family.

[@lilangelfarm174]

Hello Natalie I just found your channel. I watched a couple chatty videos as well after this one and I just want you to know it warms my heart to see another Christian live with grace. My husband and I bought our 12 acre farm this last year and are renovating it and starting our homestead. We are LOVING the slower pace of life and being close to family (we used to live 3 hours away). After moving last year we were able to live with my parents for 6 months (after having lived in various states and countries for the last 18 years) while our house contract was going through. Then on January 3 my dad passed unexpectedly and we got to fully see Gods plan in having us close. We got to be there with my mom and help her daily. God was definitely leading us even though we didn’t know why. Although we rushed to get the main part of the house livable for our family we are taking our time like you are to do other projects both inside and out and we are enjoying the process. God bless you on y’all’s journey. I look forward to seeing more

[@cristinababaris1888]

We did a very similar renovation in our bathroom as well - same kind of mirrors but rectangle, and we also removed our shower doors and replaced with curtains with absolutely NO regrets. Adios yucky door. We mounted the curtain very high and it looks so luxurious while costing basically nothing!

[@marjorielowder1748]

Cool picture of Venice! Nice find. Your hard work really paid off - it looks terrific!!

[@ginaclary8737]

It’s beautiful!! I had to Reno my bathroom thankful for my sons who did it all . My light switch is quite high on the wall due to my son being 6 foot 5 inches tall LOL. But it makes me smile every time I use it. I’m only 5 ft 5 in!!

[@laurenamaral6964]

Very nice! I love that you didn't do anything drastic yet you still made it into such a beautiful room! That's honestly the type of renos that are the best because we're not all rich homeowners on an HGTV show

[@annagm27]

The updated bathroom looks amazing! 💗 One thing I might do if it were me, is paint the vent on the vanity the same color ☺️

[@maryalexander1019]

Wow! You did a great job. Your bathroom looks beautiful. Well done👏💕

[@alisoni7]

We bought a 1970s fixer upper. Foil wallpaper is the worst. We had to patch a ton of holes after taking 3 walls of it off. It's crazy how many shortcuts builders take... I'm excited for more projects!

[@katieking7438]

I think you guys are doing a phenomenal job with your DIYs! There's something so satisfying when you can do it yourself and it's done well!

[@amberhufman]

I love the color you painted the cabinets!

[@TallMChannel]

I love it, so pretty!!! The only thing I would change is to spraypaint the fent thing on your vanity in a matte black. It would be less visible. You two did such a great job.

[@abbylibby8495]

My husband and I (age 22/27) bought our first home (little townhouse) at the same time you bought yours, and it's been so fun watching you take and conquer and possess your new territory while I've been on that journey with mine. For me it's been deep cleaning a house that wasn't properly cleaned in a couple decades and figuring out by trial and error what things want to live where!

[@_ashleylh]

I have a corner tub situation just like yours. I didn't know what to do it. It won't be tomorrow that I will be replaced with a free standing tub, but that's the eventual plan. Also my house was built in 2012 and has that tub situation from the early 2000s. Hmmm. To each other their own I suppose! The bead board is definitely a splash of inspiration. Thanks!

[@gigss3439]

Great face lift! You can paint the white heat vent on your vanity base the same dark cabinet color as well to blend in. Looking forward to your kitchen renovation!

[@DD-mn9jh]

I removed a wallpaper border at my parents’ previous home with a steam attachment on a steam mop. It was amazing.

[@pauladixon5663]

Absolutely beautiful! Hearing you say don’t worry about trends and make your house for you and your family is refreshing, not everything has to be Pinterest worthy to love beautiful and perfect for families needs. Thank you!

[@dorothymitton7602]

The hardware is perfect colour.

[@jennylhenry78]

33:56 I do like the in hardware color against the blue! But I would have spray painted them matte black to go with the mirror frames and the toilet paper holder etc.

[@JG-fx1xm]

Suggestion: Prime and paint that vent cover on the front of your vanity the same color as your vanity or buy a black one to replace the white one.

[@mmoto22]

Natalie, the facelift looks fantastic. I'm inspired by what you've created while repurposing things you already had. How do you keep your white linens white? I've had to move away from white towels and bed linens as they get grungy so quickly. Thanks for any tips you might have on that.

[@lorikorstanje2964]

Wonderful and under budget so impressive way to go

[@donnawiseman9311]

It's absolutely beautiful! It doesn't look like the same room. I love your accents, the paint color --everything!

[@kateehagan6481]

So excited to see what all is to come in this series! I love how mindful you are of repurposing used stuff, Natalie! #premierefam #housetohome

[@nataliekirby8959]

Bathroom looks wonderful !! We took the shower doors off at our old house and hung a curtain it was my favorite thing we did. My husband is also a lot taller than I am so it made it work so much better for us both.

[@KotopumpuS]

Sooo exited for more episodes of this series. Bathroom looks fantastic, completely new modern look

[@dianadunne-brown9356]

I loved this video! This kind of project is more relatable for most people. I think a kitchen renovation would be SO AWESOME, but that kind of project comes with such a big price tag that it's cost prohibitive for most of us. I'm doing my online research to get ready for a bathroom re-do. I love that blue color on the vanities! I thought I needed a new vanity, but decided a paint job with a new sink and faucet will be just fine instead. The saved money on just painting the existing vanity will cover the cost for a re-do in my husband's bathroom as well! What a great surprise! He's not too thrilled, but that's OK. I think I can manage by myself. Great job! Your bathroom looks just BEAUTIFUL!

[@lhumpy190]

Looks lovely. You work together really well. Thanks for sharing.

[@joa8895]

I love what you did with the shower so simple but made a huge difference 🚿 looking forward to all of your home reno videos x

[@norafi647]

The black and white painting is one of the Rialto bridge in Venice 🙃 Love the makeover - it's so beautiful ❤️

[@YiskahBatYerushalayim]

🙂 Your bathroom is gorgeous 🙂 You are a real inspiration Nathalie! Your videos inspire me! Thank you for your wonderful job xxx

[@marybaker9401]

Love the transformation!! Great job!! Thanks for sharing! Love you guys and your channel! Be blessed!

[@wallflower5182]

For new paint projects in the house, I also enjoy using house paint already purchased, and in use in other rooms. That way if I want to pull any decor from one room into another, it already works color-wise. In a bedroom and bathroom, I took the 2 main colors and 2 accent colors I used in the rest of my home and rotated where they went as far as wall and ceiling, and it turned out great. Walking from one room to another transitions seamlessly. All your hard work paid off! Beautiful!

[@monajohannaeinberg6803]

I really admire how you manage all the power tools so well by yourself - i have watched all your old videos too and mentioned this to my man that i leave all this kind of work for him to do and how there are greater women in the world.

[@NatalieBennett]

Haha not greater just experienced! It gets easier and less scary the more you do it!

[@jennifermorley6487]

The bathroom refresh looks amazing! You guys did such an incredible job. Thank you for taking the time to show us what some elbow grease, shopping your home, and working with a budget can do for you. As someone who does not have the money for a full out remodel, I love seeing that we can still refresh our space and make it our own without breaking the bank. Enjoy your new space!

[@dorothymitton7602]

You can buy paint to put on the tile on the tub it works great.

[@gailbradford305]

Love love a shower curtain. So easy to take down and toss in washer instead of scrubbing the shower door which I hate.

[@genevievest-pierre9683]

Wow! That's so beautiful! Love it!

[@jennyhullinger34]

Your bathroom looks so pretty very good job you and your husband did

[@denisecarter5117]

Yes it is beautiful. The best touch was the bead board and taking away the glass shower doors.

[@haybatcrawbuck9484]

Wow, it looks amazing love how you reused and found new ways to use old things

[@sophielafleche3803]

Fusion paint is another good choice for furniture - It has amazing coverage and it's eco-friendly and home safe for the kiddos.

[@sophielafleche3803]

Also the beige tile around tub, shower and vanity - you can use fusion paint on those too!

[@joanharris8057]

I like having a shower curtain much better than having shower doors and tracts which are hard to clean. The bathroom looks updated, fresh, and clean. Great job! Wonderful that Weston can do the electrical for lights, hang the towel bars, etc. So interesting to see you update the house to make it your own style and functional for your family.

[@tracygolwitzer9978]

I saved this video. I have walls of wallpaper to remove...ugh. Not even starting mine till I have the funds for the oopsies...but I'm going through the same issues. Thank you for your diy videos. They are helping me through the tedious updates.

[@tinamoore6352]

Your bathroom looks amazing! I can’t believe you did all of that for under $400. I’m looking forward to the kitchen Reno✅

[@karendominguez2747]

It is so beautiful, you guys did a fabulous job. I love everything about it. Your hubby is the best he did such a wonderful job.

[@kerstinpeters7831]

Just dropping a note to say I appreciate your vocabulary and your annunciation! 🤓 love the bathroom update!

[@rowboat8343]

Love the blue and the look of the hardware you repurposed. Just perfect. Also those lights! Wow! I want them in our living room for evening quiet down time!

[@elizabeth277]

This feels like our house. Every project is a fun adventure. Looks great!

[@chelseastjohn8096]

Your bathroom renovation turned out beautifully. Awesome transformation without having to break the bank. I'm the same way in that it's better to use what you have instead of buying new all the time. I enjoy thrifting as well. I look forward to watching more of your videos. It's nice to find a KZbin personality who puts faith and family first and you can tell is down to earth in their videos. Keep up the good work.

[@jlynnie94]

I’m so glad to see that the shower curtain works! I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing in our bathroom because those old sliding shower doors are a nightmare to clean. I LOVE how this bathroom turned out. I’m feeling so inspired to tackle some projects now! ❤️

[@jillsarah7356]

love the new life this gave the tile

[@mimikels9443]

It was nice before and I'm sure the previous owners enjoyed it but there is nothing like making it your own. The white walls brightened the whole room and the dark cabinets, gorgeous! I found some black matte bathroom faucets on Amazon for a decent price.. I think I got them for $40 each. I know you probably have already looked but had to throw that in there. The faucet pivots from side to side.. never had any like them and now can't imagine not having them. This was a lovely re-do. Enjoy!!!

[@ThisisHomeVlogs]

I love this video so much! The bathroom turned out amazing! We are going to be doing our bathroom this spring as well and I’m doing it on a budget as well! I got all of the new tile for the floor for 90% off at Lowe’s and I got a new vanity because we HATE the one that is currently in our bathroom for $200 off and I bought our mirror at target last year for 75% off! I love doing home improvement things on a budget as well! It’s a fun challenge!

[@NatalieBennett]

Love it! Almost everything we got for this was discounted or 2nd hand! It’s always possible to do things on cheap!
