The Weekender: "Beauty of a Beige Bath" (Season 4, Episode 2)

[@waterliliesbymonet7827]

I absolutely think the owner was happy with the result. She didn't scream for joy but listen to the words she chose to express herself. I have a grown up child who is, what I call, "micro expressive", so I totally see this lady being so impressed and delighted. Good job, Monica and Jason!

[@yaelsmileysimckes2662]

Love it!

[@lsamoa]

She's not "micro expressive", she's just reacting like a normal human. All those other people screaming at the reveal feel like they're just doing an act, like they think they're supposed to scream. Noone reacts that way IRL.

[@melindahayes3728]

That wall paper is gorgeous! I love how it was the starting point for everything and how it tied everything together so well.

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

Love the vanity and the medicine cabinet mirrors. This is my most favorite transformation.

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Amazing what can be done in just one weekend but you need to remember one thing and this is tools and how many people working on the project in this weekend ... if you are just one , it will take you more than just one weekend even if it just a simple build. here they have all the tools and everything they need in order to complete it on time.... anyway I love the weekender and it inspire me everytime....

[@jcastro953]

I wish you would also cover the cost of doing these projects. While an exact pricing would be awesome, I wouldn't mind a ballpark number either.

[@heavylead1961]

ballpark in material, not including labor is around 1500.00... most expensive thing was the wall paper.

[@tpamel]

Jesse Castro mind you, the show is sponsored/subsidized. Estimates would be underpriced

[@nataliajohnson6631]

My guess is about $2500 (labor not included) $1200 sink $200 faucets $200 beadboard $100 paint $200-400 medicine cabinets with mirrors $250 nails, glue, brushes, pluming material, drywall, screws, electrical stuff, etc $200-500 decor, rugs, hooks, new towels $120 new light fixtures +labor (on the lower end) $500 sink install+pluming $150 drywall repair $150 paint labor $350 beadboard install, including baseboards and trims $50-$100 per light fixture install $75-$100 per hour any other electrical work $150 other details ( mirrors and hardware install)

[@YashaClone]

This is the most accurate estimation i have seen, the double sink vanity runs about 1600$ on average.

[@lisabrindley9639]

[@bast713]

I love everything about this bathroom. And when I saw how the bath caddy was being put together I literally pulled out my tools and started looking through to see if I had a piece of nice wood wide enough to do that. I am making one of those next weekend 😯

[@minikorsi]

I agree: the wallpaper ties everything together. Great job!

[@nonameidonotwantmynametodi5804]

Beautiful Wisconsin and elaborate Damask wall paper- love love love!

[@sarahdamasing6908]

Watching you tear off each piece, and put it back together in a way that everything becomes so harmonious, is just amazing. I really love watching your videos. Love and respect from the Philippines ❤️

[@malcolmjones893]

Just saw this episode and I’m amazed at how much personality you brought into this space - the wallpaper was a game changer!

[@christinajambrisak8884]

OMG! I couldn’t agree more about that cookie cutter contractor new build look! It is such a consistent look that has no personality in regards to decor. This bathroom makeover is gorgeous! I love the antique sheek design of the wallpaper and wainscoting. It is so elegant! The color scheme is absolutely manageable in this large of a space. Bravo! 👏🏽

[@alexalessllc.7745]

We bought a house with an all beige bath. I had to go looking for this episode! You did such an amazing job on this! The bathroom currently has wall paper that is not bad but it reminds me of the newer Uhaul building paint scheme. No one should refer to their master bath as the Uhaul bath. Thank you for some fantastic color inspiration!

[@hannahjoyed]

Okay so I found this series from 8 Passengers and since then I have watched every. single. episode. I about leaped out of my seat when I saw a new one was uploaded! I seriously LOVE the Weekender. I’ve told pretty much everyone I know about how great it is in the last week 😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼

Very clever using the wallpaper to make those old tiles work with the updates.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

You truly made a brilliant choice on how to update this bathroom without spending money for all new fixtures. Well done!

[@rosedewittbukater5763]

I think this is my favorite Weekender episode. I also have a bathroom that is pretty, but not my style. This is absolutely gorgeous!

[@peggyhiggins6923]

Amazing transformation! I love the toile? wallpaper. It makes the entire room shine. Colors are beautiful. Lucky lady!

[@sabrinagonzalez7419]

Monica you did an amazing job! Bathroom looks gorgeous! I love everything you guys did! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.👍👏💖💖💖💖

[@CeeCeeCrafts]

The wallpaper is beautiful until you have to take it down. No matter how pretty, just don’t go there. This is from someone who used to wallpaper everything. Now I run screaming away. 😁

[@hoot2416]

I worked in a hardware store and I remember a lot of handymen we would recommend to people really didn't want to take the job when customers were looking for someone to do the work. 😂😂😂

If you wall is prepared properly the wallpaper will come down effortlessly. Owner of 14 different homes thru the years!

[@diannedhaver4358]

I used to always think wallpaper old fashioned.. But I kinda really love this pattern and it totally goes with the panels

[@dianecottrell7165]

I love this sooooo much!!! I love those circle medicine cabinet mirrors!! Love that wallpaper as well!! I would eventually change the flooring tho and that beige tile in the shower and tub area. I think that make over would just look soooo fab with white subway tile, with grey grout!!! Love it!!

[@EastCoastCreative]

Agreed! We'd just need a few more weekends for those projects. lol!

[@juneweeks3539]

Was wondering if you can paint that tile? Or whitewash it? Cause the yellow tones takes away from the end result.

[@gloriaredmon-booth6572]

I have been binge watching this series since I found it

[@barblivoli9889]

LOVE the wallpaper. It was the perfect mix of color and design to pull the room together!

[@renaewilliams7613]

THIS WAS AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!!!. IT GAVE ME A GREAT IDEA TO DO FOR MY RESTROOMS.THEIR SMALL AND I NEED MAKEOVERS ON BOTH. YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB...

[@gordondemouth9454]

Very clever way to cover up so much of the cream tile with the wainscotting. I wasn't sure about the color either but the wall paper tied it all together. This should be an HGTV show for sure. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.

[@mulliganstew72]

I think they demoed the tiles! No?

[@gordondemouth9454]

@@mulliganstew72 no, they only demoed the top band of tiles because some of that tile stuck out from the wall and she needed a flat surface. They filled that in with drywall before applying the wainscoting. You can see the beige tile still intact and being covered in the video.

[@ariyasagar]

The vanity mirror and the wallpaper makes a huge difference. I also like the cross hook where the towel was hung. So perfect. And the vase to with round leaves. So beautiful 😍

[@ydgidrey]

I am so happy the weekender is back. Great job, Monica! Love the vanity, wainscoting, mirrors and I can't believe I'm saying this the wallpaper also. Swore I would never use wallpaper in a bathroom again. Fantastic job!

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks! And wallpaper has changed so much! I've become a big fan of it!

[@christinewilliams7005]

OMG - what a transformation! I love the way it turned out.

The New transformed bathroom looks so beautiful !!! i love it.!!

[@ajb7530]

I love the bath style. Its elegant, and fancy without over doing it. Too much of one colour is not always the best, but some mixture is great. Great job Monica and Jason and the homeowner.

[@mammalion4316]

FINALLY! The cabinet is not Destroyed, it's REPURPOSED!

[@breathnstop]

Mind blown. Love the whole thing. Wall paper is gorgeous

[@bedinabebe4521]

That vanity is everything! I love that its raised off the floor & has shelves & especially the cubby drawers. I fantasize about double sinks with 2 mirrors & you did that with 2 cabinets! Also love the wallpaper, rug, shelf & hooks!😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Wow, incredible change. So much for the better. Lucky lady! Great job Monica!

[@fredishaffer1636]

Converting a van box truck 🚚 to a tiny home on wheels. Love your ideas and styles...now I just need to make sure furniture, wall build outs, fixtures are all durable to take "on the road".

[@SABOREAME68]

Unquestionably, nice job Monica, I'm in-love with the wainscoting. With that said, I'm tackling a project with wainscoting, utilizing it for my ceiling instead of getting rid of the popcorn ceiling the conventional way I'll cover it with the wainscoting; this way I don't have to deal with the awful mess of the popcorn when it's removed. Monica you have inspired me once again great job as usual...Abrazos y OLE~

[@jenniferbassett3001]

I too love the wainscoting, the new vanity and the wallpaper, especially the design of the wallpaper!! Fabulous job Monica 👍

[@lilMissAdoria]

I didn't hate the before, and as a renter don't hate it is a good thing lol, I've rented in some pretty awfully coloured homes, people don't paint their rentals in neutral colours very often anymore. 😣 However I really love how the end result brought the cream she hated to a level she could live with without changing all the tiles, it was a really smart way to update it! I like the end result, and I think the homeowner did too, and that's what matters. Great job Monica!

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks Doriana! And yes, rental decor is definitely a different ballgame. Cara owned this house, so we could go a little hog wild! :)

[@geministargazer9830]

It was a great bathroom for practicality. Easy to clean. Not falling apart. That colour palette though. Boring af.

[@marynaples9142]

I thought it was funny that the homeowner hated the beige, but she was the one who painted the walls beige. 🤷‍♀️

[@AB.a.3194]

I love the mirror medicine cabinets- Nice, stylish solution

[@angelakeirsey278]

I don’t know if she used a vinyl paper but they make wallpaper now that is removable with one pull. I totally used to wallpaper everything in the day and spent weeks removing it. I told myself never again until they came out with this new stuff. Game changer!

[@mishelllarmond4078]

I really like this finished project. The homeowner didn't act very happy or greatful, but I wonder if this is just her personality. I am sure she likes it though, because Monica have them put together a pintress page to get an idea of what the homeowner would like that's how she "gets into their heads". Honestly, marked improvements 👍👍. Keep it coming Monica and Lowe's

[@susuilu]

What is she supposed to do to come across "happy"

[@mishellekochel4510]

Would love to have you come to my home...weekender project of your choice! Bathroom looks amazing. LOVE the wallpaper.

[@klcrist]

I have a very 80's beige builder grade bathroom, and I think the transformation is amazing and turned out beautifully! This is the kind of renovation I could see myself tackling. I love, love, love the wallpaper - but would be a little apprehensive about putting wallpaper in a bathroom again (my bathroom currently has wallpaper) as the seams tend to curl and come away from the wall due to the moisture level. I also love the square under mount sinks, oval mirrors and the black vanity!

[@jordandrexler9559]

yeah maybe they could've done the exact same pattern and aged look with paint and a stencil and completely avoid the wallpaper. That would be cool. But maybe wallpaper adhesive/wallpaper has gotten better and less susceptible to humidity? I've heard people say that it has, so who knows lol

[@kamleshkumari8759]

Yes

[@dmtn198]

That is an amazing transformation in such a short space of time!

[@tinasikl9407]

Beautiful! ! Vintage clean...LOOK! LOVE IT!!

[@jeffpagan7735]

They took tile which is cleanable in a bathroom and replaced it with a cheaper material that's harder to clean and wouldn't do as well in humidity.

[@geministargazer9830]

Jeff Pagan yeah, but it does look a lot nicer.

[@alexisjankowski3281]

Sometimes fashion isn’t practical. Sometimes an upgrade on a budget gives a better frame of mind.

[@MP-nj1qy]

I agree with the humidity issue she might have. A wood panel near the bathtub, seriously! I like the previous look better.

[@KrafteeNana]

They make waterproof wainscoting. I have it my kitchen, it's great. Also paintable.

[@GravityGamerXCII]

You can always coat the wood with a great sealer. If water lands on it, it wont penetrate the wood youll only see little bubbles of water on top of the wood.

[@ketchupy3824]

I love this makeover - all that cream tile had a yellowish cast to it that I hated. Now, everything makes sense & the whole room looks fab!

[@chaodersoup]

Oooooh this is definitely my style! I love the old and new vibe. Looks antique and vintage but not too outdated. I liked the before, but much preferred the after!

Great work...transformation almost complete...why not change the bath taps to match those of the hand basins ? Love the colour love the paper...lots of nice touches !! Mirrors in particular smart.

[@ope4r540]

Typical builder bathroom with garden tub taking up so much space, and only one hook for one towel. I had to continually drape my towel over the shower door because two towels on one hook would never allow the damp towels to dry. Looking forward to seeing the resolution for this remodel. 😁

I saw this on your intro, and absolutely LOVED it, so happy I found the video. STUNNING THE tile still feels like it fighting the gorgeous wall treatments, couldn't you do a antique dark wax treatment on the tile to calm it down and blend it with the wallpaper? The tile is screaming, too much.

[@nanparker8373]

Would a gel stain tone it down safely?
