the most budget-friendly vanity makeover

Come watch this before and after transformation of a bathroom vanity makeover. I had some constraints on this project: 1. no painting of walls; 2. No drywall work. What do you think? How did it turn out?

I learned the hard way why you’re supposed to (according to a plumber) turn off and on your water lines at every faucet once a year to prevent corrosion and sticking. I had to call my brother in law to man handle the valves in order to do a “simple” fixture change. Turned out to be a two day nightmare and I learned I need to expand my curse word vocabulary! Very nice of you to update the bathroom

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha. I feel your pain! Thanks for watching!

[@SouthernRootsWoodshop]

For me, it was the spider fingers on the track, while using the track saw! 👍🏼 Great job Bruce! Making momma proud.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha. Those are imperative!

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Such a cool transformation...never would have guessed it wasn't a complete remodel! I never knew that trick about the can of duster upside down on the hot glue...definitely doing that in the future!

[@BruceAUlrich]

That trick works well. It’s not that hot glue takes very long to dry, but this just accelerates it even more. Thanks, Ethan!

[@byromscustomwoodworks]

That made huge difference. It's always nice to be able to help out family.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Just seeing my mom so happy about it made my day. Not bad for a few days work. Thank you for checking it out!

[@StephenGoggin]

16:30 dang Bruce. Shake what your momma gave you! Great video. The bathroom came out great!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha ha. If you got it, flaunt it.

[@DM-pv3yl]

Great job!! it was nice watching the whole family work together to do an upgrade in your parents home

[@BruceAUlrich]

Appreciate that! We enjoyed doing the project together

[@zavoina]

I had to chuckle when you and your sister(?) were helping your dad at the vanity, working on the board with the light fixtures. I know you're tall but you and she are on ladders and bent over for the height while your dad stands on the vanity, fully upright. Good work and if momma's happy, you should be too.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha. That’s my wife. Yeah, we were having a bit of fun there. And yes, momma is happy!

[@jere5555]

Such an improvement to no longer have to time travel to brush your teeth! It looks 21st century great.👍🏼👍🏼

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha. Yep! No more 90’s lights. Thanks for watching and for the nice comments!

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

Good deal! Looks amazing. It is amazing how just hardware and fixtures can really refresh a space!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! And you’re right, it doesn’t take much sometimes.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Bruce! It really turned out great! 😃 The wood you put around the mirror looks crazy! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you very much! It’s not a style for everyone, but I think that was some cool wood

[@bytesizedengineering]

That looks so much better!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! I like how it turned out!

[@CMCdiy]

A lot of work, but it turned out to be a wonderful job 🤗

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! My mom loves how it turned out so I'm happy about that.

[@ACNailedIt]

Man the frame around the mirror looks really good, and I love those light fixtures too. Way to go! Painting is awful, so I might steal a couple ideas for my next bathroom refresh!!

[@BruceAUlrich]

New hardware can do a lot! And I think a framed mirror just looks good. I wasn’t sure how that frame would look being so thick, but I like it!

[@jakematic]

Nice job Bruce. Looks real good !

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much!

[@rsbanddork]

Picture quality is fantastic

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much!

[@kevinash8825]

Awesome job, looks great! Made me really miss doing projects with my dad. Glad you got that on video!

[@BruceAUlrich]

I hear ya. Glad I could help them with it.

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

Awesome transformation,Bruce and family. Nice Job!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks, Mike! They’re alright. ;)

[@CrossCutCreations]

That's a great looking vanity. Nice work.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Well, thank you!

[@jasonbailey9139]

Took me forever to figure out that was Rebecca, which means you haven’t had her on the pre-game show in a while. You guys need to get the wives back on for a biannual episode. Ok, so maybe it was because there was never a clear shot of her face…and for some reason I thought her hair was darker.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Rebecca was helping me hold the light bar at the vanity. My sister was helping me on the floor with the hot glue and wires. I agree…we need to get the wives back on the podcast.

[@jasonbailey9139]

@@BruceAUlrich Now I don't feel so bad about not recognizing her right away. Haha!

[@shopcatt643]

Love your parents property

[@BruceAUlrich]

It’s a great place!
