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]

[@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! 👏🏽

[@nonameidonotwantmynametodi5804]

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

[@minikorsi]

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

[@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 😯

[@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 😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼

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!

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

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

[@gloriaredmon-booth6572]

I have been binge watching this series since I found it

[@davidgriffith618]

02/21. Thanks Lowes. This gal taught us! This was great.

[@BratBustersParenting]

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

[@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!

[@diannedhaver4358]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 😍

[@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.

[@barblivoli9889]

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

[@christinewilliams7005]

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

[@peggyhiggins6923]

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

[@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.

[@tinasikl9407]

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

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. 😂😂😂

[@Cyndis865]

Wow, absolutely gorgeous it looks totally vintage antique classic and elegant.

[@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. 🤷‍♀️

[@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!

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!😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@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~

[@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

Beautiful! Totally inspiring me to paint my bathroom cabinet blue too!

[@mey-meybenamar4122]

I LOVE it !!!.....wallpaper really binds it all together......so for darker colours in the bathroom....great job!

[@MessoverOG]

I love everything but I wish they did a peel and stick tile or something on the floor as well. Also I discovered there is a paint that can be used on bathroom tiles and fixtures. Regardless, this was an amazing makeover. The wainscoting and vintage wallpaper is totally my style. ❤️❤️

That bathroom makeover is right up my alley, too... I love it!

[@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]
