What Happened to my Extreme Bathroom Makeover...Progress Has Been Made

[@Kroisant15]

2:58 our sorryboy austin assuring us that the plastic will be reused is funny to me 🤣 and how cute is the fact that he was so down filming by himself for becky 😭❤️

[@skylarsa]

Hes gotta keep up the sustainable vibes TSG try to promote!! I loved his additions to the video!

[@aryanahassar5295]

I thought the same. I was like, yeah this boy knows the sorrygirl brand and their audience

[@imtoolazyyyy]

SORRYBOY 😂💀

[@jessicagreen2351]

Loved his additions! Was so seamless I didn’t notice until a second before Becky walked in at 4:12!

[@AK_7_7]

The way Austin recorded video of him putting in the window for Becky 🥹❤️

[@erinvanhandel]

Girls don't want jewelry or flowers. Girls want windows.

[@clairefreymann2446]

Austin is SUCH an asset

[@kaleshabastion2332]

It was so sweet.

[@alexsmith5429]

Sorry boy❤

[@beatdizzy]

He read a book. No KZbin. 😂

[@wnbrooks]

Becky & Austin are the duo the DIY world deserves.

[@vim-arie]

Don’t let HGTV know! Haha love them as independent agents

[@chocobrowny93]

Aww the ‘smart… And good looking’ was soo cute, definitely true! Yalls perseverance is inspiring!

[@sophia910]

the way I giggled hahah

[@coolmomASMR]

I have to say the "teal slate" tile is actually fantastic! It reads copper patina in a really good way and definitely makes sense with your 70's vibe and paired with the warm rich wood tones! Stinking awesome choice!

[@the_brinaki]

Copper fixtures IMAGINE THAT 🤩

[@kellilangvo]

You can use an exhaust fan with a heater built in - have them on separate switches ….seems necessary in Canada…I used heated floors when i redid my bathroom. It doesn’t warm up the room like you think it will - especially considering your bath is next to an unheated space….about your floor tile: my now 20 plus year old bathroom has the same 4x4 ceramic tile on the walls and floor. No cracks. The most important thing is your floors need to be perfectly level. Installers will tell you not to use the tile you sourced because they don’t want to be liable….

[@erinvanhandel]

REALLY astute observation 👍

[@evicaf4e]

Rightt! I can already imagine it with a wood tones and silver fixtures (for me it would look the best). The vibes are really 70s, rainy forest and steamy sauna and I am here for it.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

I love the addition of the Sorry Boy this week. ❤

[@vernieplummer5148]

Wow, check out Austin with his master DIY skills. I have seen him do this and that over the years, but I didn’t know he was up to this level. Oh yeah, I guess he did build a fence when you were doing your patio I think. Anyway, it’s a match made in heaven!

[@TheSorryGirls]

😎🔨

[@michaelahallfilms5450]

My jaw dropped when you revealed the old vinyl tile match! 😮😮😮 that’s so insane!!!

[@audreym3908]

Same 😮 it was meant to be!

[@AshtenOriginals]

I’m glad you share the mistakes too, because not only did you learn something, but I can learn from you as well!

[@chrisssward]

I think the green tile was a good choice - needed some contrast to break up all the brown tones youre planning on doing. I think its going to look really good when youre done.

[@poniesandproteins]

Manifesting the cork tile going in a guest room where it can have it's beautiful moment while not being in a high traffic/high moisture area.

[@emilyclark8772]

Girl I was scared of that black grout and it turned out GORGEOUS. I love the idea that you’re giving the bathroom back the life it used to have! I had that happen when painting my house, we removed some old trim and saw the color it used to be underneath was almost exactly the same 🥲

[@shannonsteven808]

I did black grout in my new place, and I'll never go white in a bathroom again!

[@y0utuberculosis]

austin is our positive masculinity king

[@AnysiaRae]

Gosh I love Austin, every time he makes an appearance, he's complimenting Becky and teaching and goofing around. Love seeing him in the videos! What a wonderful couple

[@hgradjansky]

I worked in the tile industry for the past 8 years. If you go to showrooms and ask, they may either have discontinued tile that they no longer have in the showroom floor because the quantity is too low but would be enough for your project. Or there may be orders that were never picked up and forfeited that the showroom would be willing to sell cheaply. Also reuse or restore centers often have small amounts of tile. To address a few concerns you voiced … Porcelain tile is non porous so it should not be affected by the color of the grout. If using stone, make sure to seal it before setting it and then again after grouting to ensure it isn’t stained by the grout or things dropped on it. Hope that helps!

[@Fliinii]

"Very smart...AND good looking." I'm dead, so smooth 😂

[@avivat3010]

Although it was a super pain to find the mold and wood damage, it is better to find that sooner than later if it does exist. Becky, you and Austin have both done an amazing job on your house. The bathroom is promising to look gorgeous. I lived through the 70's and find I still don't like brown, although you've almost made me love it with the decorating that you've done in your house already. You've made your house sing, Becky! I can't wait to see the finished floofed bathroom. Thank you for sharing your experiences and truths with us. It will really help all of us!

[@AuntieBrendaWashington-tp5mq]

Becky, love the way you and Austin collaborate. A match made in heaven. You have made excellent choices design wise and otherwise. Can hardly wait to see the further adventures of that 70s house.

[@vernieplummer5148]

The grout worked out great. It did dry lighter and it just melts away and it looks like it was meant to be. I’m sure you’ve already made your decisions about it, but you could certainly put some brown tile on the backsplash or even larger areas and it would match well. I can’t wait to see what else you do there. So far it looks wonderful.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

I’m a firm believer that houses speak to us. That they want to be a kind of way. They have their own ideas and you have to listen to them or it just never seems like it’s at peace with itself. That sounds weird maybe but then …. Your tile being the upscale version of what was originally there happened and I was like, “See!!!”. I loved that moment. Also because Austin gets a little piece of 80’s glam in your gorgeous 70’s oasis lol.

[@audreym3908]

I love teal! Plus with the white and wood tones it will feel like you're at a luxury spa!

[@doomcake2020]

Updates, yessss! Loving the Austin contributions to the video. 🥰

[@hazelbunting2327]

I’m loving the floor. It reminds me of houses in Europe in the 70’s. Once people started taking out the orange and cream patterned tile they moved up to slate. Good choice

[@LollyB1963]

Wow I’m impressed Austin is amazingly talented..He should go into home renovations..

[@francescathomas3502]

23:03 That black grout you were so worried about looks perfect!! It matches the tiles so nicely. And how the original vinyl flooring matches your tiles. That is called Serendipity!!!

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

You are truly teaching us, Becky. Learning from your mistakes. I love TSG creative courage.

[@irishqa.]

Wow that bathroom really wanted to have teal-green tile😍 It would look so good with browns, love!

[@juliacann892]

The floor tile reminds me of the ocean 🌊 I’m obsessed!

[@ScribbledCrayon]

Important notes of clarification on floor vs wall tile that I definitely want people to know to be better equipped/confident in their choices: 1) There are ABSOLUTELY ceramic floor tiles available - they can be fired and/or reinforced to be more than strong enough for residential usage. So please don’t be turned off of a potentially beautiful floor tile just because it’s ceramic! 2) Performance is one reason wall tile cannot be applied on floors, but it is not the only one! Almost any mosaic with glass in it will not be rated for floor application for obvious reasons. There are also some polished tiles that have not passed necessary slip resistance tests to be approved for floor application. 3) There’s a distinct difference between dry and wet floor application, as well as dry/wet exterior applications. Like the polished tile example before, that same slip resistance might not meet the minimum standard for a bathroom, but could still be fine for a public not-usually-wet-area like a hallway, living room or kitchen. When installing on walls, those same considerations obviously don’t apply. This may sound like a lot, but no matter where you purchase your tile, there should always be a trained professional who should be able to walk you through what will and will not work for your needs. Every tile manufactured has a set of tests (slip resistance, hardness, moisture content, variation ratings, etc) that will always be reported on either the side of the box or at least on the product’s spec sheet which can usually be found online. And these same information sources will also confirm where any given product is approved for installation. And last note - while wall tiles cannot be installed on floors, pretty much any floor tile CAN be installed on walls. So never feel restricted to only material labeled “wall tile” if that’s what you’re looking for! Hope that helps anyone who needs the info and sorry for the essay! 😅

[@margoz7251]

Having lived in a 70ish era house in a damp hollow somewhere in southern Ontario, every time I saw your house I was sure I could smell mold. When you finally found and removed the mold I was just sure must be there, and reconstructed PROPERLY, I was so relieved! I think discovering mold in your house has to be one of the most traumatic things ever for a homebuyer with big reno plans. Well done you two!

[@janetboette7013]

Hi guys! Tile with dark grout looks Great! And yes, compromising in a relationship is key, but my husband still won't "let me" put floral in our bedroom. So I glammed, glitters and floraled my craft room. Yep

[@lindafogarty2909]

I was laughing while you were freaking out over the grout. I kept repeating "it's going to look great Becky". And it does.

[@brynnb2324]

Becky and Austins relationship makes me smile 😁 they are adorable

[@saraferreira-holz6375]

Bathroom is looking great, Austin did a phenomenal job and I'm sure Danny will love the heated floor.

[@Califerrluvzmusic]

I cant concentrate on anything because Becky’s hair always looks so amazing

[@kathynguyen6409]

Becky is back!! I hope your team is having a great week! Sending positive vibes from Kansas!

[@jocewaitwhat]

Ah! Becky, I've been second-hand stressing for your bathroom. Glad to hear you're moving forward!

[@lisapoulsen5452]

I just finished 18 months of Invisalign…it is so weird at first but you absolutely get used to it. What’s even more funny is that I was just admiring your sweet little gap🥰. The tile looks awesome!

[@enaid7911]

"Very smart, and good looking." Love Austin! Thank you!❤🎉

[@sophiag612]

The house I grew up in had green marble countertops and I miss them so much!! Makes sense since it was built in the 80s! They’re so beautiful.

[@KayDubs77]

My first home had sub-floor heating throughout the entire house, and it was absolutely the best thing ever. I miss it so much that I will still occasionally dream about it, and I haven't lived there for almost 20 years.

[@LaughingInTiny]

Ok actually though... Is he the CUTEST HUSBAND?? What a sweetheart. Filmed a video and everything. Major points scored Sir. ❤ For anyone else who might be starting a tiling project and wanting to use tiles (or any flooring, wall surface etc) that is limited quantities (bonus points for second hand)... ALWAYS rule your most important SEEN places first. Using this as an example, the tiles under where the cabinets will be don't need to be the green tiles if there weren't enough of them. You never know what could happen with DIY (could drop or break tiles while cutting for example) so lay out the tiles in a dry fit first. If you need to make changes you can rearrange till you find a fix, THEN adhere them. 😊

[@lir9875]

Austin is a gem. His little comments make me smile.

[@Liza03V]

I just love watching Austin. He is the man for all the works. I love this colour choice better. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Austin won.

[@theresapittman205]

3:13 Yass king! Plastic is reusable and we should always do so when plastic is required. Plastic isn’t the villain, human behavior is.

[@evewithwonder]

I love the way I smiled as soon as Austin started talking to the camera 😄 he's great and deserves the camera time!

[@JL11775]

The bathroom is looking great! How freaky that the original floor is what you ended up buying.😮 Can’t wait for the next video! Have a great week! 😊

[@beautyizeasy]

The blue tile with black grout is beautiful! I think it looks so pretty and was a better overall choice than the brown

[@dianes4858]

I LOVE that blue! Looks like the Benjamin Moore ‘Blue Danube’ I painted my lower kitchen cabinets. Love your designs and design choices. 😁❤️

[@annl.8909]

Looking fantastic.... well done to you both, and to the foreman Danni as well...

[@WhalienDNA]

1. I’m also redoing some floors in my house and struggling with options so I feel your pain. 2. I am also obsessed with Troye Sivan’s house and screamed when you said that. 3. Yay for more Austin. He seems great and his videos are so chill.

[@minitaco5567]

16:30 I ain't sure but it really looks like a Verde Alpi marble tile! Or a tile that similarly looks like it. Really love the color 💚💚💚

[@ittybittylidicommittee]

That black grout had me nnneeeeeerrrrvousss but it looks so nice!

[@bbrittmitchelll]

I love that you’ve really kept this series as DIY as possible. What a commendable feat, and so inspiring for a new homeowner like me! 🙌🏻

[@randjisavage8030]

LOL!! AWE!! I love that Danny is in the intro. He is so CUTE!!!

[@rachaeltra05]

I'm so glad you opted for large tiles in the end. Yes, small tiles are cool, and if that's what you like, you do you, I'm not stopping you. However, small tiles mean lots of grout lines - which means more labor for the person cleaning the bathroom. If this is your forever home, then that means 40 - 50 + years of cleaning the bathroom, so you'll want to do yourself a favor and make it as easy as possible to clean. I know you opted for black grout which won't show the dirt as much, and kudos on that, but every now and then someone will still need to clean those grout lines.

[@lilyx77]

The floor makes it look likea hotel I love it!!!! I really didn't have the vision I have to be honest at first but I can't wait to see the rest this is so exciting!!!!

[@morganlegayfay]

My mom and I watch these together. She used to be an interior designer for years and specialized in kitchens and bathrooms. Just bragging about her rn; she was so good that a large home builder hired her. 😁 She loves the green; she thinks it's oddly timeless and just the right amount of color. Also, if anyone lives in southwest Florida, my mom might've done your kitchen/bathroom, lol.

[@lillylilium497]

What you are looking for is likely not regular tiles but terracotta. It's the exact aesthetic, including the matte, earthy finish. It's very popular in Mediterranean countries. It should be available anywhere, as it's basically clay. It's great for floors and very durable, but it needs to be sealed properly if it's going to be used in bathrooms.

[@rollierollout]

I love the tile floor!! It looks so elegant and classy! Can't wait to see this space finished! 🤩

[@abbyhutchinson7720]

Omg!! That blue green teal tile is giving Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion onyx walls!! So perfect

[@emilydenny5276]

I'm sorry but I can't withhold my comment - the story about the teal tile is adorable??? Love how it's such a unique compromise!

[@iman.a.t]

That tile is currently trending, it is having a resurgence. And tbh, I'm into it! I would love to use it in one of my projects. Good choice!

[@aimeecreative]

I freaking love this series! And I actually really like that blue! So happy for you guys!

[@JillianCrafts]

I did black grout and I LOOOOOVE IT! Because white always looks dirty! I’m obsessed with my black and white marble look tiles with black grout!!! Dark grout for the win! But yes, it looked like I had spilled my hair dye all over the floor when I started. I panicked too but it turned out amazing and so did yours!!

[@brinagotsued]

I love the floor tiles and the grout looks great with it!

[@natashafreeman6286]

Looking so good I love the bathroom floor and great choice Becky and Austin team work so excited to see the whole review

[@onyourm_ars]

oh wow, i genuinely actually really loving the tile!! its so pretty!! i think it really match well with the black grout too, can't wait to see the whole bathroom!!!

[@eskimoki9630]

The floor…. Stunning! I love it!

[@ashleycrane1524]

That tile is looking RICHHHHHHHHH!!!!! OBSESSED! Love the grout color!

[@mariep7614]

Aaaahhh!! I cannot WAIT for the next video to see everything come full circle!! It's looking so good already!

[@Mandy4610]

I was dying for you with that black grout. Phew……it turned out beautifully.

[@cindychaney7205]

It is looking So Good!. You two make a great Team

[@clairestofthemall]

It's a gorgeous color tile choice

[@emilyflavell1658]

I really love the blue exterior, good choice Austin

[@reedroom7804]

ugh i can’t wait for updates!! im far too invested :,)

[@missblondiam]

I love love loveeee the tiles you went with!! Also how cute is Austin for making those little clips!

[@lindashapanka6229]

I grew up in a house built in the 40’s in Levittown NY with radiant heat generated with hot water (like the ancient Roman’s) in all the floors downstairs. Never cold in the winter.

[@Vbettencourt017]

Obsessed with the tile choice!!! 😍😍😍

[@ujaandesarkar996]

Austin was so cute filming and I was so desperately waiting to know updates about your home!

[@kyramioso]

Amazing updates - so much has improved! The last video really was kindof dire looking with all the rot but Austin really pulled through there getting the bones of it all sorted. I really liked that Becky helped out so much too, really shows a nice partnership between the two of you. I LOVE the final tile you chose, and the black grout, it all just came together so so well. I like that Austin got some of his style preference and yes the bigger window made such a big difference! Heated flooring is such a must in Canadian winters, I had no idea that was how they were installed! Well done and I'm so looking forward to the next video on this.

[@sierraduffy4759]

This bathroom has been through so much but it needed that to come out the other side and look like this 😍😍

[@romanahoch6288]

Becky has been, and always will be the ultimate favourite of the crew. Combine with Austin, they are are the best🥰

[@carlyh6913]

I'm so proud of you guys, you both really did that

[@sheshickey]

HAHAHA that lino and tile thing is aMAzing! Getting that black grout cleaned up was a chore and a half, but it looks perfect. More Austin, more Austin.

[@shanaproctor100]

Austin is the man!! Great job, you guys!

[@kaylaverrenkamp6333]

I myself was not into the brown tiles but I Love these new green tiles great choice

[@elyseflaxman8846]

Black grout brought me to a standstill and a copious amount of tears when I used it. Good for you for keeping calm and carrying on😊.

[@danielleboon1543]

Love the clips with Austin, and your black grout was absolutely the right colour choice. The bathroom is looking great

[@itzelgaytan929]

Becky!!! The tile is amazing I love how you said I’m just going to vibe it out 🤭🥰🥰🥰💘💘

[@carlyh6913]

I'm LOVING the green tile, it's gonna look so good with the brown wall tile 🤠

[@animonteleone396]

How exciting to finally get to this point! I bet you guys are so happy! I really learned a lot from watching this video too. Can’t wait to see the final reveal 🎉

[@alicejump2290]

Anyone renovating knows that moment, OH MY GOD, what do we do now? Kudos for Austin and for you, hard work, and for doing it right! That bathroom is going to be amazing! Love that you are real about mistakes and being flexible about changes!

[@mugglemom9135]

OH MY, that grout!! I was yelling the whole time you were working on it..."Please don't use that grout!" But then, of course, it dried to the perfect color. I.can.not.believe. that it dried sooo much lighter! And Austin's "Are you proud of me?" So cute!

[@toriam15]

Becky and Austin are a power couple with DIY skills! The bathroom is looking great. Way to go Austin for all your extra hard work on the house!

[@bingobongo0001]

wait that tile with a warm medium/dark stain wood!!!! so good. i see your vision 100%. and the grout turned out perfect!

[@namrataperi2538]

Very into Austin recording videos - so knowledgeable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jensiamese]

That floor looks so good, oh my goodness

[@superbt27]

I loooove the tile floor you chose, so beautiful!😍😍😍

[@TheSorryGirls]

Thank you! 😊

[@Nanugale]

Oh my!!! This flooring looks so nice!!! Love Austin make it up in the videos always teaching us something. Can't wait for the next video and Becky I'm really loving how this is turned out! 🎉
