Step 7: A New Color Palette: It’s no surprise to anyone that a fresh coat of paint goes a long way toward reviving a space. I wanted the bathroom to retain a light and airy vibe, so I painted the walls a soft gray, which also helps the white tiles pop as a design feature. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 6: Creative Storage Solutions: For additional storage I used a midcentury-inspired planter to store rolled towels. Planters are an unexpected alternative to the average storage basket, and this one is waterproof, so it’s a perfect solution for next to the tub. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Stainless steel bars that were all custom cut are at the bottom and top of the tiles. Instead of having a standard niche that fits between studs, I had the guys frame out a wider one. Above it is another niche that is short just for housing soaps and razors. Next step is the glass.

Step 5: Easy-to-Install Flooring: Like the wall tiles, the flooring was in pretty solid shape but far from stylish. So with the help of a gorgeous line of linoleum tiles I gave the bathroom floor a major upgrade. There are some really huge advantages to working with linoleum. For starters, installing it is super easy, and you need only a utility knife to cut it and a little contact cement to hold it in place. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 4: A Quick Tile Fix: With the plumbing fixtures updated I turned my attention to the tile. If budget and time were no object, Glen and Louise would have preferred to replace the tiles with a more interesting option. In reality, however, that option was out. On the upside, the tiles were in good shape and relatively inoffensive. To add a little graphic oomph, I used a paint-on grout dye to darken the existing white grout lines. The process of dyeing grout is really simple: You paint the product on and then wipe away the excess with a paper towel or a rag. Don’t worry; the dye stains only the grout joints. I found that working on small sections of wall works best. If you try to cover too much space at a time you’ll end up really needing to scrub to get the dye off. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 6: Creative Storage Solutions: While the previous cabinet below the sink did provide more storage than the new pedestal sink, it still wasn’t enough. I added a glossy blue campaign dresser that more than compensates for the storage we gave up with the cabinet—and it also provides additional counter space! When looking for nontraditional bathroom storage options, scale is everything. This piece is actually a bedside table. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez

Step 1: Out with the Old: The most costly and time-consuming part of a bathroom renovation is relocating plumbing and electrical fixtures. The demo involved can leave the space unusable for weeks, with walls that need repair and tiles that need replacing. So I decided to leave the existing bathroom layout in place but replace the sink and tub fixtures. After some careful measuring to make sure everything would fit, I ordered a new sink and faucet to replace the existing boxy cabinet and dated fixture. Photo by Manuel Rodriguez
