As someone considering doing a bathroom renovation myself, this was really insightful! I had no clue that labor was that expensive or that you could even find replacement door options ion different colors for the ikea vanity. Definitely taking notes while planning out this renovation. Great video Shelby!
Glad it was helpful!
It's good to get recommendations for a tile guy from the tile store - I had the floors in my master bathroom/dressing area, walk-in closet and stairs tiled a few years ago. The tiled my shower stall and tub surround. My tile store recommended the tile guy and his team and they did a great job. But - always interview at least 5 or more tile guys. Check out the company and tile guy on-line and yelp. It's also a good idea to post on nextdoor for recommendations. You want the job done right and u don't want to get overcharged. Always ask how long the job will take - and on a receipt, you need to write, "time is of the essence - and date they'll finish. Many contractors do many jobs at once - and u want to be sure, they come back every day or two.
well done Shelby. Great job not only with the project but in detailing the reality of the work involved. BTW big fan of your dad after this video. Cheers!
Omg thank you!! I watched a bunch of your videos before we tiled to make sure I did it right!
If murphy’s law has taught me and dad anything, is that everything will cost more and take longer than you think. Always something to think about. (Used to do reno with him) The difference is how we turn it in your favor. In this case, it’s learning new reno skills and getting new ideas. You handled this amazingly, Shelbs! Great video and great job!
If you didn't have that contractor, it would've been closer to $5k. $1500 seems very high for the job he did and all the delays he caused you. Hopefully you won't need a contractor next time
The fact your dad and you did it together made this video special and just that more enjoyable. 😊
This bathroom is a jewel. I wished you had chosen brass fixtures but I understood your point on silver. The best outcome is that you spent quality time with your dad. You are so lucky to have that dad, not only he is a great educated man but he is soooooo skillful and always their to help you and finish the job. I was amazed by his knowledge being a teacher. I cant wait to see you renovating the 2nd bathroom next. I really enjoyed all vlogs. Please try to do more DIYS because girl is DIY is calling you. I hope your dad shows us anything that he will renovate at his new house. Keep going and please do more projects with dad Church. ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She should have gone with Kohler moderne brass and a darker green tile, that's what I have planned for an upcoming bathroom project.
Monica, you and your dad did an amazing job. The amount of sweat equity that you put in saved you so many $$$ on this project. I am so glad you were detailed in waterproofing, so many contractors are not that detailed. Your time management was superb and the small changes you made were very will thought out . Bravo to you guys. One thing I think every homeowner should have is a house book. Everything you paint, replace , buy , warranties goes in this book. You never have to wonder dates or time. It’s all in this book. Thanks for sharing this project. You now have hands on experience. Great job.
House book is a great idea!! I’m Shelby though haha
she’s not Monica 😂
@@ShelbyChurch You must get that a lot. Surprised that it happens on YT, even if you both have channels.
@@ShelbyChurch awkward!!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@biondatiziana they also look completely different haha
The floating vanity is gorgeous! I’m glad you got the expensive one!
I had my house I just bought renovated before I moved it. It was easier that way. Yes, it does cost more than expected. The whole kitchen was gutted and redone. Thanks for sharing this.
As someone who has renovated quite a few bathrooms DIY-style, y'all did a great job! It always take so much longer and costs more than you think it will. 💪
Great job on the bathroom! Glad you documented it, and I always love your recaps.
So proud of you and Dad Church!! Looks stunning and straight out of a design magazine!
This is an absolute must-watch for anyone considering a home renovation. It offers invaluable insights and practical advice that could potentially save you from costly mistakes and unexpected expenses. The detailed cost breakdown is particularly helpful, as it gives viewers a realistic perspective on budgeting for their own renovation projects. Thumbs up👍👍👍
All I could think of while she was listening off those prices was at the end….”but learning to renovate a bathroom? Priceless….” 😂
Hahahaha
She really didn’t do much. The tile work was most of the renovation which she hired out to do.
9:55 I didn’t know that builders would take multiple projects and that frustrated me so much 😅 this video is really helpful ❤ love it ❤✨
This is really informative insight for a primarily DIY renovation effort. Love that you and your dad chose reasonably priced materials (besides the Wayfair impulse) from local vendors and kept it under 10k.
I switched my valve to the opposite side too! I don’t understand why I never see that! I agree… I hate turning on the water and jumping our not to get hit with it while it’s still cold 🥶 Great job
I just want to say thank you for the transparency! Your video helped me have the courage to do my home bathroom remodel.
Well made renovation and the costs are reasonable in my.opinion, great job, Shelby.
The bathroom is just gorgeous! Well done! Great suggestion when buying online to try to buy from a retailer that has a slocal tore where you can return, if needed, in person.
Appreciate the transparency, loved watching the process on the vlogs channel!
LOVE the sage tiles!! Gorgeous bathroom!!!💕💕💕💕
That price is not bad at all! Thank you for sharing this, it’s giving me motivation to start some projects
These are awesome videos. Great content and all of the above! Also, so cool of your dad to help you with this. Thanks
Outstanding !!!
Let's hear it for Mike Church !!!! 👏🥂👏
Wow! The bathroom looks REALLY nice.
What an informative video. Yes labor costs for any labor in the skilled trades is getting more expensive now...if you can even find a good contractor. It's cool that you got to spend so much quality time with your dad on your diy renovation.
It was so helpful to learn from my dad! I definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to save on renovations
@@ShelbyChurch he must have some experience and the skills and knowledge to do renovations, how awesome that he could show you!
Thanks for the inside scoop. Always good to have this kind of information.
Thanks for showing the numbers and process broke down
Girl this was so helpful. I'm about the renovate a WHOLE HOUSE and my anxiety is through the roof!
Good luck. I’m about a year into renovating mine by myself (3 bed and 2 bath) and I am almost done. Just master bath to go. At times I wanted to give up, specially with the bathroom Reno’s, as I’m still learning, but so glad I didn’t. It’s worth it IMO
Wow, this breakdown is super helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience with renovating. 💡
It came out so beautiful, Shelby!! 😃❤️
very nice outcome great color choice on bathroom tiles.
IMO your floating vanity looks way better than the one from Ikea; especially having the same sides makes it look way cooler.
I've also watched the renovation video; it was very interesting, it turned out great!
Way to go Shelby! Looks great. I myself renovated my own master bath. I hired my brother to do wall texture because I had no experience in that.
I know I said it already on Instagram, but I have to say it again - you guys did an incredibly good job and I'm so impressed! You made me want to do more DIY renovations - I always thought it was extremely difficult and dangerous, but you made it look so easy :)
The bathroom looks great. Well done!
6:15 - absolute facts!!!! Once you experience this process it's hard to go back. It is such a little thing but it's so huge!!!!
It looks great, so well done. There's always lessons learned for next time
So many people I know have mentioned their problems with returning something large, like a sink or furniture, to Wayfair.
Very insightful! I love these types of videos.
Excellent multi skilled woman,a nice modern bathroom too. I’m sure the market will recover and your home will be a rental success,much love ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Super helpful advice. I had a similar situation- I bought a $1500 shower glass from Wayfair and shipped it to Hawaii only to find out it wouldn't fit. I was passed my return eligibility date (which would have cost a ton anyway) and was stuck with a 200lb shower door. I eventually sold it on FB marketplace for $400 just to get rid of it 🤦♀️
I am in love with the mint green tiles. Mint green is just such an amazing, yummy, comfy color.
Never thought to change the location of the valve … it all looks so purty 👍🏼😃
Another fantastic and helpful video Shelby
Square and rectangle drains do not work as well as round. I wish I knew that before I installed my large rectangle drain, but it's beautifully hidden like yours. Flat sink basins also do not drain well, but are so pretty.
We had our house built beginning in December 1996 (moved in end of April 1997). I came to the house nearly every day once construction started. The builder told me I was not allowed on site, but I did it anyway. I came after hours, took lots of photos during construction so I know where all the electrical, pipes and ducts are run. This was the days before cell phone cameras (yes, kids, those days did exist). Used actual film you had to develop. Now 25 years later we had all 3 bathrooms gutted and remodeled. Linoleum replaced with nice floor tiles. Tub in the master bathroom replaced with a shower similar to what you have in this video. Custom granite counters replacing standard laminate. Brushed nickel fixtures replacing cheap plastic with chrome covered fixtures. All in our bathrooms were about $15,000 each. Labor was absurdly expensive. But you pay for quality. Made a massive mistake and ordered our cabinets through a shyster contractor who basically took our money and ran. Threatened a lawsuit (my state you can recover 3-times damages from contractors). Finally got 4 cabinets 14-months after we paid for them. They were not custom sized - literally just ordered standard cabinets from a supplier through this contractor. Lesson learned.
It came out really nice
Gorgeous bathroom!!!💕Well done!
Love the godmorgon pronunciation of the Ikea furniture!
We have to do both of my bathrooms and omg so overwhelming this video helped so much
It came out great and I think you made the right call on the vanity. Looks expensive.
Agreed! Double the time!Same here with changing my bathroom exhaust fan to a quiet one 😅
I have an ikea kitchen that we did 10 years ago. I would never buy it again. It is not holding up as well as quality cabinets would have.
We re-did our bathroom at the height of Covid. It’s about the same size as yours, but we spent close to $20,000. We used high end fixtures, so that added a lot to the cost. Our contractor was fantastic, and everything was done perfectly. There’s no way it would have come out as beautiful if we had done it, and it would have taken far longer.
Congratulations to you and your dad on the gorgeous bathroom and saving a lot of money.
Love your videos. Always so insightful
You and Dad Church did an awesome job on it!!!
It's great , you're smart and well done , great job , I love people who make great repairs with their own hands)
you and your Dad did an amazing job
Bathroom looks amazing
Looks great!
Very helpful, thank you!
This was a great list with some things that I think people often overlook. I'd probably recommend taking into consideration a few other things, too.
First, take into consideration the lifespan of what you are buying. Is something you really want very trendy, and is that going to cause your project to be outdated in five years? So, light sconces or a showerhead or a mirror being outdated in five years isn't a huge concern since they're relatively easy to replace, they aren't usually budget busters, and they can sometimes be updated without having to completely replace it. But if you get trendy tile , you're probably doing future you a major disservice because replacing and/or updating that is a relatively big project, and you are much more limited in updating options if you don't want to completely replace it (You can paint tile or reglaze it, but you are limited by color selection, have to be concerned about it peeling, or worry about waterproofing. On top of that, the whole process can be a more complicated than people realize even if you aren't completely replacing it).
Second, utilize different apps, websites, etc. to plan out your project. Pinterest boards are pretty common to get an aesthetic down, but there's also specific apps out there that can help you predict how something is going to look before doing it. For example, Sherwin Williams has a paint color app that can show you what the room will look like in different colors of theirs. Consider doing a mockup (or hiring someone to do a mockup) in sketchup or photoshop or some other type of software if you are having trouble picturing something important.
Lastly, if you buy something on a whim, take a day or so before installing it. For example, if you were originally going to go with one sink vanity but change your mind (or the item is sold out) and get a different one, don't be too overeager and install it right away. Same with tile or other bigger ticket items. Having to uninstall something is a massive pain in the butt and can slow you down for a while compared to taking an extra day or two to feel comfortable in a decision.
10:17 - you can tell that contractor really left a bad taste with Shelby. She's doing her best to keeping it classy. 👍👍👍🤣🤣😭😭
Awesome! The only thing Shelby wished she had taken into account with the bathroom renovation was giving herself more time to get it done and the time pressure at the end didn’t allow her time to see what it was like finished. That’s probably as important as making sure you have the material on hand and also the experience to get it done right. Its basically a trial and error process and it won’t always look the way it does in an illustration because every place is going to be different and there will be some customisation inevitably involved. That said, for the cost involved, the bathroom ended up looking better than it did before. Congratulations! 😊
I'm a flooring and remodeling contractor and my clients constantly complain about our prices for a bathroom renovation in Florida. I'm going to start showing them this do they can see the true cost of this job including material, labor, finishes, plumbing and all that. It's a lot of work!
And I can also say even the comments about the contractors are true. We take on more jobs before we finish the last ones. It's important to keep our guys working and busy and delays happen!
We just went through our second bathroom reno. Your video is spot on! Your new bathroom looks fabulous! Do you have the link for the floor tile?
Love the finished bathroom. Cant wait to see some original designed art work with your Air bnb logo. Also do you have a robe hook , and towel bar somewhere? Thanks Shelby and Dad Church for YT productions. Have you created your own web for booking yet? Please share links for that... ❤
Reciprocating saws work well to cut tile out. Draw a straight line across the top and down the sides and start cutting. Of course, this assumes there are no pipes or wiring. Don't have to cut deep into the walls... Just past the sheetrock.
@Shelby Church The bathroom makeover looks very nice!
Planning to do a dining room update project myself
Thanks for this vid, I am thinking about Renovating my Bathroom
Love your videos, Shelby! I am middle-age female & admire your gumption. Because of your videos, I am about to order a Tesla!!
I recommend for the next bathroom reno to have a rainfall shower head and then also one of those smaller body ones on a hose, so you can aim it wherever you want. We have them a lot in Australia and it's the best of both worlds.
Just had that done and switching the rain head on first I don't need to get out of the way of the water!
I love the tile color you picked, but I would match it with brass faucets
Oh I like this! I wanna house to renovate now
I liked the old bathroom and new one. They're both nice. Will this add value to the house if you were to sell it?
Very well done. This house renovation video was fun and informative. It has a lot of good tips for the 123 year old house we are renovating, filming, and posting on our channel. The editing of the video was also very impressive.:)
The bathroom looks SO good and that tile color looks beautiful against your skin! You should wear that color more ! :)) also love that top on you too!
Great video Shelby! I had no idea that it cost that much to renovate a bathroom. Btw I love your necklace! Where did you get it?? 😍
I think the renovation of the bathroom was much more expensive than what you told if someone did the bathroom for you. This was a beautiful video and it was nice to see you using your GH6 in your shot when you moved. I was wondering when a new video was going to appear. Thank you Shelby!
about 25k around here. but the end results would have came out a different.
7:45 Also, with Lowe's and HD, you can return it for an extended time, like 90 days or so, which means that if your project gets delayed, you can still return it. When I last built, Amazon had 30 days. In that time, I might not get to that piece, then find it won't work for my application, but miss the return window and have to donate it to get rid of it.
Love your videos
It would be so fun to see you and your dad have a little contracting side gig together. ☺️
Such good tips. I had to comment 🥰
And give engagement 💕
It's beautiful
This is a great recap! Love the results! So beautiful! What did the contractor actually do? Did you pay him? And are you leaving a Yelp review or an Angie’s List review somewhere for future clients to beware???
Love the way the finished bathroom looks. You and your dad did an excellent job. Love the sunken shower, and glad you got rid of the tub.
It was 15000 just to change the plumbing in the house; so I also did some renovations to my kitchen and bathroom. Your renovation looked so much modern; also be aware if you wanted new appliances from Home Depot, it might take 3 months to ship them. My whirlpool refrigerator took 3 month to arrive; also the return policy was only 48 hours.
Where is your top from? 🥰 looooove your outfit!
Wow considering, that was a great price for such beautiful results!
Hey where did you purchase your green chair. On the money on that one, it looks beautiful.
Curious if you did any testing for asbestos given your house is on the older side? I want to do my bathroom but I’m scared the drywall will have asbestos 😬
I had a family member give me a great price as we helped. We estomated $3k and ended up spending about $5.5k than another $2k as we furnished with everything new, kitchen cabinets; counter tops, new small fridge, vanilla floors , base boards, paint , and texture. Oh, it’s a small one bedroom studio apartment.
Random dude note: have you considered doing a scheduled publish for your video? That way people know when a new video drops and can possibly engage with you in chat/comments?
How did you learn how to do all the plumbing and work like that, because I would really wanna learn that to do a renovation or project in the future.
I would try Liquidation centres, they will have stuff at bottom prices.
What´s the name of that font? I love it!
Was the 3D rendering from fiver part of the cost? Wondering what cost of those were? Thank you for your transparency 😊
Yes as a person who does a few renos, I learned that everytime you go to Lowes, you spend a hundred bucks. Even if you are just supposedly picking up a few things.
