 Hello you guys, welcome back to my channel. Drew here from Lone Fox. Today we have another makeover. I have been so into makeovers lately. I've just been liking larger scale projects. So that's why I'm giving you guys and we have a rental friendly bathroom makeover. This is a small bathroom and this is my friend Hannah and Jared's bathroom. Hi guys, I'm Hannah. I'm Jared. This is our first apartment together and we love it so much but we have an issue with the bathroom. It's honestly super boring and there's actually no storage. Yeah. We moved in about a year and a half ago and we have touched like every other room in the house but are just so stuck on what to do in the bathroom. So we're excited to have Drew's help. We've been watching his videos forever and we've known Drew. I went to school with him so we're really excited to have his help and we can't wait to see what you do. Thank you Drew. Thank you. When I first saw Hannah and Jared's bathroom, I loved it and there was also some issues with it that Hannah told me about. She basically mentioned that there is zero storage in this entire bathroom which is 100% true. It is a very, very small space just by off of viewing it here. I bet you it's like a good six by six walkable area in here but my favorite part was the tile work. There's really pretty tile work which to me is a great base so we are going to just update this space, keep it all 100% rental friendly but this video is going to have so many really fun techniques, crafting DIY projects and all around I think you guys are really going to gain something from this video if you have a rental. So stay tuned and let's get started. I'm fully wet. I'm in the shower and I turned it on on accident. So what I was trying to do before rudely being interrupted by the shower spraying on me was share with you guys the first step of this process. So lighting in here is also a little crazy. We want to create some under the sink storage in here and I want to do it rental friendly so we can basically create like a pull out vanity so when they leave they can essentially remove it or you know if the landlord wants to keep it for some reason they can also do so and what I was thinking was actually to create a wood piece on the left side here, wood piece on the right side here and then create some shelving within and of course the shelving that's higher up is just going to have to be in front of the piping here but we have a pretty decent amount of space probably like 12 inches before the front of the cabinet so I think you could actually work really well and I'm going to take some measurements and then head down and kind of share with you guys how I'm going to construct this rental friendly vanity situation. For the materials you're going to need I grabbed three sheets of this three-quarter inch wide plywood. This is two foot by four foot from Lowe's. They were $14.50 each and you're going to need three of them for this project. Now what I started off by doing was just measuring the height of my sink and also the depth of it because we're going to want to create two sides and of course this is going to totally vary per situation so I'm just cutting out those two sides using my circular saw and a ruler. A little update on our DIY vanity situation. I have cut the left panel and right panel and bottom panel. Something that I noticed is that the floor has actually slanted a little bit downwards because if you can tell there is no gap down here at the bottom but there is a pretty large gap up here and when I push this back it literally makes it perfectly flush which was the measurement that I had measured for. So I think I'm going to go ahead and construct this and just kind of like screw the side pieces to the bottom and then find just a small piece of wood that I could tuck under this bottom lip to tilt it all back just a tiny bit but it's just going to make it more level in the end and then we're going to add a couple of shelves in here as well and then this is of course going to be painted in a later step. So I drilled the bottom to the two sides so we have a nice base here. Now once we add in the shelf it's going to be a lot more stable because as you can see currently kind of looks like it doesn't meet up but once we have the shelves in it's going to pull it back. I'm going to have to target quickly. I'm going to see just because there's a target around the corner if I could find some baskets to fit in the shelving over there just because I want to see what is available and then we could make the shelves for it and the vanity situation will be done and then we could work on the wall. To create the shelves for this piece you're just going to cut them out based off the dimensions you need for your space and then I'm using these L brackets here and I'm going to be screwing them onto the underside of each shelf and I'm going to be doing two on each side. That way we could essentially slide it in as shown here and then I'm using my drill just to screw into the side of those L brackets and have the shelf essentially be mounted inside. Now I actually use the baskets that I purchased and flipped them sideways which allowed my shelf to sit on top and then I could easily just screw in the shelf from the side and it was a perfect height for those baskets then of course fit back in once I had the shelves up and I just love the way this vanity turned out. I also like that there's a little shelf at the top for some more open concept storage. The RDIY bathroom vanity storage rental friendly solution has been created and it's perfect. This is exactly what I was envisioning. We have four large more closed off storage bins which are great and these are pretty substantial. I mean you could probably fit a good amount of products in there and then up here I'm going to use it as more of like an open concept to display maybe like a decor piece and then a couple of you know cotton rounds, flossers, whatever they might be like just easy access items up there and it's nice because you really can't see any of the plumbing when you're standing and of course there's not going to be people like sitting in the shower looking over there. It looks so great and it's going to be painted of course. This is just a solid one for the time being. Our vanity is complete and I'm so excited to add a coat of paint to that tomorrow but we have our storage solution added but now we need to spice up these walls but something about the space is that we are not allowed to paint. The landlord said no painting at all but I found an ultimate solution so of course we could do you know a peel and stick wallpaper but I didn't want to just do a pattern to peel and stick wallpaper. I really wanted to do like a wall treatment and I thought bead board would look great in here. However, bead board is not temporary it's not rental friendly until I found a wallpaper version of bead board and it is essentially like an embossed kind of foamy material fully paintable. It resembles bead board but of course I can't apply permanent wallpaper to these walls in here that is not rental friendly so I kind of looked up a solution online. I went on Google and I was like how can you make permanent wallpaper temporary and I came across this tutorial by Kelly from Studio DIY. I know her and she did a tutorial on putting painter's tape down first and then putting the wallpaper over the top of it which essentially creates kind of a barrier between the wall and the wallpaper itself so we're going to be taping off half the wall. Day one complete all of the tape has been added onto more like the bottom 40% of the wall but it's all taped off ready for our wallpaper application tomorrow so I'll catch you guys here in the morning. Good morning guys day two over at Hannah and Jared's apartment. I'm in the bathroom and this morning I was a little bit nervous honestly because I woke up and I was like okay what I need to do today is go get some double-sided tape and I looked up places to get it at and there was like no double-sided tape available anywhere at least in the quantities that I needed so I was like what am I going to do like how am I going to apply this to the wall because essentially I needed a good amount of double-sided tape that was very strong and everything came in really small amounts it was expensive I didn't realize that. I probably should have done a bit more research prior however this wallpaper is pasteable so I decided to do just a little sample of it and I pasted on just one strip of our beadboard wallpaper and it looks really good you guys and it was not messy not crazy at all I thought it was going to be like really bad to paste on over the top of the tape not bad whatsoever it just went right over the top of it super simply and easily seems to be working out well so far I'm going to continue on with the process and let you guys know how it goes. This wallpaper was surprisingly pretty easy to work with now something I will say is once it is wet it becomes a lot more delicate so you do have to be very very careful with it however this is my first time ever doing paste wallpaper and I just wetted it in the shower and I applied it on the wall it was not messy in any way I thought it was actually pretty simple and I would definitely do paste wallpaper again I've always heard like bad things about it but it wasn't too bad. So far so good with the beadboard wallpaper it actually goes on pretty easily and a lot of the reviews said that it's really hard to work with but it actually isn't too bad I will say that it does rip really easily I actually had a tiny little rip right here I ripped the corner off but I'm hoping once this is painted of course I will kind of camouflage that area there but it is looking really nice all the way across this is all shadows don't think this is rippling I've been looking at this and I'm like oh my gosh what did I do it's shadows from this window because when I kind of stand in front of it if you guys can tell they go away and as this dries it does shrink up a little bit and kind of create a smoother finish as well going to apply our last piece here and then we're going to select a paint color good morning everyone day three I believe over at Hannah and Jared and I walked in to such a lovely site this morning because the wallpaper looks perfect I was a little nervous yesterday as it was drying I just wanted to make sure that of course it wasn't going to soak through the tape it wasn't going to ripple look how perfect that looks and I already peeled back like a little bit of tape on one of the corners to make sure it didn't soak through we are golden it is basically removable wallpaper now now we have to go through and paint it all and then we're going to add a trim piece on top to cover these rough edges I want to just wrap up all of the larger kind of elements in this bathroom so we can get to the fun part which is adding the decor now of course you're going to want to go through and tape off any areas you don't want your paint to hit and I did actually tape mine off pretty generously just to ensure that absolutely zero paint was going to get anywhere on the walls so when it comes to doing like the edging of all of this which is essentially where I painted it I'm really going to go in with a dry brush because I don't want any excess to kind of pull out of the paper or anything and I'm just going to like really dry brush this on as opposed to like heavy handedly apply it because we don't want it to bleed on anything that it could potentially ruin our first coat of paint is currently drying and I figured while it's drying I'm going to swap out our light fixture up here the medicine cabinet opens right under the shade so I had to find one that wouldn't kind of pop down too much and I'm hoping this one will work we're gonna have to give it a go we had a little change in plans with the light thankfully I ordered two lights because the mounting plate that was already up here or I guess the mounting box that's installed in the wall only had holes on the top and bottom but the light before can only be mounted in the top and bottom so thankfully I ordered this light as well I wasn't sure which one I wanted to use and I was just going to return one of them but this one has the mounting on the left and right side which is perfect I'm going to flip it upwards it's supposed to be mounted down like this but I'm going to flip it up and I already got it working you guys and it's kind of cute actually so let's get that up on the wall second coat has been applied on I'm on FaceTime with Erica right now showing her the room I'm going to go through and remove the tape so we can see what it looks like tape is removed and we are going to work on the vanity next the first thing I'm going to do to it is apply on this edging here which is like heat activated edging that's just going to make it a lot smoother on the front so when we paint it it's going to look a lot more cohesive and the color I'm going to be painting the vanity is actually the same color as the architectural digest bookcase it is called wheat bread and mount the roman shades that I actually created a couple nights ago I just did these when I knew I was going to do this project just to have them done guys I love the roman shade it looks perfect in here I wanted to add something just to the top of the window that gave you the option of opening and closing it and I actually created these with some really kind of slubby linen fabric and I just love how they turned out I followed the same tutorial I always do I will link it below for you guys it's by the DIY mommy I figured that if you want a really great like in-depth tutorial definitely watch her video as opposed to me inserting like a little tutorial in here I added a small screw just right in the crack here which you never see if you were to remove it it's literally like in this tiny little slit of wall and it allows you to open and close them so the last thing I'm probably going to do today is just go downstairs and cut the trim pieces for all the way around the edge here let me just actually go downstairs and share with you guys a trim so these guys are the trim right here they have a slight little like scalloped detail to them like a bottom ridge and then a larger middle and then a top so it's a really simple trim piece and I'm going to cut these down I already measured all the sizes that I need and then we're going to apply it with some velcro strips so here is a look at the trim after it's velcroed on it has the slightest slightest little gap in there but of course totally rental friendly look at this you guys just pop it right off and it just covers up those edges there and then you just remove the wallpaper when you're ready to move out so let's just apply the last couple pieces look at this site I just walked into you guys how great is this bathroom looking so far and I know that there's still some tape here I ended up actually wrapping a piece around because the wallpaper just wasn't cutting very nicely and it looked very just not clean so I'm going to paint this the same color white as the wall currently and it's just going to be on there and then when they remove it it'll just come right off but we are going to be adding all of the fun details today the decor I have some artwork here I might do a frame around the mirror but I'm also really just liking the mirror itself without a frame which is kind of strange I thought I'd really want to frame on there light fixture looks incredible vanity looks perfect but let's get to styling this space I haven't even said hi today hi guys I'm so excited this is turning out so pretty all right let's get going so I have yet to share this art piece with you guys but I got this at the Roseville flea market a couple weeks back I actually did like a little takeover for the Lonnie magazine Instagram and I found this at the flea market and I was so in love with it when I found it it is a really beautiful hand-painted art piece and I just loved the framing on this like look at the dimension on the backside of how many layers there are and I thought this would add so much drama right above the toilet you guys I'm really excited about this now of course this bathroom is on the smaller side so I knew I wanted to keep the decor pretty minimal but I wanted to core that release just spoke to the room and just enhanced everything overall so I found really unique pieces like this vase here I found this beautiful candle which I love so much I popped back in the baskets for drawers in the vanity and then I just added a couple of other simple touches like a hand towel a wall hook and a frame and just a couple other bits of decor around the space righty you guys the bathroom is complete and this makeover I am absolutely in love with that I'm actually pretty shocked with the way that it turned out it turned out better than I expected it is beautiful it looks like a fully designed bathroom I cannot believe this is rental friendly first of all and I did all of this for under 300 dollars in here of course this bathroom had great bones and if you hear that rattling there's a lot of wind happening outside and it just has really beautiful tile work in here so I wanted to kind of use it as a base and just give their drab bathroom a little bit more of an update sadly there's not going to be a reveal with Hannah and Jared just because with work and their schedule it just didn't really align up for a reveal however they are going to love it I hope um and I'm going to reveal it to you guys right about now well I just filmed everything and forgot to put the soap dispenser in so that's what
