Renew Instead of Replacing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your vanity or cabinets are still functional but look\noutdated, consider renovating them instead of replacing them. To give them a\nnew look while saving a lot of money, you can give them a fresh coat of paint,\nstain, or glaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuse Items for Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make use of all the space in your storage room by finding new\nuses for existing items. Store your bathroom items in jars or baskets or hang\nshelves and hooks on the walls. You can add a pull bar under your sink to\ncreate a second storage level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grout and Caulk Renewal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
