Bound for Town

Before this house wasn't selling with just one ugly bathroom, but now its brand new look is sure to land a sale. All it needed was a good scrubbing, fresh paint and new cabinetry, lighting and accessories. Taking out the old countertop and bringing in granite to replace it adds loads of value.

Cost breakdown:

vanity $554

lighting $374
