Here it is, all the details of How to How to Design a Modern Master Bathroom Refresh! This DIY was a two step process. The photos below show 2020 vs 2018 vs 2016 (which really could also say 1989.) While this bathroom really needs an entire remodel, I broke down some major changes and spent less than $1K, because done is better than perfect. When purchased in 2016 the house needed.some.work! Naturally the master bath ended up being the last on the to do list both times.
