We set aside our tax refund this year to make some bathroom updates, and we\u2019re just now getting it all mapped out. The average return these days is about $2000, so I wondered just how far those dollars will go toward an affordable bathroom update.<\/p>\n
You can do most of the projects yourself, so estimates don\u2019t include labor, with the exception of the tile. (Wall tile is tricky business. Trust me\u2026 just hire someone.)<\/p>\n
Bathroom Updates for the Cost of the Average Tax Return<\/b><\/p>\n And the grand total is: $1,235-$1,840! For less than $2,000 you can get the feeling of a whole new bathroom. All that\u2019s left are floors (a new rug can help extend the life of your existing floors), counters (consider a cost-saving pedestal sink if you have plenty of other storage), and fresh cabinet doors (a coat of paint can extend their life). So there you have it, a new bathroom for the cost of a tax return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We set aside our tax refund this year to make some bathroom updates, and we\u2019re just now getting it all mapped out.
