The truth is that in most situations, you don’t need to gut the whole thing to make it great. And unless your str bathroom is in need of serious repairs or major cosmetic updates then you aren’t going to see much of an ROI for a complete overhaul. The good news is that even the smallest changes, like swapping out cabinet pulls or installing new light fixtures, can really transform a space without blowing your budget or taking your rental offline for weeks. ______________________________________ For links to some of our favorite options in each category discussed today, check out our Bathroom Updates blog post: www.arrivls.com/bathroomreno ______________________________________ Shop bathroom favorites on our Amazon storefront: www.arrivls.com/amazon ______________________________________ Our full STR Supply List: www.arrivls.com/supplies We also have several products on Amazon Subscribe & Save to get the best pricing possible: www.arrivls.com/subscribeandsave ______________________________________ Where we source cabinets and countertops in southern California: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rJUdhUT9wxg6Rz797?g_st=i Ask for James! ______________________________________ Toilet flange seal that Steven mentioned: https://amzn.to/4gvGDKy ______________________________________ DIY Resources from other @EverydayHomeRepairs - Scott creates solid and easy to follow content.
