That’s what this article is going to tell you. With a little creativity on your part, you can save a lot of money and have a fantastic outcome. What could be better than getting the bathroom you’ve always wanted at a bargain basement price? </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span>The following three ideas can make it happen for you: </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span></span><span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span>1. The biggest expense saver you can use is to do the work yourself. All this will cost you is your time. By putting in a little time during the evenings and weekends, you’ll have the project finished in a few weeks or less. There are so many ways you can save if you do the work on your own. First of all, you’ll save a bundle on labor costs. Labor can run into really big bucks and often costs more than the materials you will use! You’ll also save by buying your own materials, because there’ll be no additional contractor mark-up. Plus you’ll save on having to pay costs for insurance to cover the work the contractor is doing. </span><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span></span><span>2. The second secret to lowering bathroom remodeling costs is to buy the materials you’ll need at wholesale. Sometimes wholesalers will require that you buy in bulk quantities, but if you have more than one bathroom that needs some work, this could pay off well for you. By purchasing wholesale items, such as flooring materials and paint, you’ll find you can buy the things you need for as much as 75% less than it would cost to buy them at a regular home improvement store. </span><span> </span> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span>3. So what about if you have cracked mirrors or windows in your bathroom that need to be replaced? Those can be expensive items. However, you’ll find that there are a lot of creative ways you can remedy the problems. For example, if your mirror has a small crack in one corner, you can add some type of decorative trim in order to cover the crack. Or you might try taking several pieces of broken mirroring and creating a unique collage out of them. </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p><span></span><span><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div><p> </p><p><span>One way that you can cover up a cracked window is to add decorative moldings or panels that cover part of the window. You can also place shelving in front of the window and then add accessories to the shelves that will cover as much of the window as you need to hide.</span> </p></span><p><strong>About the Author</strong><strong><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 200%"></span></strong> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt">For more info visit: <a href="http://www.bathroomstyleguide.com/"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Tahoma’,’sans-serif’"><font color="#0000ff">http://www.bathroomstyleguide.com</font></span></a></span></p></span>
