the best $5,000 ever spent

long weekends are the best. especially in the diermann household where an extra day means that the master bathroom renovation that has been 90% finished since november gets completed! jenna and brad diermann, florida homeowners, raenovate frequenters and before + after wizards, really worked their magic when it came to spiffing up their master bathroom. they liked the layout but the almond toilet and tile, oak cabinets, carpeted vanity area, and formica countertops had to go! with the goal of creating a modern floridian rustic spa in place, they went to work. they replaced the vanity and fixtures, retiled the floor, added a backsplash, reglazed the almond tile white, and accessorized up a storm, all for under $5,000. the result is stunning and certainly as or even more impressive than any five star spa the state of florida has to offer.
