Bathroom remodeling secret you MUST know!

It's no secret that kitchens and bathrooms are key in selling (and enjoying) a home however most remodeling projects, though important, have a low return on investment and cause anxiety for most homeowners.

To relieve some of the headache, Lowe’s has put together complete bathrooms remodeling packages! Last I checked, there were 7 collection to choose from for you remodeling project and the basic 1/2 bath project was only about $500 for materials!

From floor tile and faucets to drawer pulls and soap dishes — this takes the angst out of decision-making and makes sure you have a more universally appealing result.  Though you have to measure and make a few educated choices like plumbing fixtures, light fixture, under-mount sinks, tile, and paint, this is a no-brainier especially if you are design impaired.

After you measure your space, in about 30 minutes online at  Lowe’s Home Improvement you'll have your new bathroom picked out and ready for shipping.

If you are struggling, a call to Lowe’s customer service or a visit to the store will have you sorted out quickly.


Aren't you happy you read this?!?
