Updating our Outdated Kitchen and Bathrooms
After deciding that we couldn't afford to sell our home and buy a new house in this economy, we decided to renovate our outdated house. We started with the bathrooms and worked our way to the kitchen. We had to completely demolish two bathrooms and decided to go with new sinks, shower units and bathroom vanities. We saved money by using RTA (ready to assemble) cabinets on all parts of our renovations. This included RTA kitchen cabinets (in the kitchen) and RTA bathroom vanities and other cabinets in the bathroom.
First the bathroom vanity was an instant hit with our renovation project. It was easy to assemble and it went together quickly (easy directions, four sides, and a few other easy parts). The vanity was a perfect fit for the double sink. The double sink bathroom vanity fit nicely in our new bathroom and was a practical addition because we have two kids. Now each child can have their own sink. Plus having a double sink bathroom vanity increases bathroom appeal and overall house value. (We found that many families look for the double sink).
The RTA linen closet was surprisingly tall. It measured eighty four (84) inches tall and was eighteen inches wide. Note: I also found that there is a twenty four inch wide linen closet as well. In regards to assemblage -- the linen closet was just like the RTA bathroom vanity, it assembled quickly and easy. It also looked fantastic! Same thing for the cabinet above the toilet or accurately named “the tank topper”; these RTA tank toppers look wonderful above the toilet and give the bathroom a finished look. Overall the new kid’s bathroom now looks great. The double sink bathroom vanity completes a grand new bathroom.
In our master bath we decided to use an RTA bathroom vanity, but only went with a large single bowl sink. The color style was a heritage cherry, which is a dark cherry and again we were completely happy with the RTA product. We also used a matching cherry tank topper, but did not have space for a linen closet. In the end the bathroom looked great.
One more thing that I wanted to mention about the double bowl bathroom vanity and the RTA products; including the RTA kitchen cabinets is where we purchased the cabinets. Originally we went to our local hardware super store or you might know it as Lowe’s. We were thinking that this was the best place to buy these products, but fortunately we shopped around and found much better prices online. Yes, buying these products off of the internet actually saved us over two thousand dollars! (This savings included the RTA kitchen cabinets.) I just thought I should mention this because originally, when we started shopping for the double bowl sink vanity, we thought the best prices would be from a retail store, but we were pleasantly surprised to not only find the sink, but also the vanities and kitchen cabinet online and at a better price. So keep this in mind, look online and compare prices before you decide to buy bathroom sinks, vanities or kitchen cabinets.
