Finally, a three-day weekend is just around the corner. It feels like an eternity since many of us have had a long weekend. In fact, for countless people, the last day off they had was January 1st. While many of us are chomping at the bit to head out for a mini vacation, the likelihood of that happening due to COVID-19 is small. This stinks.

However, not all is lost, and there are lots of other fun things that can be done in lieu of traveling. There are mini renovations you can do to your home that can be started and completed between Saturday and Monday. No major construction is needed, and all basic renovations can be done by...YOU!

One of the easiest spaces to implement a mini makeover is the bathroom. Much of upgrading this room comes down to swapping out old fixtures for new and more modern units.

Replacing a bathroom faucet, shower head, and bathtub hardware, is a simple task that really has a huge impact. There are many designs to choose from to complete these tasks.

Changing out your current faucet from a 1975 model to a more modern faucet, such as a waterfall faucet, is a great way to bring your bathroom into 2020.

In your shower area, replacing your shower head will not only update the space, but may also end up giving you better water pressure. Calcium and iron buildup frequently corrode and clog even the priciest of shower heads. This buildup tampers with water flow and freshness. Changing out your shower head reduces your risk of polluted water being released from it. This is one of the easiest of all renovations for your bathroom. A new 8-jet shower head will not only look cleaner in your shower, but will also clean YOU better.

Once you replace your shower head, you will probably notice that your bathtub’s faucet now looks horribly dated next to your shiny new addition. Changing out your bathtub faucet will make your shower renovation complete. A Roman tub faucet will add a contemporary touch, and instantly bring your bathing experience into the modern age. These tub faucets have a high-class look and are most often found in affluent homes. A Roman tub faucet will take your tub from ho-hum to regal in a matter of minutes.

Updating your bathroom doesn’t have to cost five figures. In fact, the replacement suggestions above can all be done for under $300. Additionally, these replacements do not need the assistance of a costly plumber. You can do all these upgrades with your own two hands, and still have the bulk of your weekend to relax...or simply enjoy your fresh new bathroom.
