One easy and fast way: Upgrade the sinks. Have you taken a look at your sinks recently? They're probably awful, if you get right down to it: years of soapy buildup, toothpaste-y residue, nicks here and there, and general fading-ness have worn them down to where they're just... pleh.
For a lot less time and money than you'd think, you can replace a sink and improve the way the whole room looks. I know this for a fact, because I did it in our kitchen. And now I'll probably do the same thing in our bathrooms, especially because I can get new porcelain undermount sinks from MR Direct Sinks and Faucets, and they're way less expensive than the shabby junk found at big box stores.
This is the one I want to get for the upstairs bathroom:
Nice, isn't it? Fancy, like the kind of sink you'd find in, I don't know, the house of someone who didn't spend most of Saturday playing "Number Circus" with his twins instead of cleaning the bathroom like he was supposed to.
It's not just nice looking, either. It's true Vitreous China and fully insulated, and comes with all the hardware I'll need and a LIFETIME WARRANTY. I'm big on warranties, and here's why: If a company promises to fix a defect for the lifetime of the product, they're pretty sure they won't have to do that, meaning the product must be pretty good. And if it's not? I get a new one. Win-win.
That little sink is only $29, too, which is cheap enough that I could get a couple other porcelain sinks from them, like the rectangular undermount sink for the middle bathroom, and do all of the sinks in one weekend. They can even do same day shipping, if I want, so I could get the stuff here while I'm still interested in doing that work, and before the next round of "Number Circus."
