didn't get a chance to see my flooring makeover video i will link it in the description box below also in conjunction with this renter friendly bathroom series i want to challenge you guys to spruce up your rental bathrooms so make sure you check the description box below because i'm going to have a really cool spot like bathroom checklist that you can download for free so let's jump right into this video my first tip is to use daylight bulbs in the bathroom especially if you don't have a window how everything looks so yellow and nasty who wants to take a selfie in this type of bathroom just by changing out your light bulbs guys you can upgrade your space instantly refresh your bathtub my bathtub is off the chain and there seems to be nothing that i can do i don't know that's why i just i don't really like this towel but you know what can you do when you rent you just be grateful for the towel that you have and make it work now you see this this is very very very bad mold and it happens like maybe a few showers in it's back so instead of me breaking my arm like i usually do i want to try this product and i want you guys to see if it works with me but i found this instant mold and mildew stain remover plus it blocks stains and it's supposed to work in just 15 seconds rmr86 new improved formula might be my new secret weapon because i can't stand cleaning the bathtub all right so it's been about a minute or two i haven't even wiped it off but the pink stuff is gone that's crazy look i'm just about to wipe it yo this stuff works this stuff works yo this stuff works it's a little pink right here but it was mad pink and black it's gone all the mold is gone come through amazon come through i gotta hit that spot again but that's a big difference literally it's been one minute now this stuff is kind of strong okay i'm reporting live from the bathroom this stuff works really good guys it's pretty strong though so you may have to wear a mask no i did not have a mask because so i had to put together two bra pads and i got a these are not underwear guys this is a a bra strapless bra so yeah i didn't even touch it yet all i gotta do is wipe it down that is the goat guys this stuff is the goat all right guys so you know i live in south florida and the humidity is very high consistently and i think that's why i see a lot of mold problems but i finally got down to the real source you see this here there is nothing behind it whoever installed the tile they just put a bunch of caulk and they didn't put like this cement behind it so everything that you see on the left hand side which is basically the sub wall or whatever and for me to fix that and for the mold to not come back i needed to remove everything and then i had to go to home depot and pick up some pre-mixed adhesive and grout i used bright white and what i really like about this stuff is you can use it for two different things one the area that you see that's dark i filled that in so it was nice and hard once everything was dry and then i also re-grouted the tiles using this product also and it also is good for repairs because i don't know if you can see that there is a little crack in the the tile i fixed that with this little product also so you just need a sponge and what i'm doing here is just cleaning everything making sure everything is completely dry because at this point i had cleaned all of the tiles really well scrubbed them and i'm just going to basically re-grout with bright white pre-mixed grouts and fix the corner as well as put the grout in that area on the left side that was black and then i'm gonna caulk all around it and it really has lasted cover your countertops with marble contact paper okay so moving on you guys saw that i applied marble contact paper in the kitchen and what i did was i had leftover contact paper so i just added it to the vanity top in this bathroom this marble countertop contact paper has been in the bathroom over a year i applied it at the same time that i applied the kitchen countertops so yeah love it in the bathroom as well i will include a link to that video in the description box below but if i had to give you guys any suggestions on how to apply this in the bathroom i used two halves and i just started in the middle and everything worked out and i also added caulking around the contact paper as well critical space equals storage solutions so i asked you guys what you had some issues with when it came to the bathroom and most of you guys said storage and i know exactly how you feel because i had the same issues before i redecorated the living room i had my bookshelf in the living room and i had this black shelf in the office closet but what i did was i removed the lock shelf out of that room because i realized that it fit perfectly next to the toilet and the sink and then i moved the bookshelf back into the office wardrobe room and it just really made so much sense and so the number one tip i would give you guys if you're struggling with storage is to use your vertical space [Music] okay moving on i needed to add another mirror in this bathroom once i added the shelf and i took care of my storage problems then i realized that the next issue that i needed to tackle was the fact that one the bathroom felt small two two people use this bathroom and bae is six two so i can never try to brush my teeth if he's brushing his teeth or whatever so i just decided to put another mirror although we don't have double sinks just having two mirrors makes the bathroom a lot more functional so i picked up this mirror from ikea it was only like 12.99 and by the way if you're getting value from this video give it a thumbs up and if you've learned something please share it because if you learned it and it helped you out trust me it'll help somebody else out [Music] too frame your bathroom mirror when i first moved in i tried to frame the mirror using the wood technique but it just really didn't work so what i used was some 50 cent electrical tape and guys this stuff is amazing it didn't cost much and it makes the biggest impact i'm telling you it gave the bathroom a modern look and i applied this sometime in 2019 and it's been going strong [Music] it hasn't fallen down and the bathroom mirror has some imperfections in the corner so it really did help with this little ugly part of the mirror [Music] cover your cabinets with contact paper [Music] if you guys want to see a very detailed tutorial on how to do so i will leave a link in the description box as well as you can

simply clean your old grout lines just using some good old toilet bowl cleaner i use the works in my kitchen and guys it made the biggest difference and i also wanted to address that a lot of people left comments saying that it was going to ruin the towel and it definitely didn't i never had to use it more than once once i got all of that dirt and debris up then i just kept the floor looking nice and it never built up again so that's a tip from me trust me it works [Music] hang textured wall art i had this old shirt that i was about to donate and then i looked at it and i was like oh my gosh
