Bathroom rehab- What would you do?

[Jerome Morelos]

Hello BP, I'm in the process of rehabbing my first property and wanted to get advice on how to tackle the bathrooms. Keep or replace the vanities? keep or remove small window in the first picure? Retile shower or re glaze?

Note: I plan to live in this property and turn it into a rental in the future.

If you are going to live there and then turn it into a rental, I wouldn't invest too much cash, but I would do a refresh. Even renters like good design. I'd leave the window (more light is always better), paint the bottom of the vanity a pop of color, swap out the mirror and pulls to something more updated and I would reglaze the tub and tiles. I'd do a fresh white to brighten it all up. 

Rentals in modern color schemes rent quicker. So I'd probably wait to do this until right before you are ready to leave and rent it out. That way it is fresh and updated for the first renter.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
