The list of other stuff that needs to be done:
February 1-3: Floor
Regrout ($12) and seal ($10) the tile -
We will also need to invest in some kneepads ($10)
We are keeping this weekend simple because we might be going out of town one day
February 8-10: Ceiling and Walls
Scrape ceiling (already bought the ceiling scraper for $18 - this is an investment that will be reused throughout the house, though)
Repaint ceiling ($12)
Put up new wallpaper border (order online ahead of time!$25 for 15 ft)
Also need to add an electrical plug beside the vanity mirror while we are working on the walls (couple of $ for the wire, box, and plug - and I think I want a wood faceplate @$4)
Keeping the light fixture we have above sink - love it!
We MIGHT consider a new light fixture for the recessed ceiling light, or at least paint the one we have white.
Rehang the mirror trim
Decide what to do about the existing UGLY medicine cabinet (maybe reuse the shelving parts of the over-toilet spacesaver (because I have an idea about what to do over the toilet)
Put up door facing and baseboard trim (seen it anywhere from 79 cents a foot to $1.40 a foot - gonna have to decide and pick exactly what style I want for the entire house)
February 15-17: Vanity
Rebuild the vanity with oak beadboard ($13) - include some slidy drawer things or shelves inside
We'll also need new hinges and some of that iron-on wood laminate strips for the edges of the doors.
Maybe panel the side of the tub with oak beadboard and possibly create a shelf or ledge off the side (or we might wait and do this when we do the shower fixtures)
I like the handles that are on the vanity now, so I'll just re-use those
We have a piece of granite that we got from our neighbor that we want to use for the countertop and backsplash. We either need to get a quote to have the sink hole and sides cut OR I read that you can do it with a diamond-blade ($40) skill saw
The brass faucets at Home Depot are $40, but we saw some for $30something at Sutherlands
February 22-24: Tub, Toilet, and Finishing Touches
We are going to need a brass shower curtain rod for the toilet tank project and some way of building or re-creating the toilet tank wall shelf
Brass shower fixtures (ranging from $9 for the drain to $35 for the shower head - but I THINK I saw a kit with the whole thing for $40 or so)
New toilet lid ($20 or so at Walmart)
New towels and washcloths ($5 towels, $4 hand towels, $3 washcloths at Walmart)
Budget Projection:
$300 (average $75 a week)
