The weather is getting cooler and naturally we gravitate indoors where we spend the winter months hunkered down in our homes.  We start to look around and wonder what we can do to improve our spaces - whether it's gain more organization or update the bathroom.  Our clients often times want to tackle several projects and wonder if they can do it all at once.  Sometimes it's a simple face-lift to a space that's needed to update it.  We find this to be the case in small bathrooms such as a powder room on the main level.  If you’re looking at your bathroom right now and wondering what could be updated to make a big impact that won't break the bank, we've come up with our top 5 simple and affordable ways for you to update your bathroom on a pretty doable budget!
