a 84" wide pocket curtain rod
10 coffee cups
a 30" vanity
a 12" wide 72" tall shelf tower to match the vanity
31" vanity top
all of these were new items from my favorite home improvement store: Hoods.
It's a dumpy looking end lots kind of home improvement/ hardware store in our area. The prices are so good- if they have it.

This (except for the curtain rod and coffee cups) and a coat of paint will complete our bathroom remodel. We started it early this year when the tub developed a leak which went under the vinyl floor and was damaging the subfloor. In the end, we replaced the tub, the floor, and the vanity. Instead of a tub/shower unit, we decided to go with a tub and just tile the shower stall and floor. Hoods had all their wall tiles on sale for 1 cent each, so that made it really inexpensive.

I think this unscheduled remodel cost less than $700 total. The most expensive part was the concrete board for under all the tile. That came from Lowes and with the tub cost more than half of what we spent. I hope dh installs the sink and vanity soon. We haven't had one in there for a couple of months now.
