What would be the order in which to tackle these projects? Our home is old and I don't the walls are dry wall. I'd appreciate any help you can give us. Thanks!!!

Should a bathroom remodeling all be done at once? I am wanting to remodel the entire bathroom. Is it okay to just do the floors and new sink cabinet, etc and then wait until later to do the tub surround area?

Why? the tub will be replaced and I do have a second bathroom to use.

Bathroom remodeling question.? My husband and I would like to demolish our only bathroom and replace everything, do you think we can do a majority of it in a couple of weekends? My husband has little faith or is it just plain lazy. I Wanna tear down ugly wall tile and replace with half drywall and half new wall tile, put in a smaller whirlpool tub and replace wall tile around tub, rip up the tile floor and replace with some ceramic. Eventually, get a new toilet and vanity and cabinet. HGTV has me pumped up! I think we can do it without hiring contractors.

Help me to make a choice with my bathroom remodeling!? Ok, I already have a brand new faucet for the bathroom sink that I picked up last year for very cheap on clearance. It's color is polished brass. Now I am in need of a shower head and handle to match. The only problem is that polished brass is not a popular color and is very pricey. Also, our vanity handles are a dull gold color. I have found a color called brushed bronze, which is a dull gold as well. I was thinking about just buying a new sink fixture and then a shower one in the brushed bronze, since I feel it looks nicer than the shiny gold. But, would it be silly to buy a new sink faucet, when I already have one? My husband thinks we should just get a polished brass shower kit to save money. Would using the brushed bronze increase the value of our home at all, or should I just save money and go with the polished brass?
We are remodeling our bathroom and have asbestos tile in it. How do we remove it? We are remodeling our bathroom and while we were tearing out the cupboards we found that there are three layers of linoleum, the bottom layer of which is asbestos. We can't afford to have a professional come out and do it. Is there any way that we can remove the tile ourselves? We don't want to encapsulate the floor either, we just want to get the asbestos out of there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What are the best selections for remodeling/decorating a small bathroom, specifically, best colors/patterns? I am remodeling my bathroom in my roommates house. So I can't get crazy with the look. My selections should be appealing to the masses. However, I dont want it to be boring. I have always loved the black and white checkered floor look but I dont know if it will work in a small space. I like black and white because i think it can be feminine and/or masculine, contemporary and/or modern and youthful or mature/classy all at the same time. If i went that route with the floor i think i would paint the vanity black and possibly give it the distressed look. But again, i am not sure if such a bold contrast with the black against white will be good for that small of a space.
Remodeling Bathroom Help - Wainscoting or not? I need some in put on an idea I have for my bathroom. Please tell me your opinions... When you walk into the bathroom you stare right at the shower which has a medium blue color to it. To your right is a wall, to the left (working your way from the door to tub) is a closet, vanity/mirror, toilet and then the tub. The vanity is white as well as a cupboard above the toilet... I would like to add white Wainscot bead boarding to the right wall, paint dark brown above the boarding and then accent with brown towels. My floor is the same medium blue as the shower walls. Good idea or not?
Remodeling bathroom floor, need advise, please!? We are getting ready to redo our bathroom floor. I am looking for suggestions on what type of floor to use. We are on a kind of tight budget and pretty much limited to Lowes for supplies so we can use our credit card. We are going to have to gut the floor and lay new floorboards down in addition to whatever flooring we use. Please suggest on what products would be best for a $200-300 total budget, including what to use as floorboard. I do not like vinyl flooring, it always seems to get dented, or ruined when wet. Pergo is way to expensive, plus I don't know about it getting wet. I seem to be leaning towards ceramic tile at the moment. Is a certain size square better or easier? Our room we are doing is about 10 x 8.

What is the average cost of remodeling a bathroom? The bath room is about 6x12. There was titlng place half way up the walls(the floor was not done. The rest of the walls were painted by the contractors), a new toilet, a new bathtub with sliding glass doors, a messager head for the shower, a new cabinet with 4 lights with it, a fan in the bathroom with a way for air to ciruclate out(with a light attached to the fan, a towel rack, a metal toilet paper dispencer and a metal robe hook placed on the bathroom door. That what was done. I do realise that it is difficult to estimated when there are other factors un-answered, but please give me a ball park estimate. I believe the current contractors are charging way too much money for a relativly simple project.
