Sometimes you need to upgrade a bathroom, but you don't want to spend on a full gut and renovation, or you simply don't have the time.
You can redo your bathroom in a week, believe it or not, for under $1,500. (Caveat: purchases and labor tend to fluctuate.)
Replace your toilet with an elongated, chair height piece.
