When it comes to home updates, bathroom remodels can make a major impact, both for daily enjoyment and for future resale value. That was exactly the focus when Ms. Atrushi came to Team Renovate for her second main bathroom renovation in La Mesa, CA.

She wanted a space that felt bright, fresh, and luxurious, but neutral and timeless enough to appeal to future homebuyers. Here's how we delivered a bathroom transformation that checks every box.

The Challenge | Dated Finishes That Didn't Reflect Modern Tastes

Although the space was generously sized, the original bathroom felt dark, dated, and disconnected from the fresh, clean look today's homeowners love. Outdated wallpaper, dark cabinetry, and aging lighting fixtures weighed the space down, making it feel less welcoming.


Our goal? Keep the functional layout but refresh every surface, blending classic elegance with modern updates to maximize long-term home value.

Our Solution | Luxury, Longevity, and Light

Working closely with our in-house designer, we proposed a full cosmetic overhaul focused on:


  • Opening up the space visually with lighter tones and clean finishes.

  • Choosing durable, high-end materials that would age gracefully.

  • Balancing modern touches (like sleek vanities and brushed nickel fixtures) with classic elements that wouldn't go out of style.

  • Subtle luxury through details like recessed lighting, elegant tilework, and a refined soaking tub.

We kept the project efficient by retaining the layout, allowing us to focus budget on the visible updates that matter most.

The Renovation Details | A Fresh Start Without Starting Over

This project involved a full cosmetic remodel, including:



  • Removing all outdated wallpaper and replacing it with neutral, modern wall tile and paint.

  • Installing sleek new vanities with contemporary countertops.

  • Upgrading sinks and fixtures to polished brushed nickel.

  • Replacing the tub with a simpler, elegant soaking tub with a clean-lined surround.

  • Adding recessed lighting for a brighter, more inviting atmosphere.

  • Refreshing the space without changing the functional plumbing layout, smart for budget and resale value.

The end result is a clean, luxurious, and welcoming space that feels brand new, ready for everyday enjoyment and future market appeal.
