Hey everyone! My boyfriend is a contractor and he's taken on the task of remodeling our master bathroom, but there's a catch—I have to handle all the research and decisions, plus purchase everything. The problem is, our bathroom has been mostly gutted for nearly a year now because I feel completely overwhelmed by the options available. While I have some ideas, I find myself second-guessing everything and struggling to commit to any choices.
What I'm really looking for is someone with experience who can help guide me. Ideally, I want to send them photos and discuss what I envision, so they can provide a list of what I need and recommend where to buy the items. Our bathroom is pretty small (about 5ft by 7-8ft) and I'm not making any structural changes other than converting the tub to a shower. I'm aiming for a very neutral, basic aesthetic—nothing fancy.
Does anyone know if this kind of service exists? I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations or insights on costs!

I’ve been through a bathroom remodel myself. If you’re feeling lost, just start simple. Buy a tub, and pick out wall tiles and floor tiles. Once you have those basics down, ask your boyfriend for specifics on what you need like fittings and accessories. Sometimes it's best not to overthink it—neutral colors are a safe bet, and you can’t go wrong with classic white!
I totally relate! It sounds like your boyfriend wants you to handle all the decisions while he just gets to do the fun part of the work. I'd suggest checking out some local showrooms like Kellers—they often have staff who can help you pick out the right materials for your bathroom remodel. They can give you advice based on your space and needs, which might take a lot of the pressure off you! Also, don’t overthink it; going with classic white tiles and fixtures can keep it simple and stylish.
