With home buyers’ expectations rising with prices, it is smart for home sellers to do at least minor tune-ups where available.  Here we spent less than $1,000 to make the master bathroom look modern and clean with a new counter, faucet and light (the cabinet and mirror are the originals):

This project was for our Carlsbad entry-level townhome.  For higher-priced homes, I would get the most unique, though neutral, counter I could find. I’m not sure that it matters if it is granite or quartz – as long as it looks great!
