By the late 1860's, Darwin came to describe this process as the survival of the fittest. This is very different from Lamarck's incorrect idea that the environment altered the shape of individuals and that these acquired changes were then inherited.
On average, you should budget $10,000 to $30,000 for a bathroom remodel, says Paloma Contreras, a Houston-based interior designer behind La Dolce Vita and member of the National Kitchen & Bath Associationâs new trend forecasting panel, the NKBA K+B Insiders.
Remodeling a bathroom can recoup you as much as 64% ROI according to Remodeling Magazine, while potentially making the home easier to sell as well. Both Remodeling Magazine and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) put the average cost of a full-scale bathroom remodel around $18,000 nationally. However, the size of the bathroom is probably the biggest driving force behind the costs, with most bathrooms costing around $125 per square foot installed; the larger the bathroom, the higher the cost. So, while a 150 square foot Master bath will cost closer to $18,000, a small half bath would cost closer to $5,000.
