The walls are covered with a vinyl type wallpaper (Lowe's) that allows me to wipe down any splatters or injection squirts. I just made sure that all the plywood screws were countersunk real good and just gave it a rough sand-down with a palm sander.
The floor tiles (Lowe's) are elcheapo peel/stick ones and the floor sealer (Lowe's) is one that the tile manufacturer recommends. I just sort of damp mopped it down waited 10 minutes for it dry and went again. I did about 5 or 6 coats.
The cabinets/counters are SUPER cheapy ones from a local scratch & dent warehouse. The microwave and fridge are refugees from my daughter's dorm room.
The point to all of this is that it can be done really cheaply if your willing to shop around, be creative, and do the work yourself. I should have the bathroom finished this weekend. I can post a couple pix of it and the rest of the man cave if interested.
