Installing a new shower? Unless you’re getting a walk-in shower or a bathtub/shower insert — which sometimes only requires a shower curtain — you’ll need to select a type of shower door. Here’s some information to help you choose.  Sliding shower doors Sliding shower doors , also referred to as bypass doors, take up the least bathroom space of any type of shower door because they never expand inside or outside the shower. They typically consist of two to three panels that slide past each other on tracks along the top and bottom of the door. Because sliding shower doors come with at least two panels, they’re best used in wide shower openings measuring at least 60 inches. Framed sliding shower doors at a quarter- inch glass thickness , uninstalled, typically cost $175 to $500.  Round shower doors Round shower doors, unlike most other types, open inward. They are ideal for corner showers. The curved glass gives you more elbow room, and the lack of a corner gives your bathroom more o

Standard Bathroom Design and Sizes

A typical home bathroom has been one of the smaller rooms in the house for decades. Only in recent years have larger bathrooms emerged that include room for a whirlpool tub and dressing table. A standard full bath still works well if clutter is kept to a minimum and extra storage space is available in a nearby room or hallway. Typical Bath Dimensions A standard bathroom measures 5 feet by 8 feet. It has a bath-shower combo, sink and toilet. You will need to allow these dimensions to create a full bath; however, you can create a 6-by-6- foot small bathroom with a corner shower if space is tight. Design the standard bath by using graph paper to create various layouts in relation to the entry door. Storage Ideas Planning adequate storage makes a standard bath work well. It’s usually a good idea to have closet space in a hallway or bedroom. Stacks of towels and toiletries can be stored in that closet. Basic bath and dressing items can be stored in a vanity cabinet or cabinet above

Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Bath & Shower Oil

It’s been a bit of a hectic weekend and so I felt some Sunday night pamper time was very much in order. So I reached for this to give it a whirl and decided it needed writing about straight away. I am a huge fan of Aromatherapy Associates – especially the bath and shower oil range . Their deluxe set they do each Christmas is always top of my list – and is the ‘library’ of bath oils I reach for as there’s always one that matches how I’m feeling (deep relax is my favourite).This Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength oil though is something a bit different – and it makes it even more special than just a lovely bath-time addition.  The oil was created by Geraldine Howard – co-founder and president of Aromatherapy Associates during a period of her life that she felt she needed to find her own inner strength. But not just the sort of inner strength of a bad day at work or a grumpy mood – this was created when Geraldine was in the middle of treatment for cancer. The oil includes clary sage

Defective bath mat leads to lawsuit

Buy Photo Diane Williams , who slipped on a bathmat marketed as "non-slip" about a month after getting a hip replacement surgery , poses for a portrait Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016, at her home Sioux Falls . (Photo: Joe Ahlquist / Argus Leader) Buy Photo A Sioux Falls woman who slipped on a now- recalled bath mat marketed as slip-proof has sued the company that made it and the company that sold it. Diane Williams had a hip replacement about a month before she fell in the shower due to a slip on her “AquaRug.” Williams bought the rug one year ago after seeing it advertised on the home shopping network QVC . The fall came within months, resulting in a broken right leg, a surgical revision of her hip replacement, four weeks of assisted living care and physical therapy. By the time she’d ordered the Aqua Rug, manufacturer Tristar Products , Inc. had been sued in federal court over allegations the non-slip bath rug was prone to slippage. “I purchased the AquaRug because I wanted to b

To Henna, or not to Henna? Natural Hair Coloring without the use of Chemicals

I have been coloring my hair pretty regularly since I was about 21, maybe a bit younger. I am 27 now. So that’s at least 6 years of chemically treating my hair. I really don’t need  to color my hair, I don’t have any grays, and based off of other family members, I don’t think I will start to get any until I’m close to age 50. My dad really isn’t very gray at age 51, and I still don’t think my mom is at age 50. Crazy, right? As a makeup artist, I have always had a love for the art that comes with hair color and makeup. For myself, I really have never done much to my hair besides darken it for a richer color. Highlights never seem to flatter me, and I would get bored with my natural medium-brown color, so darkening it was always my preference. The problem with color is that it is really hard to stop coloring your hair once you start. After a few weeks the color fades, and you are left with hair lighter than when you started. It’s really a trap, and best to be avoided for as long as poss

Mobile Homes: The 15 Best Adventure Vans

Gone are the days when you had to choose between blitzing through the backcountry in a cramped off-road SUV and taking to the perfectly paved roads in an massive recreational vehicle . That is to say, you can certainly still do both of those things, but you can also combine them in the form of an adventure van. These killer hybrids are perhaps the best way to enjoy the amenities of an RV with the capabilities of something a bit more rugged – if you know which one to choose. Luckily, even within such a seemingly small sample space , there are a bevy of different options for adventure vans to cater to your specific needs. If you want a small- scale luxury camper – it’s already been built. If you need a movable basecamp on a 4×4 off-road chassis – well, you’re certainly not the first. The point is, adventure vans are one of the best ways to get out into the wilder parts of the world without giving up all modern amenities across the board. So, if you’re looking to hit the road and you

Bathroom Remodel Complete

Gambar
This is the story on how I remodeled a bathroom on a budget! Here’s the tour on this completed bathroom remodel: When tastefully remodeled, bathrooms and kitchens sell homes faster than outdated spaces so we took the extra months to do that. I didn’t go with a dramatic color or bold wallpaper since this remodel is solely for resale and instead made choices that were appealing to a large market. I completed this bathroom makeover yesterday by painting the walls and hanging the new mirror. After the shower remodel , the vanity seemed dingy and dated by comparison so I decided to replace it and along with it the flooring, mirror, lighting, and baseboards. Here is an image of the bathroom before the remodel. It had a cultured marble top and dated lighting and the top of the vanity had a pinkish hue to it and just didn’t look right so I replaced it. Here it is completely remodeled and staged for sale: I wrote about the plan for the vanity in early March. I had ordered this gray vanity

Etiquette 101: Baths, Saunas, Spa Treatments

Finnish cabinet ministers do it, Russian hockey players do it, Koreans do it on a first date. Social bathing—known as "naked communion" in Japan—is an integral part of several cultures, strengthening bonds between family members, colleagues, and heads of state. In many countries it's also considered the proper way to welcome a foreign guest. Whether sauna or sento, banya or hammam, the shared bath is society's great leveler, its group hug, its collective sigh. "Not sampling the local bathing culture would be like not trying the local cuisine," says Melisse Gelula, co-founder of Well&Good NYC, an online wellness guide . And like any other institution integral to a society, this one has its rules, the first of which is to behave with churchlike decorum. In Finland, the sauna is the church, says Joonas Berghäll, co-director of the Finnish documentary Steam of Life. (Statistics bear him out: With just over five million inhabitants, Finland has roughly
