Bath Shower Home Design

We recently completed a bathroom renovation and we learned a lot in the process.  Just to give you a little background on the project, my husband and I hired an architecht last fall to help us with renovating our home.  We knew for sure we wanted to replace windows but wanted to ensure we weren't wasting money on new windows in parts of the house we may change later.  So we gave him our entire wish list and before we knew it the project took on a life of its own.  So after three months of design meetings we received gorgeous plans of our dream house.  Then we learned it was going to cost much more then we were willing to spend.  So we decided to stage the renovation in three parts.  The first part was completed this past summer which included all new windows (requiring several walls to be rebuilt), a front portico and door, replacement of a decaying second story deck, opening up our living room and sunroom to make one big room, interior and exterior paint and a redo of our master ...

Great bathroom flooring can brighten the entire space, but finding functional, stylish flooring that withstands water damage can be challenging. We’ve analyzed the pros and cons of three great flooring options to simplify your renovation. 1) Porcelain Tile Porcelain tile is an excellent option for full bathroom flooring since it has a low water absorption rate of 0.5% or less. Porcelain tile also comes in a range of colors and styles, and it’s one of the most cost-effective choices. In historic homes, a classic hexagon tile keeps bathrooms clean and classic.

Choosing Bathroom Fixtures By Sarah Carmichael on Bathrooms By Sarah Green Carmichael Using American Standard fixtures On a Bathroom Remodel Bath fixtures might not be the first thing you think of when you start your bathroom renovation — most people start by thinking about the big things, like layout, tile, and vanities — but they are an important aspect of the finished product. Essentially, they’re like the jewelry you choose to complete the perfect outfit : a finishing touch that classes up the whole look, making it feel finished and polished. Avoid Choice Paralysis And yet if you suffer from choice paralysis — the phenomenon whereby having too many options results in an inability to choose anything — choosing bath hardware is almost guaranteed to cause a flare-up. A visit to a bath showroom or big box home store retailer can quickly overwhelm with options. And since of course bath fixtures are about function as much as form, there can be a lot of factors to consider. Classic ...

Give the kitchen a full-face lift The kitchen is the heart of a home, and therefore is one of the most scrutinized elements of a rental.

Residents appreciate convenient appliances like these that save time on chores. According to HomeAdvisor, installing a continuous disposal costs about $170.

One of the newest ways to add warmth to a bathroom is also one of the oldest: a fireplace. While fireplaces have traditionally been found in living rooms, dens and occasionally bedrooms, the idea of soaking in the bathtub while a cozy fire glows nearby is gaining popularity. Realtors have long known that a well- designed bathroom adds a significant boost to a home's resale value, and fireplaces are a sought-after feature as well. In fact, according to the National Association of Home Builders, a fireplace is one of the top three features requested by consumers out to buy new homes. Put that fireplace in the bath, and you have a room with a real wow factor . Not so long ago, adding a fireplace meant installing a traditional, full-size mantel placed over a fireplace opening that's sitting on a hearth. Today, however, a huge variety of prefab fireplace designs — from classic to sleekly modern — means that homeowners can find a perfect fit for any type or size bathroom strai...

Scott Peck says, ‘Life is a series of problems.  Do we want to moan about them or solve them?’.  Whether we choose to acknowledge the fact or not, we all face problems and the end result we end up with is how we respond to those problems.  We need to accept them, embrace them and tackle them head on; we need to give time to them. When we truly give time to thinking about how to solve painful problems , we envision sound and sometimes creative solutions which will solve problems.  Let’s admit it, with the noise and mental stimuli which our minds are addicted to (i.e. c...
