Bath Shower Home Design

The secret of a long-lasting marriage? Never tell your wife: 'I told you so.' For that reason, I will not remind Mrs U how I warned her months ago that her elaborate home-improvement plans would subject us to weeks of out-and-out misery. Sure enough, the work of enlarging the kitchen and converting the smallest bedroom upstairs into a shower-room still grinds on, more than eight weeks into a project that was meant to take six. I will not remind Mrs U how I warned that her elaborate home-improvement plans would subject us to weeks of out-and-out misery As I write, the house is still barely habitable, with furniture, pots and pans stacked up in the living room, dust everywhere, nowhere to sit in comfort and hardly a moment's peace — for us, or our long-suffering neighbours — from banging, clanking, drilling and problems, problems, problems. Mind you, I'm not blaming the builders, plumbers, tilers, decorators and electricians who've taken the place over since the midd...

Over the past 3 years we’ve learned a lot about what makes or breaks a trip with an infant. We’ve also learned that traveling with one baby is very different than traveling with two (shocking, I know). Let’s just say, I’ve gained a huge respect for those brave families that travel with 3 or 4 little ones. To you, I tip my hat. Last week, I received a message from a nervous mother about to take her infant on a flight for the very first time. I vividly remember feeling the same anxiety before our first few trips with Braydon (our first born). In preparation for her trip, she asked me to share my most useful baby travel tips . I sent her the link to our other blog Tips for Baby Travel  and later realized we haven’t written a detailed “ baby travel tips ” article on this site. We get asked this question quite often, so I thought it was about time we wrote a post dedicated to baby travel. We’ ve intentionally limited the amount of baby posts we publish on this site because we know a lot o...

Is Mom's Birthday Coming Up? Here Are 17 Gifts She Actually Wants August 17, 2017 Share Tweet If you’re stumped on just how to find the perfect present for your mom’s birthday, we’ve gathered up some suggestions to help nudge you in the right direction. Luckily, none of these options are overly bank breaking . Sure, you can drop a few hundred on a great gift, but showing her you care doesn’t really need to cost that much. Keep in mind what she loves: is she a whiz in the kitchen? She’ll crack a huge smile for great new cookware. Are her weekends best spent curled up with a good book? Opt for a nice wine glass or a chic blanket that will upgrade her downtime. Can she clean up at the gym? Workout gear (like Beats' new sport headphones) may be the best option. Remember that a little thought goes a long way. The cherry on top of any gift is a handwritten card. So tip your hat to the mother who raised you right by showing her just how much you care. To help you on your journey, ...

I think we can all agree that the bathroom can pose significant “decorating” challenges to the layperson. Would you agree? It’s typically such a small space designed largely for utilitarian purposes. While many large and spacious sitting-room- esque bathrooms exist (and good for you if you have those!), they aren’t the norm. In general, bathrooms must squeeze a lot of function into a rather small footprint . View in gallery View in gallery It is this challenge that makes bathroom decorating so important. It’s a space that many people use, so it should be pleasant and well styled. But “decorate” can feel like a loaded word sometimes. In its utilitarian role, a bathroom calls for non-traditional forms of decorating. In fact, I’ve discovered that, often, successful bathrooms are less decorated and more designed. In this article, we’ll look at several ways of how to decorate a bathroom without clutter. View in gallery How to Decorate a Long, Narrow Bathroom A common bathroom layout is ...
