pink bathroom doesn 't have to look dated." title="Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images" /> A pink bathroom doesn 't have to look dated. Decorating the bathroom with pink began to gain popularity in the mid-1940s. Inspired by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower 's -- first lady from 1953 to 1961 -- love for all things pink, the sweet color then surged in popularity through the mid-1960s. Mamie loved pink so much she redecorated the living quarters of the White House in pink, right down to pink cotton balls . At the height of pink's popularity in the 1950s, adorning the bathroom with a pink toilet, bathtub, sink and tile flooring was very stylish. Many mid-century bathrooms even had pink tile reaching halfway up the walls. Trends come and go, and if you have a pink bathroom, the look is undeniably dated. You can embrace the vintage style, or turn it into another theme altogether. Walls If you love the kitschy charm of your pink bathroom, play it up by pain...

By Matt Weber Each year, professional remodelers and building- product suppliers put their heads together at the Remodeling Show/Deck Expo, where new tools and materials get a showcase and the craftsman that use them get a chance to offer face-to-face feedback. The Extreme How-To staff will be exhibiting at the convention this year in Nashville, TN, so if you make the trip, stop by booth 525 and say hello. In the meantime, here’s a preview of products that will be on display. Deckorators Heritage Decking Two new Deckorators Heritage deck boards bring interior design to outdoor living . Heritage Riverhouse and Heritage Smokehouse composite decking feature detailed embossing that offers the rustic look and feel of distressed wood flooring .

Riverhouse (brown) and Smokehouse (gray) are available in 12-, 16- and 20-ft....

‘We were lucky the house was in good condition when we bought it,’ say the owners. ‘But the bathroom was fairly conventional, with an oval bath and a basin with a large vanity unit .’ Looking for ways to make the best use of a compact space, the couple realised that a shower room would be ideal for their family. ‘We decided to remove the bath in favour of a large walk-in shower,’ they say. ‘There are five of us needing to use the room daily, so showers are quicker and more practical.’ With regards to the decor, the couple wanted a scheme that was minimal, simple and chic, and that wouldn’t date. They chose grey and white, for a classic look. ‘These neutrals work so well together,’ they say. ‘And we knew that if it began to feel too masculine, we could soften the room with pretty towels and accessories. But with three sons and this being our only bathroom, it had to be practical above all else.’ The couple contacted an online interior designer , who really helped them make the most of t...

Natives know where to go for a real San Francisco experience : the city's neighborhoods. What better way to make family and friends comfortable than to have them stay close by in one of Noe Valley's guesthouses. While many local guesthouses and bed-and-breakfasts have been hit by the current economic slump --and by the competition from a drop in downtown hotel prices --the good news is guests no longer have to book six months in advance and can sometimes negotiate a lower room rate . Still, most guesthouses report business is steady, at least on the weekends. In Noe Valley we are fortunate to have a mix of lodgings that serve a wide range of needs. You can find a cottage with handicapped access for grandparents, several places that welcome children, or a quiet room in a house, for a friend. In this survey, which updates our B&B roundups in the June 1997 and May 1999 issues, the Voice uncovered a variety of hospitality styles: a European- style tourist home , a fully furn...
