Choosing a Bathroom Layout | HGTV

When designing a bathroom, the key is to look beyond this space. Does the style blend with the rest of your house? Now, keep in mind, you don’t have to be matchy-matchy and blending doesn’t have to be boring. But if your door knobs and hardware throughout the home are oil-rubbed bronze and you choose nickel for a hall bathroom, the change in finish could be distracting to the eye. Same goes for color scheme, except for the powder room, where drama reigns. If the master bedroom walls are painted a cheery yellow and you go for a burgundy wine colored bathroom , the jarring contrast will create a choppy feel, not the smooth transition you’re after. Unless you plan on renovating the bedroom and changing the colors there, you want an adjacent bathroom design to go with the flow. “If the bathroom is part of a master bedroom, it needs to tie in with color or texture—something,” says Eileen Kollias, designer/owner, Eileen Kollias Design , Boston, Mass. “If the bathroom is in the hallway a

Bathroom floor plans for Kate's master bathroom remodel

Posted by: Kate • June 26, 2012 I have given you a whole list of reasons why I am going to do a gut remodel of my retro master bathroom , but the main reason doesn ’t have to to with the condition of the tile, the color scheme or the lack of towel bars — I’m gutting my master bathroom to the studs and starting over, because the layout is just not working for how we live. When we first bought our retro ranch house about two years ago, I knew the bathroom was going to need some help. I’ ve spent hours thinking , measuring and imagining how I could fix the floor plan to be more user friendly, and by golly, I think I have a plan… To understand the improvements I’d like to make to the layout of my master bathroom , first we have to take a look at the current layout of the room: master bathroom floorplan" src="https://retrorenovation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/CURRENT-BATH2.jpg" alt="Kate's current master bathroom floorplan" width="500" height

A bathroom with character, slimy character

READER REPORT: TIFFANY BURKE We're looking for flat nightmares of the Kiwi kind. Tiffany Burke's place in Christchurch came with pets - slimy pets. We lived for a time in a 100-year-old villa that had been split into a duplex. Our side was just a one-bedroom place. The whole place was hideous, but the bathroom was the worst. It had mouldy, old carpet and black mould covering the ceiling. It had one of those ancient-looking clawfoot baths with a terrible shower attachment . The rubber stoppers were always falling off the taps so mid-shower and it would pop off, spraying all over your feet from the bath taps. But the very, very worst of it was, in winter time, for some reason, we'd get big fat slugs coming in from a small gap between the bottom of the wall and the floor. You could see the slime trails they left and sometimes come across the critters still going on their merry way. Mushrooms would also grow under the bath. So gross! What's the worst flat you'v

How do you repair a Delta bathroom faucet?

Single- handle faucets frequently experience ball assembly issues as they get older. To repair an under-handle leak, take out your old ball assembly, and replace it with a new component. Single- handle faucets sometimes also suffer from aerator leaks. If your faucet is leaking from its aerator, remove and replace the fixture's seats and springs. If your center-set and widespread two-handle faucet is leaking from under its handle, disassemble the fixture, and replace its stem unit assembly . If the faucet's aerator is leaking, remove and replace the unit's seats and springs. In all cases, if your fixture's aerator leaks, and the problem is not resolved when you replace the faucet's seats and springs, try replacing the unit's ball assembly or stem unit assembly , depending on the model. To prevent future leaks , ensure you keep up with your faucet's regular maintenance schedule . Depending on the model, this schedule might include replacing rubber gaskets

Will Bath dare to become the first UK city with a ‘tourist tax’? | Travel

T he “tourist tax” is one of those ideas that everyone agrees is great – and then quietly drops. But now the historic city of Bath might take the plunge and become the first place in the UK to implement one. With the city’s council facing £37m of cuts in the next five years, it is considering an extra charge for overnight visitors to Bath, a local councillor has told the BBC. Outside the UK, such tourist taxes flourish – from the Balearic Islands to Rome, Amsterdam and Paris. But while cities such as Edinburgh, Birmingham, Brighton and London – as well as Cornwall – have all toyed with the idea of cashing in on the tourists who flock to them, none has seen it through. This is despite the fact that a 2007 commission into local government funding recommended a tourist tax, while a 2012 commission set up by Boris Johnson when he was London Mayor said there was a “powerful argument for a levy”. One reason local authorities are reluctant is that no one wants to be the first. David James

Vintage Dresser - Blue and White Bathroom

Image
I received free product from Delta Faucet Company to write this post, but all opinions expressed are my own. I hope you all had a great holiday week last week. We had firework shows nonstop on the lake for 4 nights in a row. The best part was we had the perfect view out our master bedroom windows , so the whole family snuggled in our bed to watch. Several of us only made it through the first 5 minutes before snoring, (cough, cough, the boys), but it was so fun. I had a few minutes to snap photos this morning of my daughter’s bathroom, which I haven’t really shared much of yet.  If you remember last fall I bought this beautiful old dresser from the Allegan Flea Market and it jumpstarted my whole design plan for this room. I wanted a soft vintage vibe for this room, but not too girly because this is also the main bathroom for people hanging out in the basement to use. They guys did an amazing  job reworking the inside of the dresser to accommodate the plumbing. It was originally wh

Hot Property: A slice of Beacon Hill in Bay Village

Peer out the top floor of 34 Fayette St. — through the tall dormer windows of the building’s mansard roof — and you might think you were in Beacon Hill. Across the leafy Bay Village street is the 1820s- era John Thomas Dingley home , a handsome red brick Federal style rowhouse with arched entryways and windows flanked with heavy black shutters . Beyond are other low-rise rowhouses, mostly in Federal and Greek Revival style , and nearly all dating back close to 200 years. “It’s a miniature Beacon Hill , if you will,” said Matt Krepps, who is selling his family’s Fayette Street condo at just under $2 million. “It has the same feel.” And his building, at the corner of Church Street, is just as much a part of this early American district as its other pre- Civil War neighbors . The brick home was likely built in 1829 by Aaron Coffin and architect Charles Roath — the home’s first resident — according to Kayla Skillin, an assistant archivist at the City of Boston Archives.

Hotel Bathroom Design Trends for 2017

Hotel bathrooms have come a long way from plain, white spaces used merely for wash and go. After all, they are among the most important rooms in our living areas. Their design, layout, and overall look have changed and improved dramatically over the past years to become spaces for stylish comfort and relaxation as we prepare our clean, fragrant, and refreshed selves for our busy lives waiting outside. Just as a hot bath or shower can be calming, bathrooms can be antidotes for our stressful modern lives . When planning a bathroom interior design or renovation to the space, hotel owners should consider the following themes and styles that are trending in 2017. Geometric Tiles and Natural Materials Trendy bathrooms are incorporating geometric tiles with bright lines into architectural and structural elements to inspire a variation of geometrical shapes. Interior designers say that 2017 will also mark a return to organic and natural materials. Think Green Inspired by recent design shif

From Tile to Toilets: 10 Modern Bathroom Trends

Warmer hardware Over the past year or two, we’ve seen the significant growth of gold, brass and copper as accent metals on decor and furniture, and now it’s making its way into the other rooms of the house. We’re seeing everything from knob and handles to faucets and even shower heads moving in this direction. Trendy or not, we can’t help but love warming it up in the bathroom.

Sterling Prevail Shower Doors with ComforTrack Technology

Image
by leanneja on May 19, 2015 This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sterling for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I love researching and finding new products to make my home pretty and functional. I never thought I wanted a shower door but after renting a house with them in 2 of the bathrooms I can see the benefit in shower doors, especially when it comes to keeping water where it belongs. My kids have been notorious for having the shower curtain on the outside of the tub which also means the water ends up there too. It’s always fun cleaning up after bath time, right? I was excited to find out about the new Sterling shower doors with ComforTrack technology. I’ve had issues with shower door tracks in the past, they are hard and uncomfortable if you need to kneel or lean on them and can also be hard to clean. The Sterling Prevail shower door has new ComforTrack technology. It’s a flexible bottom track that supports the shower door’s glide, but is also extremely durab

The House of Blood | Mental Floss

October 1, 2009 Where is the house of blood? It could be your house with these home furnishings, most of which are available at the click of a mouse. Individually, they might be described as conversation pieces; put them all together and you'll have a house of horrors no one would want to visit twice. One of these products used the description "Gruesome, bloody, and absolutely offensive." This collection is not for the squeamish. Dining Room Designer Amy Lau  was inspired by the serial killer show on Showtime when she came up with these Dexter dining room chairs . The chairs are decorated with embroidered blood spatters . There are also bloody dinner plates and disfigured flatware to match, available from Spring Design. Lighting The Blood Bucket Lamp looks like it's pouring all over your desktop, but the blood is the stem and base. Also available in a wall version, and in white if you're squeamish.
