Spa bath wins ‘Contractor of the Year’ for remodeler Michael Nash | Articles

A spacious master bath renovation in a circa 1970s center hall Colonial in Reston has won a “Contractor of the Year” (COTY) award for Michael Nash Design Build and Homes. The recently-completed makeover was named the Washington-area's best residential bathroom in the $50,000 to $75,000 category by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry metro DC chapter .

The remodel features a roll-in shower and freestanding pedestal tub , a custom- designed double sink vanity with flanking wardrobe closets and a separate commode – all smoothly integrated into a “transitional style” interior that balances textured surfaces , glass walls and a subtle interplay of colors and tones. Acknowledging the prize, Michael Nash president and founder Sonny Nazemian , credited his high performance design and production team : “The ‘COTY’

Low Stress Bridal Shower | Crate and Barrel Blog

Last month I helped plan my sister’s bridal shower from across the country. And you know what I learned in the process? The less thinking you have to do when planning a shower, the better. Because if you’re planning a shower, chances are you do not have A) unlimited time or B) unlimited budget. And you might even have a few extra people (aka someone’s mom, or their sister, or a very enthusiastic wedding party member ) whose thoughts and opinions you have to take into consideration along with your own (brilliant, obvs) ideas. So anything you can do to simplify the process (and still end up with something you love) is great. So planning a fun, stylish bridal shower is often a little of “I have an idea!” followed by “OK, now how do I pull that off?” Which is why at APW, we consider it our jobs to test out all kinds of bonkers ideas so you don’t have to. Here are our top 3 tips for bringing an awesome bridal shower to life. (And spoiler alert: having access to some of the prettiest serve

How to Avoid Dry Skin in Hot Tubs

A soak in a hot tub may be relaxing, but the combination of heat, water and chemicals can really dry out your skin. Unsightly bumps and discoloration often accompany dry skin , and the itching associated with dryness is annoying and uncomfortable. Rather than letting dry skin counter any calming effect relaxing in a hot tub may have, take care to minimize damage to your skin.

Traditional Japanese Houses | Nippon.com

Image
Take Your Shoes Off Minka , or traditional Japanese houses , are characterized by tatami mat flooring , sliding doors, and wooden engawa verandas. Another aspect that persists even in Western-style homes in Japan is the genkan , an entrance hall where people remove footwear . The flooring for the house proper is raised a little off the ground to prevent dampness from entering and to keep the living area from flooding in the case of heavy rain. The lower level is known as the tataki , and was traditionally made of packed earth, although concrete is common today. After removal, shoes are put in the getabako —a cabinet that derives its name from geta, or wooden clogs, that Japanese people once commonly wore. A genkan entrance hall with a getabako (left) for shoes and a tataki (foreground). Heavy rain can damage roofs, so outside the entrance, amadoi gutters carry rainfall off the eaves and down the decorative kusaridoi , or “rain chain.” Rainwater travels along the gutter and down

Excerpt from 'How Clean is Your House' By Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie Getting started Kim and Aggie's essential cleaning kit A glance at the shelves of cleaning materials in any large store will tell you that there is a breathtaking array of cleaning creams, powders, polishes, liquids, cloths, mops and tablets available. Of course you don't need them all! Some are time-saving, but buying so many products is hardly economical—we'll show you other cleaning methods that avoid buying a special product that does only one job. However, every home should have a basic cleaning kit . All the homes we visited contained cleaning materials —they just weren't being used. Their purchase was a sign of the best intentions, but then they had been buried at the back of a cupboard—often covered in grease or dust! Name a product and you can be sure that we have tried it. Here is a list of the supplies we never set off without when we take to the

Texas Bathroom Bill Dies Again, Raising Republican Acrimony

Image
“Defeating this discriminatory and dangerous legislation in Texas is a huge victory that will have an impact far beyond the Lone Star State ,” Kasey Suffredini, the acting chief executive of Freedom for All Americans, a national gay rights and transgender rights group , said in a statement. In the special session, conservative lawmakers passed a version of the bill in the Texas Senate, where Mr. Patrick presides, but the moderate Republicans who lead the Texas House never referred it to a House committee , so it was effectively dead on arrival in the chamber. Another version, written by a House lawmaker , was never given a hearing. The bills would effectively have required transgender people to use bathrooms, locker rooms or showers corresponding with the sex listed on their birth certificates, not their gender identity, in government buildings and schools. The procedural moves in the House that killed the bathroom bill were led in large part by the House speaker, Joe Straus of Sa
