Master Bathroom Remodel

image
philliptuckerJuly 29, 2017

Renovating relatively small-footprint master bathroom. Second bath
in home has tub so planning to eliminate the soaker tub and replace with
two-person shower.

Please share your recommendations to help us arrive at the best bathroom. We prefer transitional styling.

Considerations:

-
Window sill height is lower than cabinet height. New window was
installed 7/17 so preference would be to not replace, but could.

-
Current toilet room is small (3'x5') with in-swing door. Shares wall with one of two small master closets.
Considering removing shared wall to expand closet (would make closet
dimensions 9'4" x 5' rather than current 5'10" x 5'). Expanded closet would
need matching sand-in-place oak hardwood for consistency (or not). What
is cost benefit...better to have larger closet or private toilet room?

- Expanding closet poses issue of new toilet placement.

-
There is only a tiny linen closet in the bathroom (other linen closet
storage in house limited too). So extra storage is necessary. Assuming
most efficient is to add vertical storage cabinetry in conjunction with
vanity design.

- Former owners had wall paper in bathroom. It
has been painted over. Some seams visible. Should we have paper
removed and then repaint or cover walls with other items such as
ship-lap, other wall paper, a wainscotting, tile, paint, etc?
Contractor says tile would get too heavy.

- Soffit over existing
vanity - not sure if ducting is inside, but do not think so. Obviously
houses LED light kits. Keep or remove soffit?

- Cost is always a concern. Ideally, entire renovation would be less than $20,000.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Homemade bath bombs are all the rage these days. They are so easy to DIY and there are a ton of different bath bomb recipes out there. I love how easy it is to personalize your bath fizzies’ scent with essential oils . Some of my favorites to use include Lavender (Relaxation) and Peppermint (Pick-Me-Up). Mom Always Finds Out may have received one or more of the products mentioned in this blog post for free or discounted price. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This blog post may contain affiliate links. I have been on a Pink Himalayan salt kick ever since I learned about how good it is for you. This pretty pink salt is one of the purest salts on Earth and is high in mineral content. The fine- grained Pink Himalayan salt is good to use for bath bombs because it dissolves quicker than the larger sized salt crystals . If you don’t have any Pink Himalayan salt at home, you can substitute another type of salt. Epsom Salts work great in this recipe, too. The main thing to ...
