The accident rate doesn 't surprise Bruce Goff , a San Francisco- based hotel room designer . Mr. Goff, who specializes in bathrooms, said that he has walked into some hotel rooms and thought, ''Gee, I hope their insurance is paid up.'' Three factors determine the kind of material that goes into a hotel bathroom, he said: initial cost, aesthetics and cleaning time. ''Luxury is the be-all and end-all,'' he added, ''and the marketplace competition is what drives the aesthetics.'' In other words, bathrooms sell rooms . Supersizing It The increased presence of the supersize bathtub, with high sides and wide interiors, is another hazard. Stepping in from a slippery floor surface onto a slippery tub surface magnifies the problem. Russ Kendzior of the National Floor Safety Institute , a trade organization that promotes the use of high-traction materials, says that hotels don't like to use the available materials or rubber mats because ...

Ever felt the sweat dripping off of you during a workout? How about feeling uncomfortably sweaty on a hot summer's day? Remember your palms perspiring right before your first date or job interview? And what about that spicy Thai food you ate a few nights ago? Didn't you sweat just a wee bit? Sweat happens. While most of us are secretly mortified at the thought of appearing hot and sweaty in front of our peers, experts say that the clear, salty liquid excreted by our skin is actually good for us.

Sweat is mostly our body's way of regulating temperature." A natural lubricant that prevents dry skin , the amount of sweat produced depends upon the number o...

Master Bathroom Remodel: the Final Reveal! posted by Lori Lange I’m excited to share with you the final reveal for my Master Bathroom remodeling project! Master Bathroom Remodel - the Final Reveal" width="602" height="900" /> As you may recall from my previous posts:   Master Bathroom Remodel (beginning) and Master Bathroom Remodel (Progress), this was a major project.  The entire bathroom was torn out and re-done with all new everything.  It took 6 months from start to finish!  Here’s an extensive peek at what the end result looks like… Left-view entrance… and the closet: We were very excited to get rid of the gold- rimmed sliding door for the closet and replace it with a barn- wood sliding door .  Our designer located some barn wood locally and we had our contractor build the door.  It’s one of our favorite parts of the new bathroom!

Sharon and Dave had just moved to Scarsdale from the city and I swear during brunch they slipped Aaron some suburban Kool-Aid with their day-old bagels. While the kids played on a giant plastic gym set in their cavernous empty living room , they proudly gave us a tour of their five-bedroom Colonial, closet by closet. Aaron seemed bored, as usual, but when we entered the en suite master bathroom , complete with double sinks and a rainfall shower, I heard him gasp. “A separate little room for the toilet!” he said, eyes glowing wide with bathroom envy. “You know,” Sharon said, “our builder is working on plans for the house next door.” “We’re not quite ready,” I replied. “But we can ta...
