Build Bath & Shower

A shower screen is a thing that is very often overlooked in interior decoration schemes. Bathroom interior design is especially challenging because there is an extra level of functionality to fulfill. Of course, all design has to be functional. If there were no functional element it wouldn't be design, it would simply be art. But in living room design , for instance, you have license to be more ornamental and to forget the necessity of fittings a bit more. Too often people settle for the fallback option of a plastic curtain held up by a bar and plastic rings. These are cheap, but that's about their only advantage. First of all, they have very short life spans meaning that you have to replace them often and they are very wasteful. Secondly, they rot, which is unhygienic and difficult to clean. Thirdly, they are often not aesthetically pleasing, and tend to cut the space up in your bathroom making it appear smaller rather than bigger. The most beautiful option for protect your...

Like any member of the bourgeoisie, I demand to live a life surrounded by pretty things. I am an aesthetic creature . Forget grey communism , I want the gilded baubles and swishing silks of a doomed 19th- century Russian noble and I want them now. Unfortunately, my bourgeoisie lifestyle is being held up by a few little finance issues. Turns out that to be a bougie person, you need a bougie bank balance . It's not a sign-up-for-free kind of deal. So it's time to get good at faking it. As Marx says, to a bureaucrat the world is a mere object to be manipulated, but why just bureaucrats? Why can't a writer equipped with a basic editorial budget and a can of gold spray paint manipulate the world into believing she is a member of the 1%? Dream big and you can achieve anything, right? Besides, as they say, to make money you ne...

After Before The Original Floorplan Last June, Jeremy and I started the process of remodeling the second floor of our home. There were lots of things that bothered me about the original layout, and you can probably discern a lot of them from the “before” pictures, more of which you can see in West Elm’s post here. Originally, the second floor had a master bedroom , tiny master bathroom , and a weird tiny bedroom that could only fit a twin size bed and had a weird area where the eaves of the roof slanted down to the ground making it almost impossible to keep anything there. The master bathroom consisted of a small crappy plastic tube -shaped shower, a vanity, and the toilet. The shower was the bane of my existence, because the way it was built and assembled left all these little gaps in the plastic pieces  in it that were impossible to get to with cleaning brush, so mold would just grow between the cracks, and the rubber lining along the shower door where the plastic sheets touched k...

Shutterstock Just five seconds earlier, she had seemed too good to be true. He should have known there was something a little off, just waiting to reveal itself.   “Come on, it’ll be fun. I’ll pay for it,” Karyn said while the two of them waited for their dessert.   “You don’t really believe in all that?”  Larry replied , trying to hedge his tone between faux worry and gentle kidding. “Do you?”   Larry Pemberton really liked this girl. As a guy who always had standards a little too high for his side of the ledger, he didn’t find many women he wanted to see the socially accepted three times. Through two dates, Karyn had seemed like a good match. She was smart, accomplished, beautiful … And, it turned out, a believer in mystical powers.   “It depends,” she said, interrupting his skeptical thoughts. “You have to go to the right one, obviously. A lot of them are just making things up, or telling you what they think you want to hear …”   The concept of a “right” psychic was a concept Larry...
