Build Bath & Shower

By Tim Blackwell | Feb 3, 2016 America’s kitchens and baths continue to be a little bit country and a little bit city, with built-in conveniences that extend to the family pet. Transitional styles dominate bath, kitchen trends for 2016 with room for pets Transitional-style architecture and neutral colors were popular in 2015 and are expected to remain in vogue this year, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association ’s (NKBA) annual survey. Also, simplified storage in both rooms, plus pet access in kitchens, are in demand. Bridging the gap between classic and contemporary, transitional designs are moving the needle from what’s been more modern design in recent years. Contemporary looks still remain desirable in bathrooms, but kitchens are reflecting various styles that include the past and present, and even industrial and farmhouse looks. Color-wise, neutrals remain the colors of choice, and two-tone designs are adding flavor t...

Spa-like details such as glass tile and soothing colors are a trend in home bathrooms, as in this one by interior designer Lori Graham . When it comes to the latest in bathrooms, spa- inspired spaces rule . Goodbye, fussy details. Hello, Zen oasis. “Turning your bathroom into something you might see at a luxury resort is really big right now,” says Shannon Kadwell, a designer for Anthony Wilder Design/Build in Cabin John. Spa-like details range from showers with multiple body sprays and rainfall “water tiles” to walls bedecked with dazzling glass tile . But the trend goes beyond finishes and fixtures. “In years prior, a bathroom was just a shower, a toilet, and a sink,” Kadwell says. “The modern bathroom is a multi-function room with separate areas.” Think distinct but connected spaces designated for cleaning, changing, relaxing, and even admiring the scenery. A house’s master suite, she says, has become a living space in which the bathroom and bedroom are connected via dressing are...

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...

First of all, it’s called faucetry. It’s plumbing’s design-driven sister, and there’s not a dull thing about it. According to Kansas City area designers and suppliers, today’s faucets are like jewelry for the kitchen and bathroom. And they are pushing the boundaries of design in form and technology. “It needs to be highly functional, but it’s a really great opportunity to make a statement,” says Geri Higgins, owner of Portfolio Kitchen & Home. Her flagship store in the Crossroads Arts District has a room devoted solely to faucets with the fixtures attached to the walls gallery-style. Those “statements” run the gamut from Delta’s Essa, a sleek, single-handle, pull-down kitchen faucet that retails for about $300 at Neenan Co. (a local wholesale plumbing supplier ), to the Waterstone Wheel, an elaborate kitchen fixture that incorporates a riverboat steering wheel into a pulley system. It sells for about $5,000 at Neenan, and Ellyn Kozishek has sold two in two years. Faucetry has...

Check it out: http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/camper-reviews/2013-adventurer-89rb-review/"> At Princess Craft Campers , we checked out the all-new 2013 Adventurer 89RB from nose to tail, jacks to ladder, and dinette to overcab.  Here’s the Adventurer 89RB Review ! We hate to admit it, but we have recently grown to appreciate slide-outs.  That’s what happens when you use slide-out campers for a couple of years.  You get spoiled by that open floor space .  It’s also fun to show slide-outs to newbies and hear them say, “No way!” as that slide room goes out. That said, there’s no doubt that Angela and I are still non- slide camper people .  Yes, our adversity to all things slide has faded, but we still hold f...
