Build Bath & Shower

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...

Thermae Bath Spa " /> Water is the ultimate life, pure as crystal, the divine influx.” – Ted Hughes. Thanks to it’s thermal springs, which are the only hot springs in the UK, delivering over one million litres of naturally hot, mineral-rich waters every day, Bath has long been associated with health and restoration. The seemingly miraculous emergence of the hot water steaming amongst the marshes was worshipped by first the Celts, then the Romans, who built baths and a temple to Minerva – goddess of healing and wisdom – on the site, founding one of their only settlements used purely for recreation instead of as a garrison. You can’t argue with history, so what better way to experience the beauty of Bath than at Thermae Bath Spa , the only spa which uses the natural water of the thermal springs? While the waters emerge from the three springs in Bath at a steaming 45°C, they are cooled down during the filtration process to the optimum bathing temperature , a relaxing 34°C which ...

When I moved in, my bathroom was outfitted with basic builder grade components that never really went together and to top it all off, they never really worked properly. I just made do with what I had, but over time, I knew I’d have to renovate this space and make it my own. To make the bathroom magic happen , we’ve partnered with TOTO, the Japanese manufacturer  behind those infamous toilets that do everything for you, and to help bring it all together we’ve brought in online interior design platform , Decorilla, specifically, designer Joyce Elizabeth Tranchida . It’s embarrassing to show these but here’s what I’ve been living with… (sad, I know): I hate the glass hand towel light fixture so much I haven’t even replaced the bulb that’s out! The toilet is so basic it doesn’t even have a brand. My basic, boring bathroom needed some modernization, and a brand-new cohesive look as it’s the only bathroom in my home. If you’ve ever looked around at finished bathrooms, you know just how mu...

View in gallery View in gallery Below are lots of ideas for bathroom color schemes for almost any shape, size, and style of bathroom.
