Build Bath & Shower

This post is sponsored by BEHR® and POPSUGAR. Back when we bought this house in 2009 I was an overzealous, 24-year-old, first- time home buyer (stop doing the math and trying to calculate my age– I’m 32). And I knew I wanted a blue master bathroom with crisp, white towels in a basket, but back then I didn’t know much about paint colors– see the first color I painted our kitchen. While the blue wasn’t awful, it really screamed ‘BLUE’, especially on sunny days. Over time, I started to get annoyed by how blue it was. So a few weeks ago I decided it was time to change the color. Mostly because I was tired of the BLUE and partially because it had been almost 9 years since I painted our bathroom, so it was time. When looking at colors, I wanted to stay with blue because I thought it worked best with our (not-by-choice) almond- colored bath fixtures . But I wanted more of a blue-gray. Putting the colors side by side shows how blue the old color was, and how the new color, BEHR Oceanic Clima...

10 31440 Winterplace Pkwy Salisbury , MD 21804 (410) 219-9033 I'm in the second week of my 2.5 baths remodel. For the 2 full baths, I'm getting 2 tubs/wall systems, 2 toilets ( American Standard champion pro ), 2 shower heads, tiles and 2 sink faucets (not replacing vanity), wall painted. For the powder room, I'm getting toilet replaced ( American Standard Vormax ), wainscoting and wall painted, not replacing vanity or flooring. Note: I would recommend doing a little homework on how much toilets, tubs, shower heads, etc of the same type typically cost before signing the contract. Our salesman said the Vormax was around $900. The good: Our sales guy (Rick) was friendly and courteous. Office receptionist is also polite and courteous. The not-so-good:They send different guys to do different parts of the job (acrylic tub/wall vs tiling vs toilet installation vs painting are done by different people). I prefer to have the same people do all the work so there's not differe...

A traditional Irish cottage and a thoroughly modern pod house on the Wild Atlantic Way in Co Donegal are for sale – and the buyer will have to be someone who loves remote locations , says owner Greg Stevenson . The Escape – the cottage – and CroPod – a modular home beside it – are being sold together, with Stevenson looking for offers of over €200,000 through ilovedonegal@gmail.com. The Escape, Glencolmcille, Co Donegal The Escape is a whitewashed cottage on the road to the deserted village of Port, Co Donegal, about 15km from Glencolmcille. Greg, an architectural historian, moved there from Wales with his husband Lukasz a decade ago and lived there for three years. Since then they have rented it out along with the pod home they built into the hillside, which Stevenson describes as “an underground shelter flooded with light, lined with oak, overlooking a coastal mountain lake ”. CroPod, Glencolmcille, Co Donegal Together, the properties yield a gross income of around €30,000 a yea...

Don’t even think about using a shower curtain in your bathroom remodel. Current trends dictate that glass enclosures are best for master baths. (Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto ) Real estate agents tell us the kitchen and the master bath are the two most important rooms in a home that a buyer looks at, even if not consciously. So if you’re thinking of selling, even if you plan to live in your home a few more years, consider upgrading those rooms if they look like they need it. Let’s talk about what most people like in master bathrooms. Remember when a master bathroom wasn ’t worth much if it didn’t have a tub? Well, we are told that most remodels skip the bathtub. Showers are in. Toilets are more exposed now as opposed to having their own private room. If some privacy is still wanted, a simple partition is what is being built. Those aren’t my thoughts on the matter, but those of the people who want to remodel their current bath. Light in the bathroom is always important. The trend n...

Older homes often lack bathroom exhaust fans . In the old days, if the bathroom was smelly or steamy, you were supposed to open a window to air it out. This isn’t a very logical ventilation method , especially when temperatures are below zero, or when the weather is 90°F and humid. Yet this time-honored method of bathroom ventilation is still enshrined in our building codes. According to the 2009 International Residential Code (sections R303.3 and M1507.3), a bathroom with an operable window does not need to have a bath exhaust fan . Why do we need exhaust fans? In spite of the code’s archaic loophole, builders should install an exhaust fan in every bathroom or toilet room — even when the bathroom has a window. A bath exhaust fan can perform several functions: It can exhaust smelly air , allowing fresher air to enter the bathroom. It can exhaust humid air , allowing dryer air to enter the bathroom. When operated for 24 hours per day or when controlled by a timer, it can act (in so...
