There are a lot of factors that go into deciding what direction to take a major remodel, especially in a bathroom. Bathrooms, along with kitchens, are the most important design spaces in the home – they’re the most used, and have the most permanent fixtures (so the distinct design will stay even after you’ve moved out your stuff). So, if you have a very architecturally distinct h

Modern styled bathrooms have become increasingly popular in recent years, and are becoming ever more desirable when it comes to major bathroom remodels. But a modern bathroom isn’t without its pitfalls – not the least of which that the simple, industrial palette and minimalistic, geometric lines of a modern decor can end up making for a rather boxy looking bathroom. Wall mounted bathro

It’s always difficult to make the most of a small bathroom. Balancing storage space and simple functionality becomes more difficult the smaller your space is. But sometimes the best thing you can do is opt for a really – and I do mean really – small bathroom vanity, at least as long as you choose the right one. These are the pick of the litter, nearly all under 20 inches and all

I’ve talked a bit before about the pitfalls of a modern bathroom decor – it can be a little cold and a little impersonal, both of which can be difficult to fix and difficult to avoid in the first place. But it isn’t always true, and certainly doesn’t have to be. In some ways, a modern decor is an invitation to have a little fun, you just have to keep in mind that “mod

Wall mounted bathroom vanities are the perfect fixture for a modern styled bathroom. They’re sleek and simplistic, minimally designed and just the right amount of unconventional without looking weird. But some people might shy away from a wall mounted vanity thinking that, because they’re smaller than conventional bathroom vanities, they won’t have enough storage space for every

There are tons of ways to get the most out of a small bathroom, but balancing saving floor space and making more storage space – especially private storage space – isn’t always easy. Shelves are nice for utilizing horizontal space, and separate storage cabinets are great if you have the room for them, but sometimes you just need somewhere to hide your unmentionables – and t

Earth Day 2012 is upon us, and even if you aren’t the type to take to the streets about environmental issues, there are more than a few reasons to celebrate the day. In big and little ways, making your home environmentally friendly can really do wonders for your bottom line. From more efficient appliances to lower water bills and even government rebates and tax credits, going green can get y

Even if you love antique bathroom vanities and authentic period styles, a bathroom is probably the last place in the world you’d want to put a real antique. Between the daily use, spills, and fluctuating humidity, you’d have a disaster waiting to happen. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t have a genuine-looking antique bathroom vanities out there to play the part. I’m

Not so very long ago, immersive, luxurious, total bathing experiences were the sole realm of spas and swanky hotels. But with the price coming down on luxury bathing equipment across the board, home spas are becoming increasingly prevalent. From custom showers to deep soaking tubs and even home steam baths, it’s entirely possible to get all of the equipment to need to enjoy every day what yo

If you’re a regular follower of this blog, you know I’m a big fan of bathroom storage, especially when it comes to well designed bathroom vanities. But while I tend to prefer cabinets and drawers to keep my toiletries hidden, I’m willing to admit that there’s a time and a place for open shelf bathroom vanities, too. Specifically, I love bathroom vanities that are just sligh
