Beautiful Bathroom Fixtures and accessories

by

Spring is a time of change and renewal. Time to look at the world with fresh eyes, so it’s only natural that so many of us begin to think about renovating or redecorating our homes.

As many of you know my husband and I have been renovating our home since the day we moved in six and a half years ago! It’s been a long slow process and I bet that by the time we’re finished we’ll be thinking of moving! One of the projects that we hope to complete this year is upgrading our upstairs bathroom and completely renovating our basement. Our basement also has a bathroom so that means we’ll be working on two bathrooms!

If you are in the midst of upgrading or renovating your bathroom you might want to visit Home & Stone. They have a wide selection of bathroom fixtures from which to choose.

Winter’s not anywhere close to being over yet, especially tonight with the ice storm that’s currently raging outside, however you’d never know it when you walk around the neighborhood. It seems that at least one house in 10 in undergoing major renovations. In fact, my elderly neighbors home just started being renovated last week.

I don’t where my neighbors or their contractors are getting their products, but if you happen to be upgrading, renovating or having a new home built you might want to take a look at the products at Builders Electronics.

Trying to make plans for our bathroom reno project

by

Once my husband and I complete our living room dining room renovation project it will be time to move on to the next project. We won’t be taking a break in between projects since the living room dinning room reno has taken forever and has been more break than work lately.

I’ve love to work on our upstairs bathroom. It’s so small! At this point I haven’t decided whether we’ll work with the very small space that we have or if we’ll knock down a wall and expand the bathroom. Obviously knocking down a wall and expanding would be what I’d prefer to do as we’d be able to have a very nice upstairs bathroom if we did that.

Still … it’s a much bigger project in every way from expenses to the amount of work that would have to be done. We’d have to move the pipes and drains and so on. I’m not sure we’re up for that right now. Not on our own anyway.

So, if I were to stick with just renovating the small space that we currently have I think that it might be best to take out the bathtub altogether and install a very nice shower. Ideally I think something like this shower would work well in our small space. I think it would take a little less room than a bathtub so we’d be able to put a upright cabinet in the bathroom as well.

Right now we’ve just got a toilet, bathtub with makeshift shower and a very small sink with an under sink storage cabinet.

Speaking of sinks I’d love to get a new sink. One that looks like a beautiful bowl sitting on a table or counter with wall mount taps above the bowl. That would look beautiful.

I’ve actually been looking at the selection of bathroom tubs, showers, taps, furnishings and accessories at www.Taps4Less.com to get some ideas for our bathroom renovation project.

As you can tell I don’t have any definite plans for this upcoming project. It’s going to be a difficult project whether we keep the bathroom as is or expand.

Any ideas?
