Bath Shower Ha Na

BY ROBERT P. MADER OF CONTRACTOR'S STAFF You're not just washing your hands or a dish, you're living a lifestyle and plumbing manufacturers are happy to help. When the home builders met in Orlando, Fla., in January, their show was all about function (April, pg. 39) . The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show , on the contrary, is all about pizzazz. While the show covers everything one will find in a kitchen or bathroom, the 60,000 designers, contractors and remodelors at this year's show in April in Chicago saw plenty of plumbing products . High-tech plumbing Kohler has entered the programmable shower market with its DTV custom showering system . Featuring the DTV Digital Interface and DTV Digital Shower Valve , the product offers customized shower experiences with multiple showerheads, hand showers and body sprays. The DTV's pre- set hydrotherapy experiences include up, down and wave massage, as well as temperature therapy that can ...

Shutterstock.com The shower gets more use than the bathtub in many households. That’s why some homeowners are ripping out their tubs completely, creating bigger showers instead. Extra shower space allows for multiple shower heads , a built-in seat and designs without shower doors, said John Petrie, president of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, in an email interview about current kitchen and bath trends. They can be designed without a threshold — which look more contemporary and are easier for people to use as they get older. “People really like the bigger showers . They like that there’s elbow room,” said Susie Johnson, a real-estate agent with Coldwell Banker Gundaker in St. Louis. Meanwhile, comments she hears from prospective buyers about whirlpool tubs when walking through a property are often along the lines of: “That’s a nice tub but I don’t take baths,” she said. ...

What do the Augusta National Golf Club and a North Georgia cabin rental have in common? The name Amen Corner, familiar both to golfers and golf fans as the most beautiful spot on the course, is also the name of a luxurious mountaintop cabin with spectacular views that can be yours for a very special vacation getaway . Built as a spec home for a developer, this tri- level showplace is decked out with designer touches and upscale features including two river rock gas fireplaces , dual sinks in master and main baths, staircases with rock wall and branch spindle railings , and floor-to-cathedral-ceiling windows that frame its family room, where you can fire up the gas fireplace as you watch the 55” flat screen TV, one of five in the cabin. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, outfitted with dual ovens, granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, bread-warmer drawer and every culinary tool you could possibly need. But if you don’t want to cook, no problem—it’s just a ten-m...

Like a great recipe, each ingredient matters when designing a workable kitchen. The need to make smart choices multiplies when it's a small kitchen that needs to be efficient and pretty. A smooth work flow , ample storage and every needed thing within reach make the busiest room in the house a pleasure to be in, rather than a chore. To learn how to make the most of a compact kitchen, we turned to Linda Blackwood of Interiors by Blackwood. She designs lots of kitchens under 150 square feet, from century-old houses to contemporary dwellings. Recently, Blackwood redesigned a kitchen for a chef who does a lot of baking and teaches cooking classes in her home. An underused area was made into a baking center. In one cabinet, a mixer can be pulled up when needed with a counter space for rolling out pastry. Here, deep, 36-inch- wide drawers store bakeware .  For another client, an antique collector , Blackwood is updating a century-old Mediterranean-style house. The kitchen, which is 112...

It was certainly a process of a few month’s work, but my brother-in-law, Bruce, finished up their master bath renovation and it looks fabulous!  I can’t wait to share it with you all.  Did you know that kitchens and master baths are right at the top of the list for spaces to renovate in a home that will add the most value?  It’s true.  I hear it all the time.  Most folks when they are looking at a resale home really love it when it has an up to date kitchen and renovated master bath , so hopefully these master bath renovation ideas will give you some things to ponder. So, not only will they get to enjoy the beauty and newness of their master bath, it will add value to their home too, when they sell it down the road.  That’s a win-win for sure.  And also the fact that Bruce did the work himself saved them a TON of money.  Bruce shared with me that he spent about $8,500 on the whole bathroom project, including the new Closet Maid closet system that he bought and installed too.  That’s...
