Bath Shower Ha Na

As the Preppy meets Hollywood Regency Bathroom Makeover (that wasn’t supposed to happen) progressed, I had a brilliant idea. I would make a shower cornice . I had always wanted one, so now was the perfect time. This would not be just any cornice though. No, no, no. It would be a Greek Key Carved Shower Cornice . I spent hours actually using a ruler and level (instead of eyeballing it) drawing the perfect greek key pattern on my new cornice. And then I went to carve it out. Who the hell was I kidding? After about 15 minutes of trying to follow those lines, I realized it was going to look already looked like sh*t. Instead of tossing it into the trash though, I flipped the board over and whipped up a little Trash to Treasure Shower Cornice .

Shower Curtains - doorsixteen.com" width="740" height="1110" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23152" /> Saskia Pomeroy Plants Shower Curtain , Urban Outfitters Yesterday’s post about my bathroom makeover got me thinking about shower curtains . I mentioned that I’ve been considering putting removable wallpaper below the chair rail, but D16 reader MaryMargaret commented that the removable wallpaper she recently had installed in a powder room is now lifting at the seams. If that’s how it holds up in a bathroom without a tub/shower, then I have concerns. I don’t want to go the traditional wallpaper route because I’m renting. Maybe getting my bold pattern fix by way of a great shower curtain is a better option! I still may paint the lower half of the wall another color just to ground the room a bit, too. I keep picturing a super-pale, slightly “dirty” pink. Reader Sarah V. recommended the shower curtain at the top of the post, this happy, gr...

fullscreen The team behind comely Williamsburg venue Baby 's All Right are opening Elvis Guesthouse tonight , a new bar-club on Avenue A in what used to be Arrow Bar. Zachary Mexico and Billy Jones shuttered their subterranean bar earlier this year and have now rebuilt the space in the image of a Far East guesthouse , complete with a shower-type room with its own transparent shower curtains . If this is sounding like a good spot for a sexy bath house hookup , just wait 'til you see the Kama Sutra wallpaper in the proper bathrooms. If you're wondering what Elvis has to do with guesthouses, direct your attention to a legend that the King faked his own death, fled to the Middle East and opened up his own bar. So is the team made up of Elvis truthers ? "We’re more into the idea of infinite possibility, and of questioning the ‘reality’ of what people refer to as ‘facts,’" explains Mexico. "If we have learned anything in the Information age, it’s that history is...

With exceedingly rare exceptions , you will never find a Turkish toilet in an Italian hotel—but you will find them in most bars and plenty of other public restrooms. You have been warned. You may expect to find the most cultural difference in Italy in the museums and architecture, the way people talk and act, the food they eat, and the unstomachable national brands of liqueur they drink, but nowhere is culture shock greater than in the bathroom. These mysterious and unfathomable ceramic shrines are a bundle of the unexpected and the entirely novel. It starts in a cheap pensione when you discover that the only bathroom is down the hall, coed, and is shared by everyone on the floor... This bath is your bath, this bath is my bath. Among Italian hoteliers, it's a bit of a mystery why so many American travelers so strongly object to sharing a bathroom. From their point of view, they find it a bit odd that many of us feel we cannot sleep in a room unless there's a toilet right ...

The bulk of Australia is once again bracing for a scorching heatwave. Not all of us have the luxury of airconditioning ... some of us have to make do with alternative methods. WITHOUT stating the bleeding obvious, it is hellishly hot in some parts of Australia at the moment. And unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to live in palatial mansions with airconditioning units. As such we’ve compiled some ‘hacks’ that will keep you cool during this heatwave. This basset hound knows where it’s at. Picture: iStock Source: istock Make the most of your fan (if you have one) * It’s important to remember that a fan will cool your body, but not a room — so don’t leave it switched on when you’re out of the room. * To boost the effectiveness of the fan, spritz your face with cold water from a water bottle before sitting in front of the fan. * You can also place a tray of ice in front of the fan for an extra icy blast ( Apartment Therapy shows how it’s done). * It’s also a good idea (if it’s...

Well, as I’ve been hinting around here and elsewhere, I got a wild hair at the weekend and decided to paint the bathroom. I haven’t shown much of my bathroom on my blog because it was just so blah with cream tiles, crummy cream laminate flooring that never quite looks clean, a swirly artex ceiling (mmm sexy) , white walls and a very large mirror that’s antiquing a bit – and not in a good way.  We have talked about ripping out the whole thing and starting again many times but the kitchen remodel has taken priority and the bathroom has taken a back seat. I had put a framed print and a shelf up months ago and finally decided to move a second print into the room last weekend which had been in the hallway just outside the bathroom.  It was only once I decided the second print actually added something to the room that I decided to just take the plunge and work with what I have until the time comes when we can look at spending proper money and energy on a remodel. One of the first times I ...
