The ultimate organized bathroom | Style at Home

Image
Whether you have a family, roommates or live on your own, the bathroom is probably the most used room in the house, so it's bound to get messy. Use these 10 products to keep this space organized, and make sure it stays that way! 1 Frosted apothecary jars Frosted glass apothecary jars will discreetly corral everything from cotton balls to bath suds. Because these jars have stoppers, you can be sure your bath salts won ’t harden as quickly as they do when left open. Restoration Hardware , $14 US. 2 Towel rack If you can spare the f loor space, a towel rack next to a shower stall or tub is much handier than reaching across the room while dripping wet. This chrome version is by CB2 (which displays Canadian pricing including duties when searching its site). CB2, $99.95. 3 Medicine cabinet A medicine cabinet is one of the most functional accessories you can put in a bathroom, and is worth splurging on for a rust-resistant, high quality unit .

2012 Winnebago Journey 36M Road Test

Image
A popular song whimsically suggests that “life is a  journey, and not a destination,” which may have a passing correlation to Winnebago’s wish that your travels include one of its new Journey motorhomes . With a record of building some of the best, most durable coaches in the business, the name Winnebago has all but become synonymous with the term motorhome itself. Winnebago’s Journey class is not its first trip around the block in building upscale diesels . Though no entry-level coaches in any sense of the word, the Journey line represents the less expensive of the company’s two diesel-powered offerings (the Tour being the top tier), with prices beginning higher than $245,000. roomy galley boasts 22 square feet of counterspace." width="300" height="199" /> The roomy galley boasts 22 square feet of counterspace.

This Flatiron studio comes with a sleeping loft, but it'll cost you

Sleeping lofts aren ’t for everyone. Neither are $970,000 price tags (especially for studio apartments!). But if you don’t mind the former and can swing the latter, you might want to check out this 11th-floor unit at 254 Park Avenue South in the Flatiron District. The apartment measures just 506 square feet, but the 12- foot ceilings make the space seem larger than it actually is. The main living area has dark- hued oak flooring , an exposed brick wall and lights that are recessed into a beam running across the room. When you first enter the apartment, there’s an area that, as the place is currently staged, serves as a desk nook. Across from that is a small, retractable dining table pushed against the wall. Next is a living area, currently set up with a couch, coffee table, and TV. A brick divider partitions the main room, and is currently augmented by a striking bookcase/shelving unit. Oddly, the area on the other side of the divider currently has a bed in it, and there are no p...

Redemption Lake by Susan Clayton-Goldner

Image
Tucson, Arizona 1989 – Eighteen-year-old Matt Garrison is harboring two terrible secrets: his involvement in the drowning death of his 12-year-old cousin, and a night of drunken sex with his best friend’s mother, Crystal, whom he finds dead the following morning. Guilt forces Matt to act on impulse and hide his involvement with Crystal.   Detective Winston Radhauser knows Matt is hiding something. But as the investigation progresses, Radhauser’s attention is focused on Matt’s father. Matt’s world closes in when his dad is arrested for Crystal’s murder and Travis breaks off their friendship. Despite his father’s guilty plea, Matt knows his dad is innocent and only trying to protect his son. Devastated and bent on self-destruction, Matt heads for the lake where his cousin died—the only place he believes can truly free him. Are some secrets better left buried? Redemption Lake is a novel of love and betrayal. It’s about truth and lies, friendship and redemption, about assuming responsib...

9 Space-Saving Ideas for Your Small Bathroom

Image
Photo: Björn Wallander In many cases, baths are already among the smallest rooms in a home—so what do you do when yours is especially petite? For help maximizing your space, we turned to Manhattan- based interior designer Nick Olsen . Olsen originally burst onto the scene as a blog darling known for imbuing small spaces with grandeur, wit, and the kind of high-end design once reserved only for those with serious square footage. Though these days Olsen's services are coveted by clients with space to spare (case in point: the Brooklyn brownstone seen in the August 2015 issue of Architectural Digest ), his skills for decorating tight spots are as bright as ever. Read on for his smart moves on getting more space in the bath—as well as a couple of trompe l'oeil tips on making the room look larger, against all odds.

The Transformative Power of Paint: Peacock Blue Bathroom

Image
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 ...
