How to Keep the Shower Curtain from Blowing in!

Image
There’s almost nothing worse than having a shower curtain that keeps blowing in on you when you’re showering. I had the same shower curtain and liner for quite a long time and it always blew in while showering. We’d stretch it out to the sides, we’d pull back one corner, use the suction cup thingies – you know, try all the tricks to prevent it from blowing in on us. Nothing ever seemed to work. I never knew why this happened or what to do about it, but now I do! We remodeled our bathroom recently and of course with the remodel and makeover came a new shower curtain and liner. We learned why our shower curtain always blew in on us and how to fix the problem. Stop the Shower Curtain from Sticking to you! If you’re having this happen, you know that it is a gross feeling too. Even though you know you had just washed the liner, when it sticks to you it’s just ick, ugh, feels gross lol . Well, get ready to put that gross feeling behind you, because I’ve figured out why we always had problem...

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 ...

How to Make a Relatively Sweet Shower – Cheap

Our new shower – for the duration of this trip So the Mustache family is now happily living in the little vacation suite I built for us with the indispensable help of my friend and host Johnny Aloha . There are still some finishing touches to add (including paint), but for the most part everything works now. The nicest part of this place is the shower, which you can see there in the picture on the left. Ooh, ahh.. looks cozy, doesn’t it? Well I like it, anyway, and I wanted to build something that would serve as a centerpiece to this future rental unit that would anchor it in the luxury market and thus allow it to earn higher rents forever . The cool part is, it didn’t really cost much to build. Those floor-to- ceiling travertine tiles , dark slate, river rock floor stones , and even the handle and valve set were all found on Craigslist at a deep discount. The shampoo nook which keeps your wife’s shaving razors from messing with your personal space is just a few extra cuts on the tile...
