Hotel bathrooms in Italy

Image
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 ...

What to Expect by Rick Steves

European bathrooms can be quirky by American standards. Your hotel’s WC may come with luxurious heated towel racks — or a rattling fan and leaky sink. Just keep an open mind, and remember that nothing beats a good bathroom story when you get home. No matter what, my advice is to wash up quickly and get out and about in the place you came to enjoy. First, don’t expect big spaces . Over the years, hotel owners have carved out chunks of elegant bedrooms to shoehorn in prefab private bathrooms — and they can be very tight. Counter space is often limited, and showers can be surprisingly tight, especially if you’re a larger person. Be careful bending over to pick up a dropped bar of soap — you might just hit your head on the toilet or sink. Even in top-end hotels, I find some things poorly designed . Once, I used a particularly narrow shower stall with the hot/cold lever directly in the center. If I nudged it accidently while washing, it would either scald or freeze me....

DIY Industrial Factory Window Shower Door

Hi y'all! It's Lauren from Bless'er House, and I'm so excited to be back sharing another DIY to perk up your basic builder grade .  My inbox has already been flooding with emails begging me to spill the details on this one! In December, I shared my statement- making faux fireplace that completely transformed our living room.  After the New Year, I devised a plan to bring another big statement-making feature into our home, only this time, in our bathroom. factory window " width="410" height="800" />   I had seen these gorgeous industrial style factory window shower doors all over Pinterest recently, and I was instantly smitten for them.  The only problem was those gorgeous doors were very much out of my price range and would require some demo work with professional installation.   So I figured out a way to make the factory window look on my existing builder grade shower door . The best part- I accomplished it for just under $60. How to Ma...

A Master Bath Renovation

Image
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...
