How to Make a Relatively Sweet Shower – Cheap

Image
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...

Lois Frankel's mayoral bathroom takes a hit in Adam Hasner attack ad

The battle between congressional candidates Lois Frankel and Adam Hasner has fallen into the toilet. Democrat Frankel and Republican Hasner are competing in the South Florida Congressional 22 district that is currently home to U.S. Rep. Allen West who has switched districts. In Hasner’s ad "Gotta Go" the incensed female narrator says: "That Lois Frankel is something. She gave herself a 40 percent pay raise . Charged us for a police helicopter ride to go to a dinner party. But the worst part? Frankel spent over $13,000 in taxpayer money on a marble shower in a private bathroom with her own toilet. What a waste. All that money right down the drain for her own personal use," says the narrator, as a close-up of her hand is shown flushing a white toilet. Now the screen reveals that our narrator is sitting on a toilet next to a roll of toilet paper and a white shower curtain : "When you gotta go, you gotta go, but that’s just ridiculous." We’ve already ch...

How to buy a bathtub

Image
Whether ritualistic, religious or curative, bathing has always been about more than just personal hygiene, and the modern bathroom is no exception. Not just a functional space, it’s a haven to retreat to after a hard day, somewhere to relax mind and body. The bath is the focal point, so it makes sense to choose one that’s beautiful as well as useful. But with hundreds of shapes, styles and materials available, where do you start? Don’t get into a lather – we’ve found the hottest tubs to suit every budget. Before you buy a bath ‘Never buy a bath on a whim,’ warns Jonathan Carter , marketing manager at Victoria & Albert . ‘To ensure you’re happy with your investment, reserve time for choosing the right one.’ The first things to consider are space and budget, and how much of each you have. As a general rule, a freestanding bath will take up more inches and more pennies than a built-in number. Combined bath and shower Think about who will be using your new bath and in which way. ‘Showe...
