Bath Shower Ha Na

It’s been an exciting week at my house!  My tile contractor started last Tuesday on the master bathroom and it’s been fun to watch the process and progress.  And it’s really been fun to not be doing the work.  It was 4 years ago that my dad and I were knee-deep in this house renovation all during the summer and we worked like dogs getting this house done in 6 months enough that I could even move in.  That’s not including all the other projects we have done since then, getting my house to where it is now. On that note, I was happy to hire this one out. It was way over my dad’s head and mine and we would not have been able to do it all.  A bathroom requires someone who knows what they are doing, so I got a recommendation from blog friends and came up with a guy who I called and he came out, gave me an estimate and I hired him to start.  I had to wait over a month to get him here, but the day finally came last week. I will share his information with you later, because I’m very happy wit...

Names: Finley (4-years-old) and Jackson (5 1/2 years old) Location: Seattle, Washington Room sizes: Bathroom - 47 square feet; Finley's Room - 100 square feet; Jackson's Room -130 square feet The adorable Finley and Jackson of Finley and Jackson's "Modern Shabby-Chic" Bedrooms & Playrooms are back with new and improved big kid bedrooms and bathroom. Their mom, Emily, had been thinking about adding a bathroom to the upper level of their home for years. The house—Emily and Kai's Thoughtful and Stunning Seattle Home —came with only 1.5 bathrooms when they purchased it six years ago, and the only shower/bathtub was in the master bathroom. Now that the kids are getting older (Finley is almost 4 years old and Jackson is 5 ½) and out of diapers, it's clear that they need their own bathroom. In order to add it, both bedrooms needed a new floor plan—this is what Emily came up with! Emily and Kai's home is a little over 1600 square feet, and there is...

Season 6, Episode 12 Bathroom With Bubble Tub A super small bathroom for two needs to get bigger, fast. This family of two is expecting, but before baby arrives, they want to make their bathroom space better. To do that, they are taking space from the room next door and adding it to the new layout to make one, massive suite. Black and white subway tile cover the walls.

Separate vanities, tub and shower space make the daily routine a breeze, especially with baby on the way. A tub with air bubble technology will give the new mom the perfect place to relax.

As the proprietor of the downtown Ann Arbor store Thistle and Bess, Diana stocks up and offers one-of-a-kind treasures for those seeking a luxurious lifestyle. And not surprisingly, she was looking to create a luxurious lifestyle in the 1890s house she bought. A fan of history and elegant English estates , the house's architecture was right up her design alley. The taupe bathroom was not. The transformation of this small space is nothing short of stunning. The taupe walls are gone, instead replaced with a classic toile wallpaper pattern , with a twist: "I have admired this wallpaper by Flavor Paper for years. It is screen printed in my old neighborhood in Brooklyn. After a long renovation process , I thought I was going to have to hold off on some design elements , like wallpaper, and add them later. In the end, I ended up splurging and insta...

Photography by Stacey Brandford 2 Problem: Our main floor powder room is teeny tiny and feels more like a closet. Make that small space shine like a diamond with a few glam updates. Paper the walls in a fun pattern, go bold with artwork and add some shine with brass scones. It will feel less like a closet and more like stepping inside a jewelry box!

Diane and John Atchison are right where they want to be. In fact they often refer to their remodeled three- bedroom brick ranch in Lansdowne as their “forever home.” “This is the first time we’ve created anything that we knew we were going to stay in,” Diane said. “It’s the first house we haven’t had to give consideration to resale, because we’re not selling .” John Atchison and the award- winning Atchison Heller Construction have been building and remodeling in Lexington for nearly 40 years. But back in the day when John was a fledgling builder, there was a lot of moving around for the Atchison family. “There was a 10 year stretch when we moved nine times,” Diane said. “We moved through three pregnancies, but we had it down, and it’s all been worth it.” The home is chock-full of amazing finishes and details, most notably the reclaimed barn wood creatively utilized throughout – custom cabinetry in the living room, exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling, accents that enclose a private ...
