I’ve posted about other people’s powder room re-dos, but now it’s my turn. When I first did this powder room, I truly believed I would NEVER want to change it. The soft gray walls, black and white photos, white pedestal sink and toilet, hardwood floors and the then-so-chic shiny brass fixtures. For me, contemplating a makeover is serious business. I’ve been deliberating about this for the past year. Continue Reading
Bathroom needs a makeover but the budget is tight? The gentlefolk at Bath Fitter sent along these eight tips to give your bathroom a facelift in a tough economy.
Cast your eyes upon Virginia Gardiner’s LooWatt, a toilet made out of poop. The waterless toilet collects solid waste which is deposited into a container lined with ‘a carbon impregnated biodegradable film’ made of starch.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is TRUE waste management. Continue Reading

but laying the new bead of caulk is the fun part. Not only are you taking care of a needed repair, but you’re also going to get almost instant gratification with a beautiful, fresh, waterproof seal. Continue Reading
I’m going to come right out and say it. I HATE our bathroom with a
fiery passion. After living with it for a year-and-a-bit I decided that
something had to be done. Now my first choice would have been to rip
it out, burn the pieces and salt the earth, cursing all the while.
Trouble is this is a rental, and the agency might have a problem with
that.
Here’s the before and after shots:
Note the ill advised blue paint on the 70’s medicine cabinet doors and the 40 million miles of impossible-to-clean floor grout. Continue Reading
