Today I want to talk a little bit about shower walls, or, more specifically, the underloved, unappreciated shower stall. Now, I’ll admit that I understand the relative absence of shower stall style shower walls on design shows or what have you. If you have a big budget, you’re probably going to have the shower tiled, […]
We spend a lot of time here on homethangs talking about big, luxurious dream bathrooms, the sprawling kinds of remodels you’d see on TV or in a magazine. But not everyone has a bathroom big enough to accommodate all the luxuries of a designer bathroom, or even one with enough space for a separate tub […]

Now, there are plenty of reasons you might prefer a shower curtain to a glass shower door, but if you want a sleek, sophisticated looking bathroom, and especially if you want your bathroom renovation to add value […]

Now, at the time, and for a good while after, most people weren’t exactly eager to jump on the […]
A lot of things go into making a bathroom beautiful, but not all of it has to be big. If you’re in the middle of a major remodel, forgetting about the little things can be a huge mistake – as is assuming you can’t give an outdated bathroom a facelift without a huge investment. The […]
