Over the last decade or sow, “low flow toilet” had come to be a phrase that evokes both mistrust and disdain. Because of environmental laws passed in the early ’90s, older style toilets have been phased out in favor of new, more environmentally friendly ones that use significantly less water per flush. The problem is […]
I’ve gotta tell you, I love hot water – hot showers, hot baths, hot springs, steam baths, you name it. Heck, I even take my morning cup of tea extra hot. But while I have a pretty high resistance to heat, even I’ve gotten burned on occasion by an extra hot tap or a poorly […]
Modern design is all about balancing sleek lines and basic shapes with empty space. The minimalist feel makes your space seem larger than it is, and leaves it looking clean and refined. A bathroom typically has less furniture than any other room in your home, so it lends well to the style. In fact, in most […]

The big tub with all the jets has everybody’s vote. It’s as simple as queen size bed versus king size. Nothing beats a spa with jets in the master bathroom. Bathtubs with jets have many restorative powers for people and pets. If your dog is allowed in the bathtub, the jets massage deep tissue and […]
The addition of a handheld shower head to your tub will give you the option of taking a bath and washing your hair without dunking your head in hot soapy water. It’s better for your hair and doesn’t irritate your eyes to have the option of turning on a hand held shower and applying water […]
