Today we got our first real snow up here in the frozen north, and waking up to all that white powder (and a home that’s a few degrees colder than I might like) got me to thinking about ways to keep warm this winter. I’ve already raided my spiced tea stash and fought the cat […]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about small, DIYable home improvement projects, especially for the bathroom. While there’s a good argument for routine remodeling and regular renovations, sometimes a little goes a long way in a small space like the bathroom. So if you’re looking to do a little face lift or add a little […]

Seasons come and go and design trends change right along with them. So even if you’re in the habit of updating your home regularly, last year’s words of wisdom usually don’t still apply. And if it’s been even longer since you’ve updated your bathroom, it can be even harder to figure out what’s hot and […]

I think that heat+water is possibly the best combination ever devised, excluding the summer in the deep south. Other than that, you name it – hot baths, hot showers, steam baths, saunas, hot springs – and I love it. I’m not alone, either. Most of the rest of the world has and uses public steam […]

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.

It’s shower week here on homethangs, and today I want to talk a little bit about shower doors. 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 […]

When planning a major bathroom remodel, there are a lot of things to think about, and a lot of decisions to make – some of them fun, and some of them practical. The fun decisions are easy to make – this jacuzzi tub or that steam bath and so on. But unless you have some […]

Shower Doors vs. Shower Curtains – Which Is Right For You?

It’s the age old question of bathroom design, and probably the one that depends the most on your personal taste: shower curtains or shower doors? There are arguments for or against either one, but despite the fact that they serve exactly the same function, they’re vastly different in style, cost, maintenance, and even user experience. […]
