Small bathrooms often get the short end of the stick when it comes to availability of luxury upgrades. After all, it's hard to have a big, sweeping shower stall when your bathroom itself is neither big nor sweeping, and ditto for a roomy soaking tub or whirlpool. In bathrooms where there isn't much space to spare, you often end up having to choose between having either a shower or a bathtub, or combining them into a single unit, which all too often means a boring acrylic bathtub shower combination that doesn't feel very luxurious at all >>>...
There are two kinds of people in this world: people who wash, and people who bathe. If you're the latter, you probably know what I mean - whether you're taking a hot shower or a luxurious bubble bath, it isn't just about getting in, getting out, and getting clean. For bathers, the journey (the long soak, the relaxation) trumps the destination (merely getting clean) >>>...

Thinking about buying a hot tub but worried about the weather? Sure, lounging in in a tub of hot water, watching the steam rise and the snow fall sounds pretty picturesque - but climbing out into the cold and making a run for the door isn't quite so fun!

From a simple two person tub like this Whirlpool model to extravagant custom designs and one-of-a-kind art pieces, indoor hot tubs address many of the problems posed by more conventional outdoor ones. Indoor pools can be used year-round, regardless of outside temperature, and require less maintenance because they aren't exposed to the elements - or falling leaves!
In fact, an indoor hot tub can b >>>...

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 to your home, you really can't beat shower doors for style - or as a long-term investment. Depending on the scope of your project, it can even be worth replacing your existing shower door to update your look >>>...
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.
