Modern Bathroom Ideas

You distinct you want to do a bathroom remodeling but you do not have a clue how it should look like. If you have a small flat bathroom in Novato or a large bathroom that needs remodeling you can draw upon this article some ideas that I consider useful for any home possessor that wants to make a home improvement, especially a bathroom remodeling.

Bathroom remodeling has some limits. Some of these limits ar set by its functionality. Another limit is set by the space that needs to be remodeled. Colors should be chosen under some restrictions, just like healthful ware shapes.

Modern is colorful

Modern bathrooms are colored. A smart color combination is the key of having a reposeful and joyful bathroom. Ceramic tiles can be mixed in bold combination’s like black and red, red and white, green yellow and black, white and orange, turquoise and white, lime and brown. Sanitary ware can be round, square, rectangular, or oval.

If you choose a square sink you mechanically have to buy square sink and bathtub. Always combine healthful ware that have the same shape. When you do your bathroom remodeling plan take care to match mirror design with furniture.

You can have a spa in your home if you have a large bathroom. You can relax daily in a whirlpool tub. If you place it in the center of the bathroom, be sure that it will draw everyone’s attention.

Wood in the bathroom

Most people think that wood and bathroom is non a good combination. But special treated wood can resist to condensation if it is properly maintained.

Wooden bathtub is a hit. Yellow, orange or white harmonize with wooden bathtubs. If you want a wooden bathtub for your bathroom you can choose wallpaper in one of the colours that I have mentioned above.

Beige and small bathrooms

Because space is a real problem, bathroom remodeling for small bathrooms has some limits. One limit is selecting the colors. To create the illusion of a bigger room, beige is a very good color option for small bathrooms. If you do non like beige, you can go for blue, pale green, soft yellow or even clear pink. Wall mounted cabinets ar recommended for small bathrooms.

Back to basics: natural materials

Ceramic tiles and wood is a simple combination that is very catchy in an urban bathroom. You can find stone bathtub and sink that have a unique design. Antique faucets are pop and do not need special installation care. If you choose this design complete it with earthly colored ceramic tiles. If you budget allows you to spend more money, marble is the best solution for back to nature bathroom.

Your bathroom should reflect your personality. If you are an active person, then vibrant colours should be on your wish list. If you have a small apartment bathroom in Novato and you would like it be jolly, pick colored accessories and you will see the difference. Bathrooms should be about relaxation and spending good moments. Remodel your bathroom to suit your needs and you will have spa experiences in the comfort of your own home.

Pink Saturday Apron Giveaway #6

Our weather has changed dramatically in the past few days, getting much colder. I looked out the patio window this morning and thought I'd get a few pictures of the last vestiges of summer. Fall is officially here. Our cherry tree got zapped by a frost a few nights ago, but today it's looking even more frosted. I can see Love Bunny's mower tracks in the grass. It crunched under my feet at about 9 am this morning. And just to the right in the photo are the tomato plants dying. Hubs picked the last ones a few days ago and we are now trying to distribute them to as many neighbors as we can!

This little carpet rose bush is struggling to keep going up until the very last minute.

I try to keep my photos at 800 pixels wide so you can't see this very well but if you could see it at 3800 pixels you would see the frost on the roses. It looks like sugar frosting. Just beautiful to view it in the garden.

Rooms and Random Thoughts

We've returned from a week with our granddaughter and her family. It was wonderful and very tiring for both of us, but we did bond a bit with Caroline. She's such a delight.

I woke up yesterday at 4 am and got up about 5 am, came in here and surfed a while, went back to bed at 6 and finally got up at 7 am. I hit the floor running and finally about 9 pm I sat down. It was the busiest day I've had for months.

Rooms I've thought were very pretty. Actually, they're just "fluff" to my...Random Thoughts that follow. ;-)

This sofa reminds me of one my grandmother had when I was a kid.

The lamp on the side table is what capture my attention mostly.

I LOVE this sofa!

Why can't my bedroom look this good?

Again, red/pink and yellow. My favorite color combination.

There isn't anything about this room I don't like. I love love love this room.

A gorgeous traditional bedroom.

~*~

Random Thoughts:

I ate my way through 3 states again. I'm feeling so fat it seems as if I've been raised from birth for sacrifice.
*

Hubs and I are silly sometimes when driving on a trip. Actually, I'm silly most of the time, but life is fun for me.

Anyway, while driving back from Washington I was looking at hubs' profile and mentioned to him that I'd like to see that little smirk I love so much and is sooooo sexy. It takes him a while to get that smirk right, and I tell him when he's reached that point but this time I went further. I said, "What do you know that I don't?", just as a question—because that smirk reminds me of someone who knows something I don't. He said, "Well, I know a lot about Plutonium 238." Ooookaaaay, let's go with that then. (When he was in the Marines he was in nuclear weapons and knows a lot about that sort of thing. He doesn't tell me everything as it was on a "need to know" basis and didn't consider me a "need-to-know" person and refuses to tell me things that he did 40 years ago in the military. That's fine.

Next, we saw a man and his son on horseback on a road just off the freeway here in Idaho. I said, "They must be looking for their cows." He said, "There aren't any cows in sight." I said, "I said they must be looking for them, not found them!"
*

We follow the advice we get from our church leaders as diligently as we can. Several years ago we were counseled to not deface our bodies with tattoos or have more than one earring in our ears—women—and men to not wear earrings at all. We've always had counsel to not smoke or drink alcohol and I don't. When I look at what's happening in our world today I think of how wise our church leaders are in this counsel. It's our choice but wise counsel. I now see beautiful young women and men with tattoos running up and down their arms, on their faces and even grandmothers with them. I've never ever liked defacing my body and don't and even removed the earrings from my ears. I think our church leaders knew the coming rage among people and warned us to follow the example of Christ. I'm sure glad I did. Although Love Bunny has a USMC tattoo on his bicep, he tries to not let it show by wearing shirts that cover it and besides, he had it long before he joined the church. Our bodies are our temples.
*

I haven't yet started on my Italian lessons as I've been so busy just with life but I'll do it probably next year. I took Spanish and French in high school and in college and have forgotten most of it, but I do speak fluent sarcasm!
*

In this family the competition is pretty stiff establishing one's self as an eccentric, but I give it the my best shot to out-eccentric my daughter. Sometimes it's a losing battle. Truly! My granddaughter and I are just thrilled she rethought her decision and finally refused Judge Judy's invitation to be on her show. This is true; I kid you not! Whew.
*

I think you've had enough of me for one day. Smile, I love all of ya!
