New ideas to glamorize old baths

I have spent years dreaming about remodeling my two bathrooms. Finally, I have come to the point of saying "goodbye" to the old and "hello" to the new.
What better place to get design ideas than the Internet site, houzz.com. Not only is this site inspiring but it allows me to see what other designers around the world are doing.
I found some standout features!

  • A favorite is the narrow wall-mounted shelf, makeup counter with mirror above. Perfect for glamorizing a small bath for yourself or overnight guests.

  •    A vanity that looks like furniture is elegant. Instead of the vanity going wall-to-wall with backsplash all around, here is space between the vanity and two side walls with a backslash only on the back wall.

  •   Removing most of the wall here opens up the space and makes the bath look bigger. A great idea, if you have a wall and pocket door leading into the tub/toilet area. The trim is beautiful and adds a finished touch.

  • We expect to find towel bars in hotels but now we are seeing them in homes. The dual function - top shelf for towels or clothes and bar on bottom to hang items are great to have for small baths.

Finally, here are features I want to include in my own very small bath remodel:

  • Medicine cabinets with built-n electrical outlets to keep toothbrush chargers and shavers out of sight! High on MY list!  There are so many stylish options these days but having personal items hidden and still accessible gets my vote. It makes for clutter-free countertops and neater drawers.

  • Wall-mounted faucet. I like this streamlined look and having fewer objects to clean on the countertop.

One more thing. Do you, like me, like to have a pullout spray nozzle faucet on bath sink? So convenient if you want to wash your hair without taking a shower at the same time. So easy to clean up after!

What would you like on your list? I can help you find it.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Creative table tops add to dining experience

www.jellinadetmar.nl Whether it’s tea for two on an island in Capri or dinner for 10 in your home, a creative table setting adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. You can play with so many ideas, a Mediterranean theme, or Mexican or African…just about any country on the globe has cultural objects. If you do not have the accessories to start with, begin collecting whenever you see something that would work. It’s amazing what you can find shopping on your own house if you think out of the box. I always find something that I purchased on my travels like wraps from Africa or straw beach mat from Mexico as a table runner, bracelet from Hawaii as napkins holder, etc. Scarf from South of Africa Candles? Always! Add votives to take your centerpiece from day to night. You can play with colors and different heights to make the table décor interesting. You could go seasonal and use greenery in your garden or find some objects at the local nursery or your supermarket. A li...
