A piece of antique furniture is the perfect way to add a unique and personalized touch to your bathroom.
The first thing you will have to do is to select an appropriate piece of furniture. Just keep in mind that the sink bowl and plumbing will extend down into the interior of the furniture so make sure there is plenty of room inside.
Your next step is to create a custom made countertop template for your new vanity. You will have a lot less hassles if you take the time to create a template before you begin cutting away. Follow the old carpenters rule of measuring twice, cutting once. Read the rest of this entry »

Dr. Phil and home renovations, seems kinda strange, doesn’t it? I mean, after all, isn’t Dr. Phil some kind of “Self Help Guru”, you would never think that he was also a bathroom guru. Well, stranger things have happened… As is turns out, a despondent lady wrote the Dr. Phil Show complaining that their house was in shambles because her overtly enthusiastic husband could not curb his urge to start renovation projects around their house but never seemed to be able to finish one before he started the next.

Have you heard the news? There will be job losses this year as the house building slump sends shockwaves through the economy. With the slowing down of the economy, house building jobs will be lost due to the fall in demand for new homes and the cost to build a new home will increase dramatically. The banks, house builders and property bankers have never had it so good with mortgage rates and lending rates outstripping the salaries of the common man. Economist predict that if trends continue on their present course, the public will suffer foreclosures and new home owners will have no chance to afford a mortgage in the future. This paints a doomsday picture in the minds of some people as they feel the tightening fingers of recession grip the throat of the economy.

Light, whether natural or artificial, can have a profound effect on the atmosphere of the room and its decoration. Most traditional bathrooms came with a fixture over the sink or a combo light fixture/ventilation fan located approximately in the middle of the 5ft x 8ft ceiling. The narrowly focused light from this fixture did a great job of lighting the sink but unfortunately cast weird shadows under your eyes, cheek bones and chin.
