			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When building a home, we do not neglect the fact that most of our time  will be spent in bathrooms. We could be taking a bath, using the toilet,  preparing to go out, preparing to sleep, or merely brushing your teeth  after every meal. Half of the day is spent on using the bathroom. In  rational computations, the bathroom is the most used room in the <a href="http://www.thunderhillnaturepark.org/" target="_blank">house</a> compared to the bedroom and the living room. So if we spend most of our  time here, we should be choosing the perfect bathroom furniture for us  to place in it.</p>
<p>To plan your bathroom furniture, think about the  space that you have available to spare. You may draw a plan or a sketch  of your desired bathroom and then later on figure out what kinds or  types of furnishings you want in it. What do you want to do in your  bathroom? This is a major question whenever deciding on what bathroom  furniture to buy. Are you the type who has fast paced living and does  not require a tub? A shower enclosure would do. Of course we never  forget the toilet seat. A bidet is optional for those people who have  money to spare. Your lavatory or sink will have to match them as well,  color and make. Nowadays it is popular to furnish your bathroom with  stainless steel. The theme is very modern and is also maintenance free.  It doesn&#8217;t chip, easy to clean and also not prone to many bacteria and  germs.</p>
<p>Next is the type of storage requirement you want. Do you  need a medicine cabinet, drawer, towel and robe closet, and the likes?  After pondering on this, look at your sketch and plan on where to put  these storage areas. Will the closet be the first thing you need when  you enter your bathroom? Is your medicine cabinet placed right above  your vanity or somewhere else? Thoughts like these will help you decide  on what kinds and colors your storage areas would be.</p>
<p>Another  thing to think about is how long you usually stay in your bathroom. If  you are the type who spends hours in the bathroom without doing anything  productive at all, you may want to integrate a magazine rack somewhere  near the toilet seat and the tub. Music equipment is also fine as long  as you are careful in arranging the cables since a bathroom always have  water present.</p>
<p>Finally, do not forget about the little details  which make your bathroom furniture as complete as it can be. Your towel  racks, soap dishes, tissue handles, shower and faucet heads and knobs,  toothbrush holder etc. Additional items would be the rugs, first aid kit  and of course, your indoor decors. Always remember, a <a href="http://www.thunderhillnaturepark.org/category/furniture/bathroom/" target="_blank">bathroom</a> is an  essential if not the most important room in our house. People can live  in a house without a bedroom but cannot live without a bathroom. If my  bathroom is well arranged, clean and spacious, I could very well sleep  there. What do you need a bedroom for? Choose your bathroom furniture  wisely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-610 alignleft" title="Bathroom Remodeling Ideas" src="http://www.thunderhillnaturepark.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Bathroom_remodeling_Big_Bath__6a-600x398.jpg" alt="Bathroom_remodeling_Big_Bath__6a-600x398" width="511" height="338" /></p>
<p>Bathroom remodeling is one of the best ways of preparing a home for  sale. After kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels are next in raising the  sales value of your home.</p>
<p>Bathroom remodeling ideas need not be reserved for a house that is to be  sold, however. You can enjoy a bathroom remodel now, and know that it  will be an advantage when the time comes to sell the home.</p>
<p>The home&#8217;s bathrooms are the rooms of heavy use. As such, they get a lot  of wear and time. They also are seen many times each day. Bathroom  remodels can keep your baths looking good and functioning properly.</p>
<p>There are many ways that you can remodel a bathroom. Here are a few  ideas.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Wall Tiles</strong>: <span id="more-609"></span>Most contractors will tell you that 4 by 4 inch  wall tiles are outdated. Replace them with 8 by 13 inch glazed ceramic  tiles. The new tiles will be attractive and will help prevent mold. They  will also keep your lower walls from being damaged by splashes from  faucets. As part of your bathroom remodeling, paint the upper walls, and  run a decorative border of tiles between lower wall tiles and the  upper, painted wall.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Floor tiles</strong>: Visible, light <a href="http://www.thunderhillnaturepark.org/category/flooring/" target="_blank">flooring</a> can create a feeling of  increased space. If your bathroom remodeling project is, at least in  part, because your bathroom seems small, install 12 by 12 inch  light-colored floor tiles diagonally. The lines and the light color will  give the illusion of much more space.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Heated Floor</strong>: Before you lay those floor tiles, consider  heated floor as part of your bathroom remodeling project. Your whole  family will appreciate them, and when it comes time to sell your home,  heated bathroom floors will be an enormous selling point.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Vanity</strong>: Use your bathroom remodeling as an opportunity to get  clean, free lines. Replace the vanity with a new &#8220;floating&#8221; type that  does not touch the floor. Choose one with a granite or marble  countertop. If you like the granite when you&#8217;re done, your bathroom  remodeling project can prepare you for replacing kitchen countertops  later. You may want a granite vanity top with one of the new vessel  sinks.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Faucets</strong>: Faucets at the sink and tub are a wonderful place to  begin a bathroom remodeling project. Once thought utilitarian, faucets  have become stylish fixtures. At little cost, you can replace yours with  vintage Victorian faucets, or sleek bamboo faucets resembling the  bamboo fountain in an Asian garden.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Toilets</strong>: Relocating a toilet can call for major bathroom  remodeling. Replacing it, however, is a simpler task, and can quickly  update an old bathroom. If you want to further update your bath,  consider adding a bidet. This bathroom remodeling project may require a  contractor.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Lighting</strong>: Much bathroom remodeling falls short of its goal  because overhead lighting is allowed to remain. While moisture resistant  can lights above tub or shower can be helpful, an overhead light should  be replaced by wall lights to increase the value of your bath.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Shower</strong>: If space allows, consider adding a separate shower to  your bath area. Keep the tub for a spa-like retreat, but install a  shower, too, with body sprays. If you like the natural, spa idea, look  for a shower that has stone surround tile. This bathroom remodeling idea  is bound to increase the value of your home.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Colors</strong>: The simplest bathroom remodeling project, and often an  effective one, is to change the colors in the bathroom. If the bathroom  remodel is being done to increase home value for sale, avoid unusual  color combinations. Apply the tried and true 60-30-10 rule to your  colors: 60 percent of your bathroom should be a dominant color, 30  percent a secondary color, and 10 percent an accent color.</p>
<p>Bathroom remodeling ideas are many because people have many different  tastes. Different locations also inspire different ideas. Bathroom  remodeling in Seattle is bound to be different from bathroom remodeling  in Pensacola. Many things will come to bear on your bathroom remodeling  ideas, but in the end, you should create something peaceful and  functional for you and your family.</p>
