As with any other room of your home, designing a stylish and eye- catching bathroom requires careful planning and attention to the tint details that go on to make a big difference. A vanity plays a big part in shaping this ambiance and choosing the right vanity is as much about color and finish as it is about size and style. While a bathroom vanity in white or wood seem like the ‘safe choice’, something much darker can make a bigger visual impact in your polished, contemporary bathroom . With spa-inspired bathrooms and those in neutral hues currently dominating the trends chart, a black vanity makes plenty of decorating sense.

I have spent the last I-don’t-know-how-long searching for the coolest photo display ideas for my own snapshots. Because there are so many pictures I love, but getting my photos off my phone and printed seems to be a major feat for me these days. Even when I do get them printed, they tend to get stashed in a storage box — and a lot of good that does me! So instead of just stocking up on a million frames at the craft store and taking over an entire wall, I’ve found some really cool photo display ideas for my home. I love how clever and unexpected these 21 ideas all are, and most of them are so easy, you can get them ordered and done after the kids go to bed. There are even some cool DIY ideas for those of you with access to a terrific printer and some basic supplies. And hey, with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day coming up, there’s plenty of inspiration here. Just don’t expect ideas like photo mugs, mousepads or custom photo smartphone cases — you already know all about those, right? CM...

I’ve mentioned a few times along the way that one day I’d like to update my master bathroom .  Well, that day (and year) has finally arrived!  It was 4 years ago about this time that I started looking at houses and now I’ve been in my house for over 3 years, with lots of updates and renovations along the way.  My master bathroom did not get a complete overhaul, but I merely painted the vanity, got a new toilet, added some pretty touches and called it a day.  It’s been a useful little bathroom, but its little 70’s self could certainly could use an update, so I’ve decided to tackle that this spring. This update will not be done by my dad and I (I just can’t put him through a project of this scope), but I’m hiring the father and son team who built my front porch and added my windows for me last spring.  They do a really great job, are reasonable enough for labor, and I trust them.  So, they are going to help me gut my small 3 x 5′ bathroom and give it new life.  Right now, the bathroom ...

The apartment's location is just perfect. The layout is charming. Even the price is reasonable. This place is almost too good to be true, you think. And then, you see the bathroom. Tiles the color of pink baby aspirin . Or fixtures in a shade of green that just screams " mint chocolate chip ." Or perhaps a white one that has turned dingy and yellow with age? Call it "vintage." Call it "retro." Or, just be honest and call it OLD. Old Bathrooms, New Advice Your first instinct may be to rip out the outdated bath, right down to the studs, but that isn't always practical. For one thing, many rental buildings won 't allow it; for another, do you really want to spend $30,000 re-doing a bathroom you intend to use for just two years? Even if you own the home, that bathroom renovation may have to wait a while. There's the leaky roof that has to be fixed IMMEDIATELY, and the kitchen that has to be redone before you can scramble an egg or brew a ...

For most of my life, I’ve been a bath and shower gel kind of person versus the bar soap kind mainly because I find shower gels do a better job at making the skin feel clean without leaving any film or making the skin feel dry. My favorite go-to shower gel has been the Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower Gel  in the Original Scent. It’s one of the classic staples that is gentle enough for my super sensitive skin . I like it because it lathers up really well and leaves the skin feeling super clean and it’s also unisex. For scented shower gels I’ve tested quite a few over the years. There is nothing like a beautifully scented shower gel to wake you up in the morning or to help you relax at the end of a day. I have a roundup of my favorites that I’ ve purchased numerous times along with a few new discoveries. Diptyque has a few of their fragrances available in shower gel form including the Tam Dao, Do Son, and L’Ombre Dans L’Eau to name a few. These are quite spendy but if you’...

A gallery filled with incredible bathrooms with L- shaped vanities . Tons of styles, from rustic to contemporary and ultra modern. shaped vanities " alt="Bathrooms with L- shaped vanities " width="800" height="550" src="src" /> Welcome to our gallery featuring a collection of gorgeous bathrooms, each featuring an L-shaped vanity. While it’s commonplace for bathrooms to have more than one vanity, some bathrooms just aren’t quite large enough to accommodate two sinks with separate vanities. For these types of bathrooms, or for those with only a free corner, an L-shaped vanity may be the best solution. Whether that extra space is used as a makeup vanity or as a second hand-washing station, an L-shaped vanity is sure to offer more utility than a single vanity. And while it’s a bit of an unusual fixture in most spacious bathroom s, it’s perfect for fitting into tough corners and utilizing space. It’s been said that in smaller bat...
