lucky enough to have the space in your bathroom you must invest. My neighbour
recently asked me to help her look for a freestanding bath as she is getting ready to renovate her family bathroom. I got a little

If you are converting your large family bathroom them a wet-room
is ideal, the tiled area will more than contain the water flow from your
shower, if how ever you are converting a smaller bathroom you may need to use a
shower screen to prevent water from escaping, the last thing you want it a wet
hall way or landing. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you like me are lucky enough to have a clever husband who
can tile your bathroom then count yourself lucky as a professional can be
costly. You will need to create a gradient so that the water flows effectively
towards the drainage area, if you do not create an effect gradient you may have
problems with excess water laying on the tiles. <span style="background: white;">The
most popular method is to install a sub-floor made from Plywood which can then
easily be tiled over. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What better way to start the May bank holiday than with some beautiful Spring and Summer bathroom styles. Both bright
colours and bold patterns are in style once more for Spring and Summer 2013. Adding
a little of either to your bathroom can put a smile on your face in the morning
as well as bringing your home bang up to date.</span> Bathroom suites<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> are a basic necessity in
any home, but by making yours stand out from the crowd you’re sure to impress
your guests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">As with any bold
design statement, a little goes a long way. If you’re experimenting with bright
colours, think splashes of colour - don’t drown your bathroom in bright pink!
And if you’ve splashed the colour in one area, try adding texture rather than
colour elsewhere: a neutral rug on the floor, some textured wallpaper, a glass
vase with pebbles and a cream candle... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Many people
don’t like to use wallpaper in a bathroom, but there are loads of wallpapers
out there produced specifically for the bathroom that happily withstand steam
and direct splashes from the shower or basin. Even regular wallpaper should
handle a bathroom location well if you keep it away from the really wet areas
and keep the room well ventilated so that moisture doesn’t build up. And
wallpaper is a great way to add pattern without committing to keeping it long
term. So go wild with that flamingo pattern!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Monochrome
designs work well in the bathroom and can be simultaneously eye-catching yet
restrained. Simple patterns look great on modern sanitaryware: swirls,
silhouettes, cityscapes... you name it, someone’s designed it. And of course, a
traditional bathroom suite in plain white can be paired with black and white
tiles and period style accessories for a classical look that never dates. Using
monochrome designs like this means you’re free to add splashes of colour as
well if you wish, or keep it black and white.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Use a mirror or
mirrors to amplify your style statement. Positioned correctly, a mirror can
make your bathroom appear both larger and lighter, and can reflect the part of
your room design that you’re most proud of, so that guests see it twice!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pick a style that’s true to your personal taste: slavishly following fashion
anywhere in the home simply means you’re sure to be redecorating again more
quickly than you would if you picked a style you love at the outset. Let me know which style you like and if you have any bathroom projects coming up in the next few months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In
a household with young children, it can feel like any semblance of style has to
be sacrificed to make way for toys, clothes and child-safety measures. Well, in the
bathroom that doesn’t have to be the case. Here are a few ideas to help you
create a chic and stylish family bathroom that is safe, practical and still
looks fantastic.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;">We all tend
to accumulate far more toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning supplies than we
really need, and in family bathrooms, products tend to get stockpiled to avoid
running out. Without sufficient storage space, all of those mismatched and
multi-coloured products and packages are enough to make even the largest
bathroom seem cramped and cluttered, so it’s important to be able to neatly
store your bathroom supplies out of sight, but within easy reach.</span></div>

cabinets and cupboards available in just about every conceivable size, shape
and finish. A fitted vanity unit will allow you to keep your basin area clean
and organised, and for families with young children, wall-mounted cabinets can
be a great way to safely store any medicines and supplements safely out of
reach. The arrangement of doors and drawers is entirely down to you, but in a
busy family bathroom, giving each member of the household their own drawer or
designated storage area can make daily bathroom use run much more smoothly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Soft-close
doors and drawers are also becoming increasingly popular, as they eliminate the
risk of trapped fingers, as well as any annoying (if accidental) slams! Many
modern units will also come pre-treated with a moisture coating to ensure that
they can survive daily bathroom life for a long time to come,
because we all no how frequently splashes and drips can happen in a family
bathroom!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Although
heated towel rails look great and provide you with warm fluffy towels whenever
you need them, underfloor heating can be a safer choice if you have young
children, removing the possibility of accidental burns. Underfloor heating has
improved in quality as much as it has decreased in price in recent years, so
this is a really attainable heating method. Another heating safeguard is a
thermostatic controller, which will mean that your bathroom water can never be
heated over a set temperature (of your choosing), to give you a little extra
peace of mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that all of these new and improved safety measures have been designed to look
great as well, so take the time to have a click around and find the ways to
safeguard your bathroom that appeal most to you, and then simply find the
styling and finish that will help you to create your ideal bathroom! Don't forget to add some of your children's art work in stylish frames as we do not want our bathrooms to look like a </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">completely</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> kid free zone, and there you have it, your s</span><span style="font-size: 15px;">tylish and practical family bathroom!</span></span></div>

she loved one of the ideas. She asked me if I could recommend to her how to
recreate the look at an affordable price so I thoughts I would share my

1. Mirrored Cabinet<br />
<br />
Pick up this fab cabinet from better bathrooms at just £65.95 you cannot go wrong. If you would prefer an illuminated mirrored cabinet then you could choose that as an alternative.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">When I spoke
with Julie she mentioned that she prefers chrome taps and to be honest for this
style of bathroom I would suggest going for a chrome finish tap as they
compliment the tiles and vanity unit much better. This cascade bath filler is
£123.95 and it’s square features perfectly compliment the style of the basin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

3. Basin & Vanity Unit<br />
<br />
You have two options with the basin. You can either go for a basin that is built into the vanity unit or one which sits on top of the unit. Personally I prefer the basin that sites on the vanity unit but I have given you a few options below. They come in a variety of sizes and wood colours, if you would prefer a white unit they are also available.<br />

A wall-hung toilet is a great way to save space and they also look pretty neat and tidy to. You can pick these up at a very low cost and they look very high quality. Below is the Venus Wall Hung Toilet £119.95.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Tiles can
completely change the feel of any bathroom and it is important to pick the
right ones for the size of room you are decorating. Choosing a tile too large
for a bathroom can make it feel small and cluttered. Here are a few that I feel
would work best in this sized bathroom. Below is the </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">White Travertine Tumbled

So, its finally here, when I woke up this morning I could defiantly
feel spring in the air, the fact that we gained an hour defiantly helped this
spring feeling although I could see the faint sight of snow falling from the
sky when I took the dog out for her morning walk (we will ignore that!). So
what better way to start off Spring & April than with a little piece on spring
design. One of my favourite spring themes for bathroom design is rustic. Creating a rustic bathroom is a sure fire way of making your
bathroom space feel fresh and bright! Rustic bathrooms tend to use lots of wood and stone features, here are just a few of my favorites from rustic design... enjoy!!</div>

You will see that many of the objects have been gathered from car boot sales and thrifty stores, this is a cheap way to create a designer looking bathroom. So give it and go and let me know how it went :) Thanks for reading, Helen Xx</div>

If you are looking for a quick and simple Easter craft to do
with the kids this weekend then I have the perfect thing for you ‘Metallic
Easter Eggs’. You can pick up the little kits in most crafty shops; I actually
picked mine up from a very budget super market for a couple of pounds.</div>

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Firstly you will need to boil your eggs for 10
minutes until they are hard boiled</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">While your eggs are boiling fill a cup with
boiling water and put your 3 dyes in the hot water so they can become soft</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Remove eggs one by one from boiling water, pat
dry.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Cut the end off one dye and put 15 drops in your
hand, then roll the egg in the dye until it is completely covered</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Make sure the egg is still sticky and then cover
it in the silver paper, use a spoon to press the paper down so it sticks on the
egg.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I get asked a lot of the time by my friends how they can
make the most of their small bathroom space, just because you have to compromise
on size does not mean you have to compromise on style. One of the most
efficient ways to use the space to it's full potential is by using a bathroom suite
that fits your bathroom. Traditionally basins and toilets were large and took up half
the bathrooms space but now with the clever invention of wall hung toilets and
vanity basins (that double up as storage space) we can still get everything we
would like in our bathroom and also still have room to manoeuvre. Another great
idea is to remove your bathtub and replace it with a walk in shower, this
increases floor space and with many of us having more than one bathtub in the
house it is much more efficient to use the space for a shower. Remember to use
fresh bright colours as dark colours with make your bathroom feel much smaller,
I hope you have found these tips useful and enjoy the images below for small
bathroom ideas.<o:p></o:p></div>

Something I often suggest to friends looking to update their magnolia bathroom space is to create a feature wall, this way you can still keep your white suite but you will create a completely new look for your room. Use paints, tiles and large bathroom mirrors to create the look, here are some of my favorite designs and styles for this spring, let me know which one is your favorite!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The last week has been a very busy one, from training the
puppy to walk on her lead without merely looking at me somewhat confused at the
concept, to valentines day and a lovely evening out with the whole family to
celebrate the occasion. Yes, it has been very hectic to say the least and we
are off to France on Friday to go skiing. With sorting everything out for the
holiday (washing one million pairs of ski socks, hats and gloves) I have not
had much time to write a post this week (excuses!). So instead I give to you
some great images I have seen this week (a bit of a cheat I know). I promise I
will write a proper post when I return next week but for now I hope you enjoy
these fantastic and elegant bathroom designs. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For many of us we see Valentines Day as a commercial ploy to
take our money and we resent the fact that for this one day we are forced to
tell our love ones that we ‘Love them’. Well if you’re anything like me you
tell you’re nearest and dearest that you love them everyday and really don’t require
a certain day reminding you to do it. Having said that, I just love any excuse
to make cakes and buy my favourite people presents, I was very spoilt this morning
with some beautiful flowers from my wonderful hubby so I for one am not moaning
about today one bit. Here are a few of my favourite valentines gifts for this
year, enjoy your day everyone <3<o:p></o:p></div>

One of my favourite places in the world is the Norfolk and
Suffolk coast, lovely unspoilt beaches and traditional shops and restaurants.
We were very lucky on Saturday that it didn’t rain and we could actually enjoy
some British winter sunshine, here are a

<b>This Week’s Project: Big Improvements for a Small Bathroom</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A friend of mine approached me recently for some advice on a
bathroom renovation. She wanted to give her master bathroom a makeover, as her
house still had the same bathroom suite (avocado – can you believe it!) that
was there when they moved in. I already new the size and shape of the bathroom,
and knew that a key factor in any remodelling would have to be efficient use of
space; she won’t mind me telling you that this is not a very large bathroom…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, we started discussing the best methods for making a
smaller bathroom feel more spacious and comfortable. There are the classic tips
and tricks that have been around for decades, such as ensuring the room is well
lit, naturally, or given a little artificial help, and how important a decent
sized mirror is. If you’re planning a contemporary style for your bathroom, I
would always recommend an illuminated mirror, both for its space-enhancing
qualities and the fact that they instantly add a chic, designer feel to your
bathroom.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Choosing a bathroom suite for a smaller room can present a
few challenges, as you want a suite which not only looks great and performs to
high standards, but won’t dominate the room too much. It was at this point that
I suggested my new favourite style of contemporary sanitaryware: a back to wall
bathroom suite. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In smaller spaces, keeping as much floor space visible as
possible will really help to increase the perceived size of the room, and that
concept can be stylishly realised with a back to wall suite. Focused around the
toilet, there are two options for how you want your back to wall suite to be
installed. By far the most popular option is for the cistern to be concealed
within a boxed unit, placing the emphasis far more upon form than function. A
concealed cistern unit will to create a far more streamlined bathroom, which
again will help to make the room feel more spacious and user-friendly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The next part of this suite, contributing to the ideas of
clear floor space and streamlined fixtures, is wall-mounted vanity unit, with
the style of the basin matching that of the toilet, (think gentle, understated
curves for the most refined, modern finish, and the finish of the vanity unit
matching that of the cistern cover. For the vanity and cistern units, there a
wide number of finishes from which to choose, but a glossy white lacquer is a
great choice to help keep the bathroom feeling bright and fresh. The vanity
unit will also provide some storage space to help keep your basin area clear
and uncluttered, an important point in smaller rooms, whilst keeping your daily
essentials neatly organised and within easy reach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With those two features agreed upon, we selected a compact,
straight-sided bath with a shower unit attached, so that all bathing options
were covered, without too much space sacrificed. To make sure that there was
sufficient storage space available so that all the surface areas could be kept
clear, we also opted for a couple of wall-mounted cabinets, in a matching
finish to the vanity and cistern units.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
An illuminated mirror, a back to wall suite, a bath/shower
combination and fresh coat of paint and we had completely revamped and updated
a small bathroom into a bright, modern, stylish room which feels light, airy
and comfortable. And I didn’t even ask for a consulting fee! Plan carefully and
know what you want to achieve, and you could have a beautiful new bathroom just like Jane in
no time at all, and after all that hard work we were ready to relax....</div>

They could be designs which have steadily been gaining in popularity in the last year, more traditional themes which seem ready to make a comeback, or brand new products and looks which can seem to simply appear out of thin air (I must admit, these weird and wonderful left-field products are often some of my favourites).So, in the world of bathroom design, what can we expect to be the success stories of 2013? Here are what I predict will be a few of the top contenders:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a few classic tricks that we all know for making any room seem larger than it is; traditionally that means opting for as much light and as many mirrored surfaces as possible, in order to enhance the feeling of available space. Keeping more of your floor space free is another simple and highly effective trick that is only recently starting to become more widespread. Wall-mounted fixtures and fittings are really coming into their own in this regard, with basins, toilets, and bidets all now readily available. Although a wall-mounted toilet might seem a slightly disconcerting at first, they are more than capable of supporting an adults’ weight, and by virtue of keeping your floor space clear, and by having a concealed cistern, they can go a long way to creating a far more streamlined, spacious and stylish bathroom. Expect to see a lot more wall-mounted fixtures this year.<o:p></o:p></div>

<u>More Efficient Sanitaryware</u><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think we can all accept that utility bills aren’t going to be coming down any time in the near future, and as around 60% of our domestic water consumption takes place in the bathroom, expect to see a far greater number of bathroom suites this year where the emphasis is placed just as much on efficiency as style. Ceramic disc technology will become the industry standard in 2013, allowing for taps which not only give much more control over water temperature and flow rate, but prevent drips for far longer than traditional models as well. Standard lever-handle toilet flushes will eventually disappear, to be replaced by far more wallet-friendly dual flushes. Improved materials also mean that baths are now better at retaining heat than ever before, which means that even for an extra-long, relaxing soak, you shouldn’t need to top up your hot water levels.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whilst avocado and peach coloured bathroom suites have long since disappeared from our bathrooms, colour is returning in different ways. Natural stone basins can provide any bathroom with warmth, style and character, whilst also being particularly hardy and resistant to scratches and stains. Elsewhere, slightly more outré products, such as baths and full-pedestal basins with black exteriors are proving to be immensely popular for people who want to make their bathroom stand out with a bold style statement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just remember to keep your eyes peeled: I think 2013 is going to bring us loads of exciting, stylish new bathroom design ideas. I can’t wait!<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
So Christmas 2012 is done and its time to reflect on the
past year and look forward to all the excitement that 2013 has to offer. It’s
around this time that we all start thinking about the New Year so I thought I’d
make a few resolutions, that I promise I’ll be trying my best to stick to! I
thought by putting my resolutions on here, where you can all read them, I’d
force myself to make as much effort as possible with them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So then, with only a few days left of 2012, here are my New
Years resolutions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">1. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Blog more – I haven’t posted as frequently as
I’d have liked this year, if fact my blog has been a little neglected. So in
2013 I’m going to be posting once a week at the very least.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">2. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Make more – I’m sure we are all guilty of this, so
when I see things and say, “I could make that”, I should actually make it. I’m
not going to just look at wonderful creations on Pinterest and do nothing about
them. I have made a board on Pinterest dedicated to this so I have no excuse!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">3. Get fit – This is a biggie for next year and I
am sure this is one which appears on most resolution lists. I’m going to start
training, get into better shape, with the goal of completing a half marathon at
some point next year!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">4. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Raise money for charity – I will get sponsored
for the half marathon. Job done.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">5. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Make more of an effort to see friends who live
far away – This is Britain; you can get literally anywhere in just a few hours,
so there is no excuse for this one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">6. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Get my articles published on more blogs and
design industry sites – I’d quite like a mini publishing empire!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">7. Interact more with fellow designers – We’re a
great little online community, and I think in 2013 we could really forge some
strong ties, in order to spread and share ideas, so that we can all make the
most of social media.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">8. Find a work/life balance with which I’m truly
happy – I love my work and I love spending time with my family, and although it
can be a bit of a plate spinning act at times, I’m going to work hard to get
the most out of both.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">9. Get more sleep! – I think we can all relate to
this one.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">10. Stick to my resolutions! – Ok, so this one might
seem like a bit of a cheat, but I’m trying to make absolutely sure that this
list is complete by this time next year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok, there we have it: My New Years resolutions for 2013. Now
to enjoy the rest of the festive period and eat as much as I can before the detox
begins. I’ll keep you posted on how I’m getting on, and make sure you get in
touch with your resolutions as well.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A big thank you to Zoe Brewer from my interior stylist as I am very happy to announce that this week I
won the much sought after, limited edition ‘Confessions of a design geek’ book by
Katie Treggiden. The book is beautifully laid out with inspirational and informative
interviews from well known designers such as Alexandre Bettler and Wim Crouwel.
I went to Wim Crouwel’s design exhibition in London last year so it was great
to learn more about his design work. I don’t want to spoil it for you so will
leave it there but suggest you all go and grab a copy of this for yourselves –
go on, treat yourself it is Christmas after all!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a child the Christmas
tree was always put up by my parents on the first weekend in December. I would
always be allowed to help pick the tree with my brother and chose a new decoration
from the garden centre each year. This meant each year we always had a lovely
time putting up the tree talking about which year we had picked previous
decorations and reliving the excitement of when we had slected our new decoration. This was something I was keen to do with my children
so now every year we do the same, go to the garden centre, pick the tree and
select one (or two!) new decoration each. I am not
one of these people who likes the tree to be colour coordinated, I like the
tree to have personality and be an almost diary of past Christmases with a
selection of different colours, shapes and edible treats to see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">So last night (much later
than previous years) we went to the local garden centre and picked out our
tree, making sure it was the correct height, correct shape and most importantly
could be squeezed into the car – it was certainly a squeeze but well worth the cramped
car journey home although I’m not sure the dog would agree!!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
With most of us about to expect hordes of visitors over the
next month it is vital that the bathroom not only impresses but is somewhere
for us to be proud of. We all demand peak performance, coupled with a relaxing
and inviting environment. We ask a lot of our bathrooms, but in order to really
enjoy them, it’s vital that they not only perform to the highest standards, but
are pleasant and comfortable place to be as well. It’s about creating a balance
of form and function, and here’s how to go about it.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Firstly, a deep clean and fresh coat of paint will give you
a solid foundation upon which to build, as will replacing any tile grouting or
waterproof sealant, this is inexpensive and will transform your bathroom almost
instantly. Next, in order to maintain a calm and organised bathroom, without
toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products being left out to distract
attention and detract from your décor, some <a href="http://www.betterbathrooms.com/bathroom-furniture/">bathroom furniture</a>
is a must. Just two or three units in a matching finish will provide
you with ample storage capacity and ensure that you can keep your surfaces
clear and tidy. A fitted vanity unit, a wall-mounted cabinet and a freestanding
Tallboy will lend your bathroom a thought-out, designed feel and make your
bathroom feel like an extension of your living space, rather than a simply
functional addition to your home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bathroom furniture designers are releasing new styles and
finishes every week, but a furniture set in a matching natural wood finish will
create the most dramatic and high value impression. An illuminated bathroom
mirror will help to enhance the sensation of light and space in your bathroom,
as well as creating a focal modern design feature for your bathroom, and it
will also help to offset the fact that your new bathroom furniture will be
taking up some space. This way you can achieve a balance of practicality and
design.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">A heated chrome towel rail in place of a radiator is another
wonderful upgrade that will lend a real contemporary flair to your bathroom
design, as ensure that your bathroom is cosy and comfortable and that you have
access to warm, dry towels whenever you need them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By adopting these ideas into your own bathroom, you will
create a room that functions to high standards, is eminently practical, and yet
makes use of all of the best aspects of contemporary design. With only a few
weeks and till the big day it would be wise to pick a couple of options from
this list and leave the rest until the new year, I hope you have found these
tips useful and please feel free to send me some photos of your bathroom
improvements, I always love to receive them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I was talking to a friend the other day who
wants to revitalise her master bathroom and was asking for a few tips to lessen
the stress of a full scale renovation. Changing the entire layout of a bathroom
can seem like a mammoth undertaking, so we came up with a few ways for her to
give her busy family bathroom a new lease of life without having to take out a
second mortgage or invite a full building crew into her home.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://livingthebalancedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/messy-bathroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://livingthebalancedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/messy-bathroom.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With the resurgent popularity of bathroom
furniture, after a decade of sparse minimalism being the prevailing bathroom
fashion, there are now more options than ever to upgrade your bathroom without
stripping everything out and starting again. If your bathroom suite is still in
working order, just give it a good scrub and leave it where it is. Then perhaps
a fresh coat of white or pastel paint and replacing any grouting and waterproof
sealant (for just a few pounds) and you’re ready to start exploring some
furniture options.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Fitted furniture<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> can be a great place to
begin your bathroom revamp, as it is deliberately designed to be unobtrusive,
fitting snugly as it does around round existing furniture positions. A fitted
basin vanity unit will allow you to clear basin area of the assorted cosmetics
and toiletries that tend to accumulate over time. All of these daily essentials
will be neatly stored away, contributing to a much more peaceful appearance in
your bathroom, whilst still remaining readily accessible.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/9/4/9496-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/9/4/9496-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Freestanding units can be another solution
that is both highly effective and quick to install. A tall, narrow ‘tallboy’
shelving unit is designed to provide the maximum possible internal storage
capacity for the minimum occupation of floor space. In busy family bathrooms
these units can be great for storing surplus supplies, or you could try giving
each family member their own shelf, so that everyone knows where their own
personal toiletries are stored.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Upgrading your bathroom mirror to a
mirrored, wall-mounted cabinet can also provide extra storage. They can also be
a great place to store any medicines or supplements safely out of reach in
family bathrooms. This, again, is a furniture option that won’t intrude into
the room or occupy too much extra space.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A bathroom revamp can be achieved without
enormous outlay and by simply choosing to install just a few carefully selected
furniture items. Have a click around and find out what might work best for you.
A bathroom upgrade of this kind will add modern style, oodles of extra storage
and keep that busy family bathroom calm, uncluttered and stress free.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126380533038472458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069030520924695990.post-55595456600929246562012-09-24T17:31:00.004+01:002013-02-21T17:42:12.121+00:00Examining Modern Bathroom Safety Features<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether you’re a family with young children, someone will
limited mobility or simply someone looking for peace of mind, we all want to
know that our homes are safe and secure environments in which we needn’t worry
about accidental injuries or unanticipated dangers. To examine the domestic
bathroom, let’s have a look at some of the modern safety features that make it
a safer place than it has ever been before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Modern shower can now be purchased with thermostatic temperature
controls, which mean that you can manipulate the temperature and flow rate of
your shower with accuracy and assurance. Ceramic disc technology in modern taps
and mixers also means that they are easier to operate, more efficient and
longer lasting than ever before. Anti-scald mechanisms can also now be
installed that ensure that your water cannot go over a certain temperature:
Ideal for households with young children.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/6/9/6903.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/6/9/6903.jpg" width="320" /></a>Toilet seats, of course, have been able to have child-proof
catches on them for several years now, but new soft-close toilets mean that no
small child need risk trapping their fingers again. A similar idea is
soft-close doors and drawers incorporated into bathroom furniture: The final
inch or so of the closing area will slowly roll itself shut, eliminating the
possibility of an accidental slam.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Replacing your bathroom mirror with a mirrored cabinet not
only makes good sense for storage and organisational purposes, but provides
somewhere to store any medicines and supplements out of the reach of curious
young fingers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Fitted bathroom furniture another great storage option, has
a couple of key safety benefits other than soft-close doors. As fitted units,
there is no possibility of the furniture falling over or collapsing, and nature
of the design will mean that plumbing and pipework is covered up, preventing
any accidental contact with hot pipes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/8/5849-aviva-75cm-vanity-unit-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.taps.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/600x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/8/5849-aviva-75cm-vanity-unit-1.jpg" width="320" /></a>Of course in shower-baths and wet rooms it is essential to
have some sort of non-slip flooring in place. Adhesive strips attached to the
floor, or a secure mat should be sufficient, but you also have the option of
installing grab bars and a shower seat if the shower will be used by anyone who
may have trouble standing unassisted for extended periods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With all of these technological developments in bathroom
safety, there does not need to be cause for concern any longer. And the best
part is that these changes have all been made with the overall aesthetic of the
bathroom in mind, so you can now have a safe, secure, easy to use bathroom,
that hasn’t had to sacrifice style over function in any way.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In my day to day work, it’s really important that I stay on
top of all the latest trends and developments in bathroom design. Fortunately I
love nothing more than exploring all the weird and wonderful, chic and cutting
edge style ideas from around the world.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp1y6f4sjsrArJmqnZBU6qfycOzGnXOXQJtL4r4RfQTouvJKphLw1nEA9POg3A-yeJOnTICB5dFb9vFGDcPql3xQXUlQ9TxCXK01oUlQcKS9ERr9hG504A7YG6uSRxmCm1Dzsy0kZdNEcV/s1600/Walnut+unit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp1y6f4sjsrArJmqnZBU6qfycOzGnXOXQJtL4r4RfQTouvJKphLw1nEA9POg3A-yeJOnTICB5dFb9vFGDcPql3xQXUlQ9TxCXK01oUlQcKS9ERr9hG504A7YG6uSRxmCm1Dzsy0kZdNEcV/s320/Walnut+unit.jpg" width="320" /></a>One idea that started gaining traction a couple of years ago
and then went from strength to strength is installing bathroom furniture as a
solution to the storage problems created be the minimalist décor that has been
so popular in recent years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While bathrooms with minimal furnishings and a stripped back
design can look really stylish and modern, we do all tend to accumulate
cosmetics and toiletries over time that require somewhere to go. The resurgent
popularity of bathroom cabinetry has provided a timely and image-conscious
solution to this problem.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fitted furniture around your bathroom is the least intrusive
way to create storage space without losing too much floor area. A fitted vanity
unit beneath your basin, a vanity connecting both basin and toilet, or wall-hung
cabinets will provide ample space to stow away all of your daily essentials,
whilst only occupying space that would ordinarily go unused.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
New bathroom furniture manufacturing techniques have meant
that the variety of available styles and finishes is increasing hugely year on
year. Should you wish to keep your current wall colours or overall décor, then
you will be able to find furniture to perfectly complement it. Alternatively,
if the budget and desire, then creating a new bathroom design, based around a
few key pieces of quality furniture is a great way to refresh the look and feel
of your bathroom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnA3WFAS0EEyp_t1tVablEKPD2IRxObEdV6KBfhvzB04bhBUWfGzfHK5GNzD_uFHqEgv7vuvVdIYNTd5iDKD-RtzygTpBfio5zMowbHIl2mnCvKkRlKSLWhItz3IWAK3dcSjcgnAjyeFw/s1600/purple+cabinets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnA3WFAS0EEyp_t1tVablEKPD2IRxObEdV6KBfhvzB04bhBUWfGzfHK5GNzD_uFHqEgv7vuvVdIYNTd5iDKD-RtzygTpBfio5zMowbHIl2mnCvKkRlKSLWhItz3IWAK3dcSjcgnAjyeFw/s1600/purple+cabinets.jpg" /></a>Where finish is concerned, one the most popular and
stylistically powerful options is natural wood tones. As many bathrooms in the
UK are not blessed with generous dimensions, many people opt for light or walls
to increase the sensation of light and space in their bathrooms. To help to
reinforce this effect with furniture, lighter natural tones, such as oak and
pine, can keep your bathroom feeling light and airy, whilst adding some much
needed texture and warmth to what can appear to be a slightly sterile
environment at times.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To head in the opposite direction though, can be just as
rewarding. Dark woods, such as walnut or wenge, will bring an air of rich
solidity to your bathroom. Bold, darker hues will lend a luxurious air and a
feeling of permanence to your bathroom design. Of course, laminate and coloured
finishes are available as well, and you always have the option to personalise
your bathroom furniture once it is installed, with stencilling or sanding to
create a distressed antique finish.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The options and variations are endless, so the key is to
research and plan thoroughly and to learn what it is that you truly want to achieve
from your bathroom. You can make it happen, so start clicking through your
options!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hi everybody. I’ve had a
couple of people on Twitter asking for advice on the best way to revamp a
bathroom in order to increase their chances of selling a house. Well, the good
news is that it is a relatively pain free process to give your bathroom a new
lease of life and make it far more attractive to potential buyers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

56% of people viewing a property would immediately write it off if the bathroom
was dirty, so let’s get that one crossed off straight away. Grouting can be
spruced up with a toothbrush and a little hydrogen peroxide (make sure you have
your Marigolds on!) and the waterproof sealant around your basin or bath can be
replaced for just a few pounds and only requires 24 hours to dry. A new coat of
paint is another simple and quick way to make a real difference. Keep it
simple; white paint or a pastel shade will keep the room feeling light, fresh
and airy, and help increase the feeling of space in the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In keeping with the
space-increasing properties of fresh paint, make sure you have a decent sized
mirror to amplify the effect. Many bathroom furniture manufacturers are now
creating stylish illuminated mirrors at affordable prices. Not only will this
make the room seem larger, but it’s a simple way to really modernise your
bathroom and give it a designer feel. Remember, you are selling a lifestyle,

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So now you have a bright,
airy and well-lit space, don’t allow yourself to clutter it up with multi-coloured
and distracting toiletries and bathroom products. We all need our cosmetics and
daily essentials, but having everything out on display will make the room feel
busy and uncared for. Fortunately, the solution to that problem is as practical
as it is stylish. Bathroom furniture is making a real comeback at the moment,
and just a couple of well-placed cabinets can make a huge difference in
achieving a serene and streamlined end result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A vanity unit installed
beneath your basin will allow you keep everything you need neatly tidied away
but remain within easy reach, and with fewer items around the basin, house
viewers will be able to project their own use of the bathroom more easily. One
option I highly recommend is to install a vanity unit with a counter top basin.
This small change will immediately lend your bathroom a luxurious, designer
quality without major plumbing work being required. Bear I mind, too, that
fitted cabinets can contain and hide pipes and plumbing work, resulting in a
neater overall appearance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

inconv</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">enient process to replace an entire bathroom suite, so as long as your
existing suite isn’t a radioactive shade of avocado, then a thorough scrub will
usually suffice. A clever way to update your bathroom suite, however, is to
install new taps and wastes. Using the same tap holes you already have, this is
a subtle change that can alter he atmosphere of a room and instantly provide a
more sophisticated and opulent air.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So there we have it: New
taps, a high quality mirror, those de-cluttering cabinets, a lick of paint and
a thorough clean. Piece of cake. A bathroom that any potential buyer would
want, without an enormous outlay. Let me know how it goes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
