Bathroom sink

An artist edition vessel-type bathroom sink can steal the show.




Q: Ed: I live in the country and want to bring some outdoor themes into my bathroom remodeling project. I plan to install a large skylight and have lots of custom cut teakwood trim accents. Do you have any natural-looking fixture ideas for me?

A: From what I’ve seen, open floor plans and natural-themed artist edition plumbing fixtures can add a nice outdoor feel to any bathroom. Here are a few fixture install ideas.

For the shower, design a custom walk-in shower stall with a full glass enclosure and a natural stone base.

A space-saving toilet area featuring a wall-hung bowl with a concealed in-wall tank can also keep the open room theme flowing.

Finally, for the fixture finale, an artist edition vessel-type bathroom sink can steal the show. I suggest one of the new floral print wading pool sinks. These dramatic vessel sinks feature brightly painted flowers set against a jet black background.

Bottom line: Just like the great outdoors, if you start with an open air environment, then add some fresh flowers, you can make your new country bathroom bloom with beauty.

One commenter wrote, “…are the earnings holding your dress?” Added follower said, “The top of the dress hooked to your earrings? Crazy cool.” “I wear that same thing when I give my kids a bath!” read another comment.

In addition to posting about her babysitting adventures on social media, last month Keough gave a glimpse into her personal life by posting a photo of her father, Danny Keough on Instagram. The post showed a rare glimpse into the actress’ personal life as she frolicked in the ocean with her dad and other members of her family.

The 32-year-old’s parents got married in 1988 but split only six years later in 1994 after having Keough and her brother, Benjamin who sadly committed suicide last year.

Keough’ opened up about her brother’s death in an In Style magazine interview. “I‘m really consciously trying to be present, and not use anything as any kind of escape, and be cognizant of when I’m doing that,“ she said. ”[I‘m] trying to operate in love, and keep my heart open, and give and receive love. And not in a woo-woo way, because I definitely have hard days, and all kinds of pain and suffering and all that. But I think when you realize that’s part of it, and your expectation isn‘t to just be feeling joy,” she said.

How to Caulk a Shower | Recaulking a Bathtub

[email protected]_84 , , ,

Caulk is a homeowner’s best friend, sealing all the little cracks and crevices in the home and keeping water, air and critters from entering. But caulk doesn’t last forever. Here’s how to caulk a shower to avoid water damage.

Tip: Use a silicone caulk that’s rated for at least 15-year durability; it pays to spend the extra dollar or two so you don’t have to do this all over next year. If your shower is all white, purchase a white silicone caulk. If it’s anything other than white, you may want to use a clear silicone.

Step 1. Remove Old Caulk

Start by scraping the old caulk away with a plastic putty knife (Image 1). Avoid using a metal scraper if possible, as it could damage your porcelain. Once you’ve scraped off as much of the old caulk as possible, pour a bit of mineral spirits onto a rag to scrub away the last of the residue (Images 2 and 3).

Step 2. Clean the Area Thoroughly

If you notice any grime or soap scum where you’ll be recaulking, wipe the area down with a wet sponge, then sprinkle baking soda over the wet surface (Image 1). Finally, use the sponge to scrub away the baking soda and the soap scum along with it (Image 2). Let the area fully dry.

Step 3. Recaulk the Seams

With the old caulk removed and the area cleaned, you’re ready to reseal all the cracks and seams in your shower. Use a utility knife to cut the tip of your caulk tube at a 45-degree angle (Image 1). You’ll need to puncture the inside of the tube through the tip to get the caulk flowing. Run a bead of caulk along the seams slowly (Image 2). Don’t use too much on your first pass. The simplest and most effective way to apply caulk is to lay a continuous thin line and then smooth it into place using a wet finger (Image 3).

This will create a seamless transition between the two surfaces and won’t be as noticeable to the eye. If you need to stop or take a break, remember to press the pressure release lever on the back of your caulk gun so the caulk doesn’t continue to flow. After caulking and smoothing, you may find an area that needs another layer. Apply another thin bead of caulk and smooth using a wet finger. Tip: Keep a wet cloth nearby to wipe your fingers on. You can use it to wipe away any mistakes as well.

Step 4. Clean Up Edges

Caulking is a bit of an art and takes some getting used to. You may have applied too much in one area or left a smudge on a wall. If so, that’s okay. Take a wet cloth and wipe away the smudges. If one of your seams is too wide and there’s unwanted caulk left on the surface, run the wet cloth along the edge to wipe the excess away.

5 Big Takeaways From the 2021 U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study

[email protected]_84 , , , , ,

3. White Leads All Finishes

When it comes to materials and finishes, white leads in all categories. It’s the top color choice for vanities (32%), countertops (58%), shower walls (46%) and nonshower walls (34%).

An all-white scheme works well in a bathroom, where a sense of cleanliness is often desired. White also enhances light, giving a space an airy look, which is especially important in small spaces. Plus, a crisp palette helps create the soothing, spa-like feel that many homeowners desire.

Wood vanities (27%) and gray nonshower walls (27%) are popular elements for introducing another tone. And keep an eye on blue vanities, which are rising in popularity. The share of homeowners who included a blue vanity in their bathroom remodel rose 3 percentage points, from 5% in 2020 to 8% in 2021.

Sinema Pursued Into Bathroom By Activists, Biden Unimpressed

[email protected]_84 , , , , ,

This past weekend, Arizona voters, activists who helped Krysten Sinema get elected to the Senate, were so frustrated by her lack of accountability that they followed her into a restroom to demand answers.

Joe Biden, at his press conference this morning, was not impressed, calling her experience “part of the process” when you don’t have secret service protection.

There is an answer for Krysten Sinema. Meet with your own voters.

Kyrsten Sinema’s bathroom protest was a long time coming

[email protected]_84 , , , , , ,

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., is unhappy that a group of progressive activists followed her into a bathroom over the weekend. In a statement Monday, she said what the activists did was “wholly inappropriate.”

“Yesterday’s behavior was not legitimate protest,” Sinema wrote. Leaving aside that Sinema doesn’t get to set the terms of how her constituents hold her accountable, you know who would have likely applauded those activists’ tactics? A young Kyrsten Sinema, the one who didn’t mind calling out Democrats who are more interested in obtaining power than in using it to advance their values.

During the last few weeks, a tidal wave of ink has been spilled as we all try to figure out, in brief, what Sinema’s deal is. Why is the first-term senator acting as a roadblock to passing President Joe Biden’s agenda? What’s driving her? Political donors’ priorities? A misreading of the Arizona electorate? Is she lining up a lobbying gig after her term ends? Does she have a raging case of McCain Maverick Syndrome?

But the here’s the biggest question of them all: What sparked Sinema’s transformation from a Green Party activist into a centrist who may derail one of the largest, most progressive bills we’re likely to see during Biden’s presidency?

As you might expect, the attempts to find the answer have ranged in quality and prescriptive usefulness. The best of them so far comes from Mother Jones reporter Tim Murphy, whose recent profile of Sinema charts her rise through the ranks of Arizona politics and explains how few of her former allies recognize her now.

In her youth, Sinema was part of the antiwar movement ahead of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. And at the time, she had no tolerance for Democrats who would support the coming war:

When hawkish and conservative-leaning Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman passed through Tucson during his presidential campaign in 2003, Sinema led a caravan of activists to protest outside his event. “He’s a shame to Democrats,” she told a reporter. “I don’t even know why he’s running. He seems to want to get Republicans voting for him—what kind of strategy is that?”

It’s a valid question, one that has grown only more important 18 years later. It’s also apparently the kind of strategy that would wind up appealing to Sinema just a few years later as she shed her activism for what she’d come to describe as “letting go of the bear and picking up the Buddha.” Translation: Don’t pick fights with people you disagree with; instead, be more chill and open-minded toward your opponents in the interest of enlightened peace.

As a result, it’s hard to imagine Sinema’s 2003 condemnation of Lieberman coming from her mouth today. In the years since then, she has moderated her stances and leaned into a fervid attempt to rebuild the interparty comity that Biden so fondly recalls. When she was in the state Legislature, that meant trying to sway Arizonans against a same-sex marriage ban by highlighting its impact on

Andy Murray fumes over Stefanos Tsitsipas long bathroom break

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

play

Former U.S. Open champion Andy Murray was fuming toward the end of his first-round loss to No. 3 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas on Monday — and well afterwards — over what he viewed as an unethically long bathroom break before the decisive fifth set. Tsitsipas also took a medical timeout after losing the third set to Murray to have the trainers look at a foot injury. 

Immediately after the bathroom break, which clocked in at roughly eight minutes, Tsitsipas broke Murray’s serve and held on for an eventual 2-6, 7-6 (9-7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory. Murray complained loudly about it to the chair umpire throughout the fifth set and offered an icy handshake at the net following match point. 

Even after cooling down briefly in the locker room, Murray didn’t hesitate to unload on Tsitsipas’ tactics.

“It’s just disappointing because I feel it influenced the outcome of the match,” Murray said. “I’m not saying I necessarily win that match, for sure, but it had influence on what was happening after those breaks. I think he’s a brilliant player. I think he’s great for the game. But I have zero time for that stuff at all, and I lost respect for him.”

Murray, who is 34 years old and attempting to come back after having a major hip surgery in 2019, said he knows his comments could be construed as sour grapes but said he’d have come into the press conference saying the same thing if he’d won. And he’s not the only player to take issue with Tsitsipas’ lengthy trips to the bathroom after sets.

In fact, at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati fewer than two weeks ago, Alexander Zverev accused Tsitsipas during their semifinal match of taking his cell phone into the restroom after losing the first set and texting with his coach and father Apostolos, which is not allowed on the ATP Tour. 

Zverev had no proof that Tsitsipas broke any rules, but at the very least, the long restroom breaks can be viewed as an attempt to disrupt rhythm or frustrate an opponent — and Tsitsipas has gained a reputation for abusing that loophole.

Tsitsipas dismissed the Zverev accusations as the product of his imagination — “I have never in my career done that,” he said — and defended his use of the bathroom breaks.

“I think it’s clear that I took my clothes with me when I left the court, and that’s the amount of time it takes for me to change my clothes and come back to the court — takes a little bit of time,” he said. “As far as I know you’re allowed to have two toilet breaks to change clothes in a five

7 Places to Add an Extra Bathroom

No room for an extra bathroom? Think again! It’s a rare home where this is really the case. Adding a bathroom to your house is first and foremost based on the space you have.

A bathroom can be squeezed into an amazingly small space. An area 3 feet by 5 feet handles a sink and toilet; 3 feet by 8 feet is enough for a shower too, especially with today’s stylish shower enclosures. Architects maintain that a second or third bathroom can be installed into almost any size home if you look carefully. Bath fixtures can be located in a much smaller area than you think. Into 25 square feet, you can fit a complete – if cramped – shower bathroom which would keep the cost to add an extra bathroom low.

 

Where to Find Space

When adding a bathroom, walk-in closets often can be turned into powder rooms or bathrooms without tearing down walls. If you have a large rooms, adding a bathroom to a bedroom by stealing three feet from the length can make sufficient space. Sometimes a pantry can be spared. A bathroom can also be put in a low-ceiling area. You can tuck one into the attic under the eaves. Just allow six feet six inches of head room for a shower; an even lower ceiling is okay for a tub.

14 Bathroom Design Trends For 2021 – Luxury Home Remodeling

[email protected]_84 , , , , ,

As the bathroom changes, the possibilities for expansion and more space come to mind. In fact, the goal of having more space is oftentimes the number one reason why home owners choose to remodel. This includes the bathroom too! With compact storage options, you give yourself more room to expand on the bath or shower.

The bigger the bathtub, the more space and relaxation will be available to you. Homeowners deserve a place to wind down after a long day, and what better place to do so than their own bathrooms? While Jacuzzi styled tubs aren’t necessarily are popular as they used to be, we’re seeing a shift in preferences to other large tub styles.

Open showers appear to visually increase the size of your bathroom, while also giving it more space and providing convenience for users. Long gone are the days of worrying about slipping over the edge of the tub while you’re trying to get out and dry off. While some may find this design has a lack of privacy, others enjoy the accessible openness and increased shower space.

Asymmetrical Mirrors are here and better than ever before. Unique and geometric mirror shapes are all the buzz, but that’s not all! Mirrors, just like the rest of the bathroom are becoming smarter. Mirrors can have anti-fog technologies, smart touch abilities, USB charging stations, and just about anything else you can imagine. Long gone are the days of plated mirrors. With shaped frame options taking over, you have the ability to get as creative as possible when it comes to picking out the exact style. And we have not forgotten about the most important detail of bathroom mirrors- lighting. It’s all about the lighting. Getting ready in your sleek and stylish bathroom would mean nothing if you didn’t come out looking flawless,  right?! While we all love the idea of fun shapes and gadgets, functionality is at the top of our list. This is why we are seeing contemporary back lit mirrors as well a front lights increasing in popularity. Back lit mirrors are a more subtle option that will allow for optimal lighting. Lights in the front allow for more creativity, but may distract away from an asymmetrical mirror shape.Keep scrolling for some photo inspiration!

If you bought a pair of slippers just to escape the cold sensation on the bottom of your feet while walking across your bathroom floor; then it might be a good investment for you to consider adding a heating system under your floor.  When the temperatures outside are dropping–your wish could become a reality.  Underfloor heating can be used with a variety of flooring options like:  tile, concrete, vinyl, and wood to name a few.   But in a bathroom, the cold tile can transform into a beautiful soothing warm floor.  Heating systems not only provide heat, but they can also reduce noise levels and possible allergic reactions since there are no air currents disturbing
