Describe your dream-home.

Okay.

Well, first off it has to be big. Like, Quinn and Rachel’s house big so that I can fit all my family for visits and the like. 

And it has to have a big kitchen so that Momma and Ana and all of us can all be in there cooking together when they come for a visit. And there would be a walk in pantry with plenty of room for everything with room for more than one of us to be it at a time. 

And there will be top-of-the-line appliances like a glass-topped stoves (I know gas is what they use in restaurants, but I want a glass topped stove) with a warming/rising drawer, and one of those fancy fridges with the freezer in the bottom and an ice maker on the front, and a great big apron sink with one of those pull-out faucets.

And in the middle of the kitchen, there would be a nice, big, butcher block island, or better yet, one of those super think, solid wood butcher tables--and I mean one of those super old fashioned ones that are basically a half foot slab of wood on legs--and above it would be one of those hanging racks that you put all your pots and pans on.

Oooh, and granite counters. Big, thick granite counters, but not see-your-face-in-it polished granite, just polished enough to make it smooth.

And a nice, comfy floor. Something you could stand on for a couple of hours without a problem. 

And a dining room with a great big skylight over the table so you could eat under the stars even in the coldest weather.

And a great big family room with one of those home theatres in it. Like the kind with a movie screen and the movie theatre seats and a movie theatre popcorn/candy stall off to one side, but also plenty of room for people to just gather together and talk and chill out. Maybe make the theatre a separate room and connect it to the Family room.

Yes, I like that idea.

And plenty of guest rooms with extra thick insulated walls so they were always nice and warm in the Winter, and great big windows to let in plenty of sunlight and fresh air in the Summer. Each of them with their own bathrooms.

And a big bedroom for me with a walk-in closet and my own private bathroom with one of those rain shower showerheads and a little built-in bench I can sit on, and the toilet would be in its own little room off to one side, and a me-sized tub, one of those old clawfoot ones. 

And a massive library with shelves all the way to the ceiling and the ladders on rollers so you can get to the top shelves, and a great big comfy couch you could lie down on when you’re reading, and a couple of overstuffed chairs and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling right smack in the center of the room 

And a fireplace. A real one, with wood and the little metal grate you put it on and all of that.

And a bay window with a padded bench.

And a carpet. A thick, fluffy, lose-your-toes-in-it carpet.

And a big back yard with a great big old tree next to a pond and a little spot put aside for a garden and a little pen for Mrs. Porkers.

Finding The Right Luxury Condo

If you are in the market to either buy or rent luxury condos then there are a few things that you will need to consider. You will first have to determine your budget as to what you would like to spend on a new place. Once you know this figure then you can begin your search to find the perfect place for you and your family.

Finding the right location will be one of the most important considerations. You may want to look for a luxurious place on the ocean or by a lake. Waterfront views can be spectacular. You may be looking for a residence in the downtown area of a city where you have almost every convenience at your doorstep. Maybe you want to be in a place close to ski hills for vacationing in the winter. click to find out more Noma condo

Another thing you will want to look into is the level at which you want your new residence. Condos can come in many forms from high-rise building apartments, to low-rise building apartments to townhomes to detached homes. If you are looking for a great view, you might want to be higher off the ground. The top floor of a building known as the penthouse will give the greatest square footage and the best views. If you would like some sort of yard or easy access to the ground or beach, you will want to consider a townhome or detached home.

Amenities will be important at your new place. Swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, downhill ski runs and beaches are some of the convenient activities and places you can choose to have at your new residence. These can be part of the condo structure or they may be close by to wear you reside. If you are in a city then you might want to consider the types of stores and neighborhood that you will want near by.

The interior of your condo might be just as important as what amenities are available in the area. Your kitchen should have a beautiful backsplash, solid wood cabinets, granite counter tops and high-end stainless steel appliances with plenty of space to cook and entertain.

Bathrooms should be large and spa-like with deep soaking tubs with jets and large shower stalls. Beautiful tiling with wide consoles and two sinks are ideal. Other items can include a bench for sitting on to put on make-up in front of a large and well lit mirror.

Depending on the type of climate your house is in will give you a better idea of what flooring is required. If you are in a place that might have cooler temperatures then you will want in floor heating. A fireplace in the residence will also be important. Warmer environments should have hard ceramic or stone tile that easily keeps cool in hot weather.

The rooms should be bright and spacious. Window coverings can have remote control access to allow for easy functioning. Depending on what you are interested in, these residences can come furnished.

“Having the laundry on the main level as well as the master bedroom is desirable to so many people who are looking for single-level living,” said property manager Zack Kern. “The bedrooms are located on opposite ends from the residence next door, which really adds to the quiet serenity residents feel inside the townhomes.”

Resident Andi Zigmant said she loves her townhome. Her family enjoys the neighborhood, having lived in their previous home in the Shawnee area for 14 years. “The layout is a great use of space. The kitchen has wonderful working room and upgraded appliances. The walk-in pantry is amazing. There is just a lot of really nice touches like soft-close cabinets, a bench in the shower and lever handles on the doors. Anyone who has carried in groceries knows how helpful those are!”

The Greens of Chapel Creek Townhomes are built by award-winning custom home builder Kevin Stallings of Dreams & Design Building, a design/build firm. As a Certified Green Professional with 25+ years of industry experience, Kevin has garnered several prestigious building awards. Most recently, his homes won the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Parade of Homes Grand Prize and First Place Awards! Kevin’s knowledge for energy efficient designs has made him one of the top Midwest builders of Energy Star 3.0 certified homes. Homeowners have enjoyed average utility savings of over $2,200 per year. The best HERS (Homes Energy Rating System) rating he has achieved was 38 without solar. Compare that with the standard rating of 100, and he is 62% more efficient than a standard home. (The lower the score, the better the efficiency.)

Kevin’s passion for home building extends to new and innovative processes such as geo thermal, zip system and suspended slabs for storage. He has incorporated ground to roof sound deadening fire walls between units, and lockable solid core pocket doors provide improved sound deadening for a more private living experience.

Snow and lawn maintenance are provided by the homes association, creating a true lock and leave lifestyle not only for empty nesters, but for anyone who doesn’t want the constraints of property maintenance and is looking for the freedom to enjoy other aspects of life.

Tucked back in a quiet area of western Shawnee away from the hustle and bustle, the townhomes still offer easy access to newly developed attractions, businesses, shops and restaurants, as well as to Highways K-7, I-435, I-35 and K-10 for a quick commute to anywhere in the metro area and Lawrence.

The Sequel - 884

The End Is Near

André Schürrle, Juan Mata, other Chelsea/BVB players, and random awesome OC’s (okay they’re less random now but they’re still pretty awesome)

original epic tale

all chapters of The Sequel

“Run faster!” Christina and Tom shouted in unison.

“I’m trying!” Stefanie shouted back, struggling to drag a large Hanoverian behind her.

“What does that look like to you? I can’t even tell.”

“In the shoulder maybe.”

“You think? I was going to say something high up behind, like maybe even in the spine.”

“Whichever end of the horse is the problem, it looks very bad, and there isn’t any heat or swelling anywhere at all.”

“Put him away and call Dr. Todd, I guess. Don’t give him anything in case he can come today still.”

Nick was lame again. There was no obvious reason, for a change. The fetlock with the bone chip wasn’t the problem. The other fetlock that occasionally swelled after work was tight. His knees looked fine, and he didn’t react to the hoof testers. His gait was badly wrong, but in a confusing and ambiguous way. The two most experienced people on the property couldn’t decide if they thought it was a problem with the front half of him or the rear. He pinned his ears and resisted as much as possible as Stefanie tried to jog him down the concrete patio at the back of the barn, past his stablemates’ open Dutch doors. Trotting on a hard surface helps exacerbate the pain from an injury, because it’s harsher on just about everything that could be injured than the nice soft footing in the ring, or even grass. It’s supposed to make it easier to see the source of the pain. Christina and Tom were flummoxed. And Christina’s worry about the situation wasn’t just because Nick was getting old and his ouchies were happening more often, or that he looked ready to kick someone in the face. He was supposed to be in a photoshoot with her in an hour.

The president of the Global Champions Tour personally asked her to be the cover star of the new luxury style magazine that would accompany the show series around the globe and feature articles and interviews and tons of advertising by the Tour’s sponsors, brand partners, and boutique sellers. There was going to be a big launch party at the Final, and then it would come out quarterly the following year. The defending champion wanted to use Nick since she was going to be posing by his head and modeling a diamond necklace. He had the handsomest head in her stable, and was very patient about photoshooting.

“He can still pose for a camera,” Tom countered, as if to read her mind. “It doesn’t hurt to stand still.” His point was well made. They only spotted the problem in the first place because he put him on the lunge line to give him a chance to get out any hijinks before the crew showed up. It wasn’t as if the stallion had been lying down in his stall, moaning in agony. He walked fine.

“Can I stop now?” Stefanie called from the end of the covered walk.

“Yeah,” the other two called back simultaneously. Rider was still getting used to groom being as “in charge” as he was. Isandro was more subordinate in that role, most of the time.

“Okay. Spiff him up, I guess,” she shrugged reluctantly. “But call the vet first.”

“Duuuuuh.” He mocked the way she always retorted to people who stated or asked the obvious. And she appreciated his candor and nonchalance, because it told her he wasn’t overly concerned about Nick.

“Let’s go sneak another coffee before the stylists get here and put whitening strips on my teeth,” Christina told her two very obedient Toy Fox Terriers, who were waiting by her feet. They followed her into the barn and up the central aisle toward the indoor, and she texted André to tell him about the horse. He was at training, as he should have been. His being back on the normal schedule, doing full training with his teammates and spending the bulk of each day at Brackel, required an adjustment for her that she really didn’t want to make. His girl had gotten used to him having more flexibility during his injury and rehab. He had a lot of time off, and his individual sessions took less time, and could move around. He had plenty of time to spend with her.

I want a hug, she grumbled inside while trudging up the stairs to her lounge for that coffee. The dogs raced ahead and flew through the flap in the door at the top. Her facility had a lot of cold weather considerations. It wouldn’t have occurred to her to put so many doors between the barn aisle, the bathroom, the bleachers, and the pass-through into the indoor. The architects knew better. It would stay nice and toasty warm in the lounge in the dead of winter, and also in the bathroom, while the J-shaped hallway and the stairs would be flooded with cold air every time someone opened the door to sit on the bleachers. Spencer and Lucky had beds upstairs by the couch so that they could be somewhere cozy whenever they wanted. There was a doggy-door into the tack room as well, but the door it was installed in would be opened and closed constantly throughout the day and it wouldn’t stay that warm since Christina was wary of pumping extreme amounts of artificial heat in there, on the basis that it was drying for the leather goods. She liked her tack room to be comfortable for humans in one less layer than they wore outside, and without hats or gloves. Her dogs liked sauna temperatures everywhere, all the time. They also liked the fun of hopping through three doggy doors to get to the lounge when unaccompanied by a human. They both sat like good boys by the espresso machine while she made her drink, knowing that they might get a biscuit from the metal tin next to the sink.

“I hope this shoot doesn’t take forever,” their mom told them. “I need to ride Sexy Socks and Dirk and Rio and the Iceman still, and Schü and I are going out for dinner tonight. Do you think it’s foolish of me to take Socks to Doha? He thinks it’s a bad idea, since Socks was such an assface in Barcelona. I kind of have to now anyway. I’m already bringing Rio, I clearly can’t take Nick now, Kimi isn’t ready for that, and Calvin doesn’t do long distance flights that well. Dirk isn’t ready. I could do Cartagena, maybe, but why do that when I have Socks? He did so many rounds of this championship anyway. What do you- Oh. You’re waiting for treats.” Christina cocked her head at the black and white and black and white and brown little creatures looking up at her inquisitively. At first she thought they were listening intently to her dilemma. They always made that face when someone asked them a question. But their focus and stare were too intense for that. They were silently begging her for crunchy peanut butter bones. She poured the two little espresso cups into her big, colorful Anthropologie mug and then selected two treats from the tin. The pups hopped up, excited, but hurried back to their haunches to receive them. Spencer immediately started eating his, and Lucky trotted off toward the couch with his. They were both finished devouring their biscuits by the time their human added her steamed milk and was ready to go back into the barn.

“When are you gonna get a job?” she asked Stefanie, who was sitting on the bench across from the grooming stall where Nick was getting polished and combed. There was no real reason for her to be there yet. Her horses were on the board for the afternoon.

“Hopefully never,” the younger rider shrugged. She was eating instant oatmeal in the plastic container it came in. The plumbing offered water hot enough for oatmeal making. That was one of Christina’s favorite things about the property. They could get properly hot water from any spigot, hose, or tap. The hotter the soaking water, the softer the beet pulp the horses ate in bulk with their grain.

“Dr. Todd will come this evening,” Tom mentioned from the crossties.

“Like when this evening?”

“6, 7.”

“Ugh. Okay.”

“Plans?” Stefanie asked knowingly.

“Reservations.”

“You don’t need to be here,” the groom and stable manager reminded.

“Yeah I do. It’s fine. It just means I can’t give Luke his dinner.” Actually, Christina realized, if he comes at 6, it gets in the way of my getting ready time. If he comes at 7, it gets in the way of Munchkin dinner. We have to leave at 8. Ugh, whatever. She plopped heavily on the bench and gulped her cortado. “I wish the photoshoot was later. Then my hair and makeup would be all done and everything. As it is, they’e gonna make me all pretty and stuff in a little while, then I have to wipe it all off, ride and get sweaty, and then shower and start over. Bleh.”

“Where are you having dinner?” the blonde girl inquired.

“Some American-style steakhouse I haven’t been to yet. It’s faaaancy, or so I’m told.”

“Are you wearing something sexy?”

“Of course.”

“Such as?”

“This is when I question my decision to work here,” Tom commented, speaking exclusively to Nick. “Kyle likes to talk sexy dinner outfits as much as these women. I’m surrounded by this nonsense here. In my old position, we spoke about how long our morning shits take, and seasonal beers. In this stable, there is a silver box of tampons under the granite counter in the bathroom. I don’t know how Isandro deals with these women for so long, Nick. How do you do it?”

“Okay, macho man,” Christina snorted with an eye roll. “Nicky loves us. Isa loves us. And I’m wearing this high-neck black cocktail dress with gold studded cap sleeves. I’ve had it forever- like since before I got married- and it’s one of my favorite things but I never wear it because- Well, I dunno.” Because Jill helped me pick it out. “Anyway, I have something sexier for after dinner.”

“Oooooh.” Stefanie’s eyebrows wiggled and Tom’s eyes rolled. Nick didn’t seem to have any strong feelings either way.

“Where is Isa?”

“Setting up the jump course you wrote down for the grass field.”

“Aww, I would have helped. I was going to do it tomorrow.”

“It’s not that much work. Kyle is with him.”

“Does this mean we’re doing lessons on the big course?” Stefanie’s voice and face were brimming with hope and expectation. The girls had been talking about building a grand prix style course on the grass for about a week. They wanted one with a lot of options for different tracks, in whole or in pieces. Both of them took the same special joy from the sensation of riding and jumping on grass. The sound of hooves on the ground does something to a rider. It’s almost like a primal thing, and one doesn’t get it from riding in sand or synthetic footing. A horse has to be more aware of the going, because it’s more slippery. They need their instincts to help. It makes it all more exciting. The girls hacked on the grass fairly often, and sometimes had a handful of fences out there. They wanted the competition-type jumps from the shed- the Red Bull can standards, the Chelsea planks, the faux castle, and the tall gates- all the bells and whistles. Christina sat down at her desk and drew a very exact diagram of what type of jump she wanted and where, down to the color of the poles. It took about an hour to map it out and plan challenges and questions. Contrary to Tom’s dismissive shrug, lugging those fences out of the storage shed or moving them from the dirt ring to the grass and then setting everything up was a lot of work, and it would only be worth it if they got a lot of use out of them and in different ways, so that they wouldn’t overuse the grass on one track, or kill the takeoff and landing zones at every fence. They could spread it out and keep it interesting. And they were all feeling in need of “interesting”. Stefanie was doing a lot of top-level classes, and Kyle was moving up as scheduled with both Calvin and Cartagena. Christina had been fighting boredom for a long time. They all needed to spice up their training, and that was true for some of the horses too.

“Yeah,” coach told student. “I hope we have lots of Magic Cushion.”

“Always,” Tom affirmed from behind the big dark bay horse. He was combing his tail, and talking about the hoof-packing product that helped prevent soreness from working on the hard ground.

“Are you currying Nicky’s butt or is he begging for coffee? He’s got that “aww yeah baby” face, and his lips are out of control,” Christina laughed.

“I’m scratching his dock while I brush out the tail. This tail is a triumph. It better be in the photographs.”

“My horses all have nicer, healthier tails than I have hair,” she pouted, end of her ponytail in hand. Nick, Dirk, and Calvin in particular had really thick, long, lusciously shiny black tails. Rio’s was a bit thin by comparison, Socks’ was recovering from an evidently long history of breakage, and Kimi’s was naturally almost bushy, like his mane and forelock, so it appeared less soft. Navarra constantly tried to rub the top of hers on fences and walls, and that took a toll. She was still catching up on the beauty standards in the barn. At Holger’s she was allowed to be dirty and unkempt. Isandro really liked her personality and made cleaning her up his pet project. Getting the kind of shine customary in Christina’s stable was not the work of just a few groomings.

“That’s because they don’t get shampooed every day,” Stefanie remarked.

“Neither does mine! I try to only wash it every other day. When I can. Usually.”

“Did you wash it this morning?”

“Yes, but I had to! Photoshoot!”

“And you’re going to wash it again tonight before your pre-sex steak, right?”

“Shut up.”

“I have Michael so well trained,” she bragged, almost facetiously. “He uses his fingers to comb the dry shampoo through my hair each night while we watch television. He doesn’t have to hang out with a girl with smelly, oily hair, and I get a massage and a really good brushing. I shampoo once per 5 days.”

“Eww.”

“My hair isn’t as oily as yours! And I still shower!”

“I shampoo and condition every day,” Tom shrugged on his way back to the front of the horse to give his mane and forelock one last onceover. “My hair is pretty okay, I think.”

“Boy hair is different,” Christina tutted. Then she turned back to the rider beside her. “Are you getting finger-combed at your place or are you hanging at Michael’s all the time?”

“Both. Kyle goes out a lot lately with some people who live one floor down. He’s trying to figure out how to date with limited German.”

“Girls or boys?”

“I think he’s beginning with girls.”

“He should go out drinking with Isa. Isa will get him a girl,” she sniggered. “Where is this photographer? She’s supposed to be here by now.”

“I thought photographers always want the first or last light?” Stefanie posited before scooping out the last spoonful of oatmeal. The cinnamon smell was making her trainer hungry.

“We’re shooting inside.” Said trainer slid back all the way against the bench and lifted the front of her layered waffle shirts up to scratch at her tummy. Knowing the cover shoot would involve a stylist bringing her outfits, she couldn’t be bothered changing out of the clothes she donned after her workout to play with Lukas. Her comfy sweatpants hung very low on her hips to begin with, so her shirts didn’t have far to go to make her stomach feel very cold. There was a mostly-healed scratch right under her belly button- an accident, from her son- that itched like crazy as the tiny scabs prepared to fall off on their own. “Should I call her and see if they’re lost or something?”

“Wouldn’t they call if they were lost?” Tom pointed out.

“Maybe they don’t know they’re lost.”

“Well how would you know if you called them?”

“I dunno.”

“It’s amazing that you two travel the world together, honestly.” Stefanie shook her head ruefully and got up to put the plastic container in the trashcan in the other grooming stall. She stopped to rub Nick’s forehead on the way back, and he nudged at her stomach just to let her know that he was interested in anything she might have for him, like whatever that sweet smell on her breath was. “Can’t feed the models,” she told him. “I guess you’re not mad at me for making you jog on your...whatever hurts.”

“He clearly isn’t in any discomfort right now at least,” Christina chuckled while she watched her stallion thoroughly investigate the other girl for food. Her horses all acted like nobody fed them, and she liked that, because it meant they had personalities. A lot of their kind don’t. Her band of characters brought so much life and entertainment to the day in, day out tedium of the stable routine. Keeping their training interesting and varied was one thing. The chores and care at the barn were the opposite. Everyone who worked there agreed that consistency was key for keeping the horses healthy and ensuring the place functioned safely, professionally, and efficiently. It made for a lot of monotony for the guys. An affectionate, curious, or even mischievous equine could give them moments of entertainment or enjoyment to break it up. The canine workers did too. One of them sprang into Christina’s lap to see if he was missing anything. “Hi Spence.” She stroked his mostly black little head, and he licked her fingers.

“You look like you’re at home on the sofa,” Tom commented. He wore a small, lopsided grin and was using Nick’s neck to support his left arm. “This is a horse stable.”

“I don’t wear sneakers in the house. Are you going to put him away and let him get dirty again or make him wait on the crossties?”

“Call the photographer and find out how far they are.”

Christina switched hands with her giant mug to reach into the deep pocket of her sweats for her phone. André hadn’t replied yet, which was expected. He was training. She hoped for a message from Juan though, even thought he was also training, presumably. He wrote to her in the middle of the night to ask when she was returning home. “Home” was a charged word. He could have meant London, or he could have meant himself, because she told him he was home for her, many times. Her text back to him asked if he was okay or if he was just being sweet, or if he couldn’t sleep and just wanted to see if she was magically up at that hour. She knew the Spaniard would have seen the message by then. He would have had plenty of time to read it before even getting to Cobham given how early she woke up.

“They’re about 10 minutes out,” she reported to everyone after speaking with the photographer. “You might as well put him back in his stall. It’s going to take them some time to get me dressed and blown out and made up and stuff. He doesn’t need to be spotless if they want to use him to do test shots or something. You’ll have a chance to wipe him off again before I’m ready. You could even tie him in the stall if you want.”

“Yeah, I think I will do, as long as Stef is going to be around?”

“I’ll keep an eye on him. Or ear.” Stefanie nodded and got back up from the bench to stretch and yawn. Her vigilance was necessary because Christina didn’t really like tying the horses in their stalls. There was always the risk that they could freak out about being tethered in a place they usually had freedom, they could somehow get a leg caught over the lead even though it was deliberately tied quite short, or they could manage to get it caught on a bucket or something and dump it out and make a mess. The only reason to do it was to keep them from rolling in their bedding and getting dirty, or if they needed to wait while tacked up and not get into trouble with all the equipment on. Her rule was that horses couldn’t be tied anywhere or left on the crossties unattended, and Tom was going to go do other work until he was needed to assist on the shoot. Nick’s rider gave him a nose smooch and promised him the vet would come later to make whatever was hurting him go away, and his groom took him back to his stall.

“I hope I got paid for this up front,” she yawned before moving to get a broom to sweep up the hair and dirt left behind on the rubber mat where the horse had been and then realizing she couldn’t sweep without putting her coffee down, and that it wasn’t worth it. Tom would undoubtedly be right back to do the tidying up before moving on to other chores. “I would so much rather be shopping for pumpkins with Lukas right now, or helping him with his bike. He’s really good with the training wheels. Did I tell you?”

“Yes. Like 9 times. Can I go pumpkin shopping whenever you do get to do it? I want to make one for Michael, for his desk.”

“Yeuck you’re so in love. It’s gross.”

Designer Bathroom Decorating Ideas that Never Fail

Give your bathroom a makeover with some of these no-fail decorating ideas from interior designers!

Photo: Feedly

The bathroom has long been a very practical space and only recently started to get serious attention as a spot for designer creativity. If you’re thinking about doing a little updating, you might start to get overwhelmed by some of the newer trendy options for bathroom looks. Which ideas are the most fool-proof, and will work for just about any space?

Popular plumbers in Lane Cove, the Plumbing Detectives, have seen all sorts of decorating ideas over the years and know which ones are the best bets for an easy renovation project.

Adding More Storage

One area where you can’t go wrong is to make changes to the bathroom that adds storage. Cabinets and shelves are always welcome and can be very stylish at the same time.

Over-the-toilet cabinets are an excellent choice as they help add some extra storage areas in a spot that often goes unused in a bathroom. You could replace a pedestal sink with a larger vanity unit with shelves and drawers, or install additional shelves within the shower stall to add more space for shampoo and other products.

Luxury Showers

You no longer have to do a major plumbing reno to ramp up your showering experience. There are so many wonderful shower fixtures on the market these days that you can create a spa atmosphere without extensive construction work. Replace that plain shower head with a large “rain shower” fixture that creates a more gentle water flow from above, or add a hand-held shower wand for some added flexibility.

Benches or seats can be added if you want a space that allows for a bit more relaxation too.

Natural Stone

This is such a versatile look that it’s used time and time again, regardless of what kind of style you are aiming for in the bathroom. Depending on how you use it, natural stone can work nicely in a rustic vintage bathroom or a sleek modern one. And by natural stone, we’re talking about limestone, granite, slate or marble.

Photo: Bathrooms Designs

Flooring is the usual spot for natural stone tiles, but don’t forget the walls (particularly in the shower stall or along a sink backsplash). You can also stone for the countertop and even the sink basin itself. Stone looks wonderful, can be very durable and not difficult to care for.

Replacing Carpet

If you have a really “old school” bathroom look, you might even still have carpeting to deal with. This is definitely a must-replace job, regardless of what other kind of flooring you prefer. The look is very dated and considered to be extremely un-hygenic given how much moisture is in a bathroom. So if you are dealing with a carpeted bathroom, that should be the first thing to go.

Classic White

When you can’t really settle on a color, you can go with the never-fail option of white. It’s crisp, clean and basically timeless. You’ll always find fixtures and appliances in white, and it’s easy enough to add a few pops of color when you do figure out what kind of palette you want.

The 5 Bathroom Trends Through the Years That Will Make You Cringe

While a variety of bathroom trends that have come and gone, few have stood the test of time.  Unlike the sleek, white subway tiles popular today, bathroom tiles were once brightly colored squares of sea foam green, orange and pink.  If you’ve purchased a home that hasn’t seen any updates in the last forty years, it’s time to rethink that retro bathroom. Take a trip down memory lane and look back at some of the worst bathroom designs and how to update them for today.   

Pink Sinks and Toilets

The trend: Used in mid century America, pink was a popular bathroom color throughout the United States.  First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower was partially responsible for the popularity of pink, as she redecorated most of the private quarters of the White House in shades of pink.  Reporters even started calling the White House the “Pink Palace!”  When you see a bubble-gum pink shower surround or toilet in your home, you can be sure that the bathroom probably hasn’t been renovated since the 1950s.

The update: The modern update for bathrooms today are clean looking hues, generally shades of white and cream. Replace the toilet and tub with new white models to give the bathroom a fresh look.  Or, replace the tub altogether and build a large shower stall with a bench and shower niche.

Carpeted Floors

The trend: Wall to wall carpeting is reminiscent of the post WWII era. From the living room, to bathroom, carpeted floors were everywhere.  While carpeting in bedrooms is a great idea, carpeted bathrooms often lead to issues. The threat of mold and mildew in the carpet is a concern due to the elevated water and moisture levels in the bathroom. Post shower, the carpet is absorbing most of the water spilled onto the floor, causing it to get trapped and promote the growth of mold. While carpeting is a non slip option, there are other alternatives to consider.

The update:  A modern solution for carpeted flooring is to remove the carpeting and replace it with tiles or laminate flooring. Tile or laminate flooring offered today are made to look like more expensive materials and textured non slip options are available. Once the carpet is gone, use a washable bathmat to collect water when you step out of the shower to avoid mold and mildew growth.

Laminate Countertops

The trend: In the 1970s, Formica countertops were available in almost every color you could imagine.  Due to their range of colors and low price point, these were used in bathrooms everywhere. If you have an aqua colored counter in your bathroom or a scalloped sink, you can rest assured that the bathroom hasn’t been updated since disco ruled the radio.

The update: Give your countertops a more modern look by choosing vanity tops in neutral, subdued hues.  Consider spending a little more to update the cheap laminate to granite, marble or quartz countertops.

Terrible Tile Patterns

The trend: Tile is a great option for the bathroom because it is water-resistant. Unfortunately, many of the colors and designs used in the past included pea green or ugly brown tiles in patterns that were less than desirable. The most popular tile trend in the bathrooms stacked colored squares placed in a gridded pattern halfway up the wall and complemented with an accent border.

The update: Tiles are still trendy! However, the colors and patterns have changed. Update your bathroom using white subway tiles in a brick, herringbone, or vertical patterns. Choosing a different grout color such as gray makes your tiles stand out and gives the bathroom a modern look that will be suitable for years to come.

Bold Floral Patterns

The trend: In the 1960s, wallpaper in large floral patterns became popular in bathrooms.  In the 1980s, bright floral valances and accessories were made popular, extending the floral trend for decades.  Like carpeting, wallpaper also has its issues in regards to moisture.  The extra humidity and moisture in the bathroom can cause the wallpaper to peel.

To update: For an updated look, exchange the big florals and wallpaper for touches of natural materials.  Replace the wallpaper with a new coat of paint and use natural accessories. For a natural, Zen feel, choose materials made of bamboo, cotton, or other organic materials. Image 38744609

Bathroom design changes can include:

Replacing pink toilets with white ones

Switching carpet for tile

Bright colored countertops to more subdued countertops

Choosing different colored tiles and patterns

Removal of floral patterns in exchange for organic materials

Caesar Stone Countertops Used In Various Ways and Change the Overall Look of Your Kitchen

Whether you are renovating your kitchen totally or just seeking to give your kitchen bench tops an alteration, the exact material for you no uncertainty requires to be durable, functional, look nice and be within your financial plan. Having a good-looking kitchen is one of the most essential factors to just about every landowner, often termed as 'the heart of the home'. Naturally, all meals are prepared in the kitchen, from on the go breakfasts to delicious dinner creations to lure those with willing appetites from their seats around the house. A fantastic option to granite and marble is Caesar stone countertops; if you haven't assumed it yet, take a view at what it has to give.

Caesar stone is an elegant and processed man-created stone made out of 93% natural quartz collective and 7% polymer resins and pigments, which creates it shiny, glossy and several times harder than normal stone. In the past, granite and marble have been the most famous choices for kitchens however Caesar stone countertops is steadier than either of these natural stones and is secure and sturdier as well as opposed to granite.

Silestone Countertops is a natural quartz stone that has several of the advantages of marble or granite, as well as a few special ones. As durable as marble and granite, you can't hit silestone countertop plans for being mark resistant. The other natural stone surfaces are virtually impervious to scratches and burns, but they can mark no matter how well closed because of their natural porous come to an end. Silestone is non porous and hence won't scratch. It isn't essential to seal this material either, as is the condition with marble and granite. It all factors out to make a very user affable countertop, which is very supportive in a room that gets accessed as much as the kitchen.

Of course, you can utilize Silestone Countertops in the kitchen for flooring, and backsplashes. The fun just stays coming in the bathroom where this weighty and attractive substance can be used in the similar applications as the kitchen, as well as in the shower stall or tub. Some folks make silestone countertop plans for their house wet bar or to embellish around the fireplace.
