Right above my bathtub in my master bathroom the paint is peeling off the wall. The area is peeling above the tile in my bathtub and shower combination. I tried to glue the peeling paint back and only made the situation worst.

First things first. The paint is peeling because there is to much moisture in the bathroom while you are using it. Do you have any windows you can open or a ventilating bathroom fan. If you have a window crack it open part way while you are showering.

The water droplets will accumulate on the walls and drip into any cracks. Right above the tile grout is a great place for moisture to accumulate. Oh yeah moisture loves grout and drywall. If you have any unpainted areas or an area that has cracked. Guess what you have now.

One of the essential processes in any bathroom remodeling project is to determine the types of bathroom faucets that will fit into the final design. A homeowner may not realize that there are several different types of bathroom faucet designs that all serve a different purpose. To get the right faucet for the project, it is essential to know the primary design types.

As with most home remodeling products, bathroom faucets have different kinds of layouts that affect how well the faucet will fit in with the project design. Some faucet types will not work with a vanity depending on the layout of the vanity and the needs of the bathroom. It is important to become familiar with the terminology and how it applies to faucet designs before deciding on which faucet to install in a bathroom.

Planning a new bathroom or remodeling an existing one? Use these bathroom layout tips to create an intimate, rejuvenating space.

Your bathroom layout master plan starts with drawing a scale footprint, or floor-plan. Grab your measuring tape, a ruler and some graph paper. A scale of 1/4 inch to 1 foot (or 2 cm to 30 cm) is standard. If you’re using a computer program instead of paper, the idea is still the same.

I encourage you to take plenty of time at this stage. Try different layouts. You’ll intuitively go back to the ones that work best for you.

Creating a Beach House Bathroom Decorating Theme, Part 1

Creating a Beach House Bathroom Decorating Theme, Part 1

Bring a breath of fresh air to town bathrooms with a breezy beach-house theme, or create a soothing mood inspired by the natural colors and textures of the seashore.

The beach-house bathroom is a foil of gentle contrasts. Clean lines and a restricted color palette create a fresh, uncluttered look. The colors of sun, sea, and sand are naturally an influence. The style is low-key, romantically rustic, and simple. And the way you put the colors together should reflect these qualities.

A half bath or powder room may be the place to indulge your decorative fantasies..

This can be especially true in a busy household with young children.

Consider who will be using your half bath or powder room before you begin. If it is not primarily for family overflow, and will be utilized mostly by guests, a powder room can be the place to indulge a few decorative whims until your children are older.

The half bath or powder room is a good place to put a little extra luxury and special or fancy decor.

A pedestal sink or a whimsical vessel sink may not be right for the main bathroom while children are still small, but could work well in a powder room which is mostly used by your visitors, and it can give you a place to show off a little.
