Small Bathroom Remodel Recap " class="pin" width="620" height="620" /> Get up to 4 Free Quotes! Recently, my wife and I decided to remodel the three small bathrooms in our townhouse. When we moved in six years ago, we remodeled everything besides the bathrooms; we didn’t have the budget at the time and focused on the kitchen, floors, basement, and a few other improvements.

Here’s what I learned from the process. Budget Your Bathroom Makeover Before I started looking for a contractor, I researched what a remodeling project like ours may cost. I started by using the ImproveNet’s bathroom remodel cost estimator to get a general idea of the range of bathroom remodeling costs in my area. But because our bathrooms are pretty small, I wanted to get a better idea of what a...

The same way, a corner bathtub can turn out to be a great option. Freestanding models View in gallery Basically any freestanding tub can be placed in the corner if that’s the desired configuration.

Heat and sun can create health and safety problems for some older people, especially during prolonged exposure. But a little knowledge and preparation, you can easily enjoy summer fun alongside your family and friends. 1. Stay hydrated Probably the biggest summer health concern for older adults is dehydration.

Without these two sensations, you may not be aware you are losing fluids so you don’t replenish fluids. Other signs of dehydration are dark, concentrated urine or dizziness when you stand up. To avoid this altogether, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water -- an easy rule to remember is eight...

Color coded notebooks/folders: Check Sweatpants for every day of the week: Check You have everything you could possibly need for college…or so you thought. Below is a list of 5 must-have items for every college student. You know; the things that you would never think of, but really can’t survive without. Time to make one more shopping run.

A library with a fireplace and a retro vibe were the initial attractions to this home

Image
It was the library that Lee- Anne Barnhill fell in love with when she bought her home at 227 Dewar Tce, Corinda, 10 years ago. Her plans then were to renovate the property and turn it into a large family home , but it was something they put off and have just recently done. The result is an almost complete rebuild of the home and a decision that, as their children have now grown up, they would sell it instead. 227 Dewar St, Corinda “The kids grew up and a family home as such wasn’t required at all,’’ Ms Barnhill said. “It really presents as a brand new home. “Honestly, I bought the house because I fell in love with the sixties retro, funky look. It was dark brown, glazed brick which everyone poo-pooed in those days, but now of course everyone wants it because it is so fashionable. “I loved the joinery and just the feel of it and the library. 227 Dewar St, Corinda “I think I fell in love with the library with the brick fireplace . Once we started renovating, we realised it was easier ju...
