The features and benefits of walk in bathtub and shower.

Taking a bath or a shower becomes a problem when you are of advanced age with the associated ailments. Old age is something which everyone has to face, and the things that seemed easy in the young age, becomes a difficult proposition in day to day life. One such thing is taking a bath or a shower. Just the thought about a wet bathroom floor is enough to put an elderly person abandon the idea of taking a bath as it is too risky. Walking on a wet and slippery floor always presents the risk of a nasty fall. And the steep edges of a bath tub are another factor which tests ones’ balancing skills, which an elderly person will definitely be lacking in. This is the reason why the popularity of walk in bathtub and shower is increasing steadily. These tub shower combinations are cost effective and easy to install, so they are being snapped up by homeowners irrespective of the kind of bathrooms they have. The safety features of these tub showers make it the ideal bathing solution for the el...

Moschino Bag Is a Roll of Toilet Paper

Image
Sometimes a runway show is so, for lack of a better word, weird that it actually causes your brain to short-circuit. Such was the case with the Moschino show, which took place last week in Milan, but which I am only able to really take in and process now, four days later. What was so weird about it? Well, for one thing, all the outfits looked like they were made out of garbage. Literally. I mean, there was a whole range of dresses made out of what looked like paper or plastic bags.

And while a dress or bag might look like it is made out of paper or p...

6 Shower Curtain Styling Ideas

Image
Save to My Favourites While we’d all love a glass- walled splash room or Crittall doors, we don’t all have the budget or space. It might not be your first choice but we’re here to show you how to make a bathroom with a shower curtain look cool. Make A Statement With Dark Hues Offset a clean and simple curtain with moody blues and rich greens. The shower curtain may be Ikea but the walls will scream Farrow & Ball. Alternatively, if you’ve got a lot of white walls and tiles to work with, a splash of dark colour – we love mossy green – will add a sense of drama to the space. Choose A Bold Print Tap into your favourite trend, be it botanicals or Moroccan-cool, with a cheap and cheerful print curtain . H&M and Urban Outfitters have some great options starting from as little as £14.99. Contrast With Luxe Finishes Gold rails and shower heads add a touch of luxe to a bathroom. Metallic touches work particularly well with classic white, marble-look or metro tiles. Go Round If yo...

Bathroom Reno on a Budget

Image
Our master ensuite reno was a real splurge: from the vanity to the shower set to the exhaust fan, we spared no expense. And that's the way it should be. Besides being the most used bathroom and our my retreat, the master ensuite is also one of the top selling features of any house. As I am getting ready for yet another bathroom renovation , my goal this time is to up-cycle as much as possible and stay on budget. I will only get rid of those that absolutely won't play into my overall design such as tiles and vanity countertop . In addition, I will replace more efficient fixtures such as toilet and shower set which are not only good for the environment but also offer great payback through energy/water savings. Another really inexpensive way to renovate a bathroom is paint. A few days ago we finally dropped off this ugly baby at Paint It Like New, and I made a gutsy move (to me at least)  by choosing a darker shade -- the Benjamin Moore's Pigeon Gray.  And this is the f...

8 Literary Shower Curtains to Make Your Bathroom Look Like a Library

Image
I have, in my head, a dream bathroom. There’s a giant tub in it, lots of fluffy towels, good lighting (but not so good that I can see every single one of my pores), waterproof shelves near the tub so I can read in the bath, speakers for my iPhone so I can listen to audiobooks, and… that’s where my vision stops short , because I want bookshelves in this dream bathroom, but I know keeping books in a bathroom is a terrible idea. But what if you could keep your books in an appropriately dry room while seeming to have a library in your bathroom? The Internet has the answer: shower curtains . Bookshelves, piles of books, close-ups of spines; there are so many options to make your bathroom bookish without endangering your actual books. (Or your health, because mold is no joke.) A word of caution: Some of these curtains are decorative and require liners! I will do my best to warn you, but do your research before you buy any of them. At $20, this is one of the least expensive shower curtain...

“The hunger is back” – Arsenal fans react as Jack Wilshere is sent-off vs. Man City U23’s

Jack Wilshere saw red for Arsenal U23’s against their Manchester City counterparts on Monday night. The 25-year-old was named in a strong Gunners side – which included Rob Holding as well as impressive youngsters such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson – at the Emirates Stadium and it’s safe to say the midfielder had an interesting outing. In a search for important game time in a bid to return to full fitness following yet another injury setback last season, Wilshere’s evening last just 63 minutes as he was shown a straight red card after pushing City youngster Matthew Smith to the floor. 37': Jack Wilshere gets an assist.

Separate is never equal: What “Hidden Figures” says about America’s trans bathroom debate

Can you imagine running half a mile in high heels just to go to the bathroom? The most powerful scene in Theodore Melfi’s “Hidden Figures,” starring Octavia Spencer , Taraji P. Henson and singer Janelle Monae as three black mathematicians overcoming institutional barriers at NASA in the 1960s, powerfully underscores the horror of “separate but equal.” Because of her expertise in analytical geometry, Katherine Goble (Henson) is tapped to work on the mission to launch the Mercury craft Friendship 7 into space; her work on the project is about to make John Glenn (Glen Powell) the first man to orbit the Earth. Gobel, whose genius was apparent since she was very young, does all the calculations by hand. There is a major impediment, however, to doing her work effectively: Langley Research Center , located in Virginia, doesn’t have a bathroom in the East Campus, the building that houses its space task group . To access the “colored bathroom,” Katherine has to jog back to the west campus, ...
