So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Put Thought Into Your Bathroom Remodel

By Sheila Tomkins

Why do your bathrooms have to be kept clean and looking nice? It is because everyone uses the bathrooms in your house and they make an impression on all your guests. The main floor bathroom says a lot about who you are by the way it is maintained and designed. No homeowner wants their guests to feel uncomfortable coming to their house because of the bathrooms.

Bathroom design and redesigning has become big business now and any trip to a home improvement store will verify that. There is a lot more that can be done now to spruce up your bathroom than just changing the shower curtains. Anyone with the money to spend can rack up a nice bill buying fancy mirrors, designer faucets, designer sinks, and the fanciest bathtubs you can imagine. There are a great number of options a person has when considering a bathroom remodel.

Anytime you set out to do a bathroom remodel, you should remember that the cabinets are one of the most important parts you need to get right. When a person enters your bathroom, the first things they see are your shower curtain (assuming it is pulled closed) and the cabinets. You need to have cabinets that are proportionally the right size for the bathroom and are the right color as well. You can always buy custom made cabinets if you dont like the ones for sale in your local stores.

Bathroom mirrors are not all the same and you don't have to have a standard one. Especially in the guest bathroom on the main floor, a special mirror may be just the design element you need. In that guest bathroom, there will be no shower and people will not need a big mirror as they might in the other bathrooms of the house. This leaves room for you to come up with some fun bathroom mirror ideas that add a special touch to the bathroom that all your guests will see. You can get mirrors in all sizes, shapes, and styles and you can pick one that goes well with the other things in the bathroom. People love to look at mirrors (and themselves in mirrors) so a fun mirror will get your guests talking.

The colors you choose for your bathroom need to work well with everything else. Dark colors are usually not too good because a dark bathroom is not as functional as a bright one. You need colors that look cheery and go well with the theme of the bathroom but they dont necessarily have to match the colors in the rest of the house. Color wise, each room in your house can have its own colors and personality and that applies to the bathrooms as well.

The ultimate bathroom retreat is not complete without a bidet or better yet....a hand bathroom bidet sprayer. The hand sprayer gives you superior control and water volume and if the bathroom was not designed to allow for a bidet(the majority of them) it offers the convenience of installation on the existing toilet AND you don't have to get up and move every time! You will pay for it many times over in toilet paper savings which also makes this a very green thing to do. Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com.
