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

Save Money For A Cheap Bathroom Renovation

By Chris Carr


If you are thinking of tackling a bathroom renovation on the cheap, planning is the key to a successful outcome. Gather as much information as possible on all the fitting and fixtures available on the market and their price. To create a relaxing, calming and functional bathroom will require some planning. It is not an easy room to renovate but cheap bathroom renovations are possible with a little thought. To create a nice bathroom environment cheaply will essentially come down to choosing the right fixtures that will blend with a good colour scheme. By shopping around, you may be able to select the lighting, fixtures and accessories from one supplier as a package deal. The design of you bathroom will be determined by the space available for the renovation. Bathroom fittings and fixtures are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes and prices, therefore you need to make sure that you've allowed enough in the budget to ensure the project doesn't cause you any financial hardships.

To create a pleasant bathroom environment cheaply will largely be dependent on choosing the right fixtures that will blend with a good colour scheme. If you are lucky, you may be able to select the lighting, fixtures and accessories from one supplier as a package deal. The design of you bathroom will be determined by the area that is available for the renovation. Bathroom fittings and fixtures are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes and prices, therefore you need to make sure that you've allowed a budget to suit your requirements thus ensuring the project doesn't cause you any financial difficulties.

The choice of a vanity basin may be confusing; there are many styles available so you have an option to select the one that would best suit the area in which it is to be placed. Choosing a pedestal style vanity as opposed to a cabinet under the sink may suit the bathroom better. A free standing vanity sink will have modern stylish look to the bathroom. If careful thought is given to the vanity it may become the focal point in the bathroom. Deciding to place bathtub in the room may depend on your budget or whether there is just room have a shower stall in the bathroom. If the room allows for both, it is a smart move to keep an eye out for any sales at the local hardware store. Sometimes they have seconds or an order hasn't been picked up by a customer and selling them out at a reduced price.

If space if of a premium in the bathroom that your are renovating, then storage may become a problem. A recessed cabinet on the wall for storage of shaving gear and deodorants etc is an easy option and most affordable. Storage under the vanity is another facility for linens if there isn't space to have a linen closet. Screwing shelves to a blank wall will give you more space also for towels etc.

If you are planning a bathroom renovation project with minimal space to work with, then you will need to consider cabinets and storage units. A recessed cabinet in the wall or a tall slim cabinet that will fit into a small area are excellent options, as are shelved screwed to the wall which is a perfect area for stacking towels etc.

Painting the walls a bright bold colour will be complimented by new towels and new curtains on the window. If the tap wear is still in good working order, then maybe a good clean and polish is all they will need and this in turn will save you money.

It is an excellent idea to install a ceiling exhaust fan. This draws moisture out of a small room and eliminates the chance of mould appearing. Correct lighting is important. If there is a large mirror over the vanity then a few LED lights are reasonably affordable and relatively easy to install and would look classy. It is essential that all electrical wiring is behind a wall to eliminate any moisture creeping into it. Bathroom remodeling offers elegance and enjoyment to any type of house and raises the value of your residence if you thinking of selling your home in the future.

If there is a toilet in the existing bathroom, you may wish to expand by moving the toilet to a cubicle on its own, thus giving more room in the actual bathroom. There is software available to assist you to prepare for this project and many ideas and tip are available in home renovation magazines.
