Many of our friends are in the process of rebuilding their bathroom. We all have our houses built at the same time, it seems that we update at the same time as well. We are not planning remodeling at this time. Last year, we took the wall paper that was in the bathroom since we moved and painted the walls a neutral color. I love what I do because the bathroom look different by switching out the color of towels and rugs. Our vanity and sink are in good shape. We have put a new coat of varnish on the vanity and decided that we did not need to do something else for a few years.
Our friends who live in the house next to us made a complete remodeling job in their bathroom. They have new lighting fixtures, they have put in a new tub surround and a new tile floor. They took their vanity and wants to replace with new vessel bathroom basins called bowls. She saw these bathroom basins at several open houses and she likes how they look. Her husband has no idea because he feels they will go fast fashion and then they will have to replace it again. I had saw some basin bowls and I agree with him. I think they are a trend that will pass quickly.
Our other friends have decided to redo their bathroom because they have twin daughters that are thirteen years. Their daughters are constantly on fight against time in the bathroom. They removed the tub and put in a walk in shower. This gave them room to put in a vanity double bathroom basins. This gives the girls more room to prepare. In addition to the vanity of double basins, the bathroom offers extra storage space for all items that teenagers need. They still have a bath tub in the master bath so that girls can take a bubble bath when they want. The walk in shower is glass, so cleaning is easy. I told our friend to get a squeegee to have in a shower and to get the girls used to use it on the glass each time they are done in a shower. We do thios with ours, and it greatly reduces the cleaning chemicals, we have to use in it.
We laughed that we could make our own open house to present our new bathrooms. It is amazing how much new bathroom basins, tile and paint can change the look of a room. It is also amazing how long it will take again to redo the smallest room in the house.
