2013 Bathroom Trends – Top Ten Bathroom Updates For The New Year

Seasons come and go and design trends change right along with them. So even if you’re in the habit of updating your home regularly, last year’s words of wisdom usually don’t still apply.

Weathered Wood Bathroom Vanities For A Cottage Style Bathroom

There are many ways to add rustic, cottage-style charm to a bathroom, but there’s none better than using natural, weathered wood.
