European homes are much smaller than your average American one – their cities are, typically, more densely populated, with compact buildings and not a whole lot of sprawl. And that’s made European designers very, very good at making the most of small spaces. So if you happen to have an uncomfortably small bathroom and aren’t […]
My one and only bathroom is small enough that, anywhere but an apartment, it would barely qualify as a guest bathroom. There’s just enough room for a vanity, a toilet, a small shower/tub combo, and, with a little finesse, a tiny trashcan. My bathroom vanity is 24″, which is the smallest standard size, but still […]
For a long time now, the quality of the average piece of furniture has been steadily declining. As newer, less expensive materials have become readily available and more widely accepted, solid wood furniture has sort of fallen by the wayside. But in the past year or so, natural wood has started to come back in […]
White is the traditional color of cottage style bathrooms, from pedestal sinks to beadboard to subway tile. But lately the classic white-on-white bathroom has been falling a bit out of favor. If it isn’t done just right, too much white can make a bathroom feel sterile and too bright, especially if you don’t have a […]
For truly tiny bathrooms, a lot of the conventional wisdom about small bathroom storage goes right out the window. If you don’t have room for shelves or a place to put an organizer, you have to make the most of the furniture you’ve got.

So personalization and flair have to come […]
Bathroom vanities come in all sizes, shapes, and styles, but some features are much more difficult to find than others. Solid wood bathroom vanities, for example, have become increasingly rare as use of particleboard and MDF has become more common. Unfinished bathroom vanities are all but unheard of, and are only really available from select […]
Nothing about remodeling a bathroom is easy, but anything involving rerouting plumbing is an especially big headache. Even slightly repositioning your pipes can be expensive and invasive – a hassle that’s worth avoiding if you can help it. This can present a significant problem if you want to rearrange the major fixtures in your bathroom. […]
There are lots of ways to make a master bathroom feel more luxurious and opulent: natural stone floors, decorative bathroom vanities, and high-end fixtures. But the best way to make a bathroom look more relaxing, elegant, and enticing is both simpler and more affordable: treat your bathroom like you would any other room in your […]
Traditional bathroom vanities are a dime a dozen; even across different brands, they tend to be fairly similar in design, with floral or scalloped shell woodworking and maybe some decorative feet and antique hardware, with very little flair or innovation. To get a really elaborate, ornate look, you need to go a step further and […]
