Adding a second sink is starting to show up on a lot of kitchen to-do lists. It's one of those features that you probably wouldn't even think to want if you hadn't heard of it before, but makes so much sense when you do. Having a second sink, whether a small prep sink or a second full sized one, can solve a whole host of common kitchen annoyances >>>...
In many cultures around the world and throughout history, bathing has been a ritualistic act. A bath cleanses impurities and calms the spirit. Immersing oneself in water can feel exhilarating beyond belief >>>...
A steam bath is not the same thing as a sauna. Each has their ups and downs, but both are therapeutic and medicinal. The steam room is the one where the heat is carried on thick clouds of mist emitted from steam heads, and although it might feel more intense than a sauna at first, it is actually a little bit cooler >>>...
Major bathroom remodels are never cheap, and redoing a big bathroom is even more expensive. But if you find yourself on a tight budget, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice quality, or even the scope of your project, to get the job done. For anything you might want to buy, chances are there's a whole range of similar items in different price ranges >>>...
Birds are beautiful in a garden, or just outside your windows. They can make lovely song, and they eat bugs who make less lovely sights and sounds. So it's worth a little effort to attract them to you, with bird feeders, bird baths, and bird houses >>>...
I think that heat+water is possibly the best combination ever devised, excluding the summer in the deep south. Other than that, you name it - hot baths, hot showers, steam baths, saunas, hot springs - and I love it. I'm not alone, either >>>...
At a first glance, modern bathroom vanities might look rather simple - even more than a little bit similar. But despite sharing a similar aesthetic, modern bathroom vanities actually offer a surprisingly diverse array of features. From innovative and customizable designs to small details that stand out against a stark, minimalist aesthetic, modern bathroom vanities are more diverse than you might think >>>...
Traditionally double bathroom vanities are only an option for larger bathrooms. At a minimum, most models clock in at a hefty 60" wide, which is about - you guessed it - twice as wide as your average single vanity, and they can easily span twice that width. But while big double bathroom vanities are great for fleshing out a large bathroom, not all bathrooms have room for such a hefty piece of furniture >>>...
Though almost all living rooms have one, coffee tables aren't often used as a visual focal point. On the one hand, this is a very strange thing, since coffee tables occupy primo real estate: they're placed literally right in the center of the room. At the same time, though, coffee tables fall firmly in the realm of practical furnishings - they're used for setting down drinks and food, displaying magazines, or as a resting place for remotes or sometimes feet >>>...
The difference between a kitchen that looks good and a kitchen that looks great isn't how you decorate the space, it's how you light it. Even the best designed kitchens feel lackluster with inadequate lighting, while a few stylish, well-placed lights can make even an ordinary kitchen come alive. And, of course, good lighting plays a role in how well you can see while you're working >>>...
