A friend bought an oil-heated house last fall and bunkered down for winter with the somewhat dreaded knowledge that winter would be cold, dreary and expensive; she was paying about $200/month to heat a small, 3-bedroom house. When winter started to surrender to spring and it began to warm up outside, she thought that her oil expenses were temporarily going to diminish. But even into the summer months, she was still spending close to $100 on oil without heating the house at all >>>...
There are plenty of ways to save water in the shower without making it a group shower. You can rescue our planet's water and also rescue your wallet when your utilities bill arrives.
You might consider some cute water saving gadgets to let you know when to stop showering to save water >>>...
Nobody deserves having to suffer a wimpy shower. Last year, it felt like my shower head wasn't even trying anymore. In the morning when my eyes don't open and my throat is scratchy, I am counting on my shower to get me exhilarated and fresh to face the day >>>...
Do you have a really old, crusty, gross shower head? Or maybe just one that's jut okay, but doesn't really give you the kind of shower you enjoy? If you're putting off replacing it because you don't want the hassle of calling a plumber, you're in luck. Swapping out shower heads is one of the easiest jobs in the bathroom. Even if you've never done it before, it shouldn't take more than half an hour, start to finish, to do >>>...
I'll be the first person to admit my love affair with hot water. I love a long shower or a good soak probably just that much more than your average joe, and I'm thrilled by every new big kid bath toy that comes along. I'm especially excited about hydrotherapy shower panels, which are fast becoming both prevalent and affordable >>>...
You know the saying- Outdoor showers, May flowers. Or maybe that's not quite how it goes, but it's definitely getting to the season for outdoor living. That means not just eating and playing outside but cleaning up, too >>>...
It's shower week here on homethangs, and today I want to talk a little bit about shower doors. Now, there are plenty of reasons you might prefer a shower curtain to a glass shower door, but if you want a sleek, sophisticated looking bathroom, and especially if you want your bathroom renovation to add value to your home, you really can't beat shower doors for style - or as a long-term investment. Depending on the scope of your project, it can even be worth replacing your existing shower door to update your look >>>...
We spend a lot of time here on homethangs talking about big, luxurious dream bathrooms, the sprawling kinds of remodels you'd see on TV or in a magazine. But not everyone has a bathroom big enough to accommodate all the luxuries of a designer bathroom, or even one with enough space for a separate tub and shower. That's why I want to take a little time to talk about bathtub shower combinations, and how to get one you'll really enjoy, that will look good, and that'll last you a long time >>>...
Today I want to talk a little bit about shower walls, or, more specifically, the underloved, unappreciated shower stall. Now, I'll admit that I understand the relative absence of shower stall style shower walls on design shows or what have you. If you have a big budget, you're probably going to have the shower tiled, and if you don't have a lot of space, you'd probably opt for a bathtub shower combo >>>...
If my TV is to be believed, everyone and their mother is doing a massive dream bathroom renovation as we speak. But if that last episode of Bang For Your Buck left you green with envy and your bank account white with fear, you might still be able to get the luxury bathroom remodel you want without having to sell off your firstborn. How? There are a lot of ways, but one of my favorite is the steam shower >>>...
