0213_gq03a.jpg Q: I wrote in a few months ago about painting my bathroom tile and after all the great comments realized it would be a bad idea. I am now looking at wainscoting over the tile but have no idea where to start. I would leave the tile as-is in the bathtub area because of moisture and water exposure, but cover all the rest. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does it work well for a bathroom? I am looking for some tips and tricks to figure out if this might be my next option. Thanks! More

Having in-unit laundry machines is a luxury right up there with having a dishwasher, a flood of natural light and perhaps parking. When you get a stain, have guests over or just plain need something clean to wear, there's nothing better than being able to do a quick load without having to schelp all your stuff to the laundromat. If you have a little space that you can give up in your bathroom or closet, you might be able to gain a whole laundry area. More

0202_gq03.jpgQ: Since my fiance and I just bought a tiny fixer-upper from my aunt and uncle, we knew that we'd need to make a few adjustments to suit our needs, starting with maximizing the space, especially in the bathroom. Since there is one bathroom in the whole one floor home, we need to make the best of it. There is no storage at all in the bathroom, and that will be a problem, so we were thinking about ditching the tub and just installing a stall shower, BUT we are starting a family soon and we know that a tub is always a plus in any home.

Clean and serene — those are pretty idyllic words for a bathroom. But neat and organized?

013012-toilet.jpg It's not often we talk about the beautiful and stylish good looks of toilet plungers.

While filming promotional videos for Cottonelle with conference attendees at the ALT Conference last week, the issue of which way toilet paper should be hung came up repeatedly. It made me realize that when you're living with someone, little things like this can spark big fights (it happened to me too). So, in the interest of airing this out once again, please first take the survey below and then head below the jump to see the Right Way and enter the wonderful world of TP design.

012712-marthamedicine.jpg Medicine cabinets can only hold so much stuff. The hard part? The stuff you store in them doesn't always really fit well in them.

Sure you can adjust the shelves, but that only does so much. The trick? Add a little metal for some magnetic help! More

Upon hearing this question, our minds probably jump to white. It's a color commonly used in messy areas, given that it allows one to immediately notice dust and grime. But after two years of living in an all-white apartment, I realized that white kitchens and bathrooms also mean constant cleaning since white shows every molecule of dirt. More

2012-SAHMbath1.jpgBathrooms are something of a catch-22 when it comes to remodeling. On one hand, unless it is one solely intended for guests, not many people see it besides you and your family. But on the other hand, since it tends to be the room where contemplation occurs most naturally, thoughts often drift to how much better it could look with a bit of work. When you are remodeling a bathroom with your kids in mind, that bit of work can be mixed with a bit of fun and result in a fresh new space you won't have to worry about for a long time. More
