Bathrooms That Satisfy Our Desire for Minimalism

We have always loved modern design and are drawn to minimalism. Because we live in an apartment and have a very small bathroom, we dream of the day we can take a shower in a larger bathroom. Minimal bathrooms are architecturally beautiful, but we wonder where we would store our multitude of products and bath linens.

Not Too Ugly Bathroom Fans

031610_bathfans01.jpgLet’s discuss bathroom fans. Though not a very sexy addition to the bath, it is likely to be an essential one. The problem is most fans are either extremely ugly or institutionally boring. Granted, fans serve a purpose and don’t have to be show stoppers, but can they be moderately tasteful?

Quick, Easy and Cheap Updates For Your Kitchen

031610-kitchen.jpgNot much we can do in our kitchen; it's a rental. Plus we're kinda lazy. If we undertake a big project, we know it'll never get completed. So we like to keep it small and simple...and cheap! When we saw Laure's post the other day on 10 (almost free) ways to spruce up the bathroom it got our minds working. Here are some equally easy and cheap things we've done and some things we're thinking about doing in our kitchen!

Bed Linen Finds: Presentation For Your Bedroom
Roundup

As we were cleaning the bedroom the other day, we noticed that we could really use some new bedding. The pillows were flat, the sheets were faded, and there wasn't anything inviting about the bed presentation. The bedroom is the first room you see in the morning and the last room you see before you retire for the night. Therefore, it should receive attention and be a place that is relaxing and comfortable. It is time to stop putting off the inevitable and purchase new bed linens.

5 Tips for Kitchen Displays

We have a couple of glass cabinets in our kitchen which give us the opportunity to display some of the things we use most often. And because it is the kitchen and space is always at a premium, we can't just make it decorative, it must be practical too. Here are some of the rules we follow when putting together a display.

And we also learned some things we wish we hadn't. Be prepared to be grossed out!

Shower Rods
Roundup

This morning as we stepped out of the shower, the tension shower rod we purchased a month ago suddenly gave way and fell to the ground. We blamed it on the fact that we only forked over $10 for the shower rod. We're now rethinking our purchase and have started scouring the web for a more permanent option.

Stock Up On Windex: Mirrored Bathroom Vanity

031510_bathroomMirror01.jpgSpotted this in the latest issue of Vogue Living: Rather than a traditional vanity made of wood for her bathroom, Betsy Morgan opted for a more glamorous option. Her mirrored vanity with its Anthropologie drawer pulls picks up the shine from her chrome-edged shower and fixtures, giving her 1850s bathroom an updated look without compromising its vintage charm.
