WORLD’S GREATEST BATHROOM

It’s a fact… sorry.  I just remodeled my bathroom and it is now the world’s greatest (just ask me!)

Not only is my dream bathroom a reality, it is more functional, has more storage and increases my home’s value.  Win–win-win!

Here’s why I crowned my new bathroom “World’s Greatest”:

My designer helped me pick out the perfect porcelain tile.  Porcelain tile is one of the best tile materials available for a shower surround.  Not only because it is a non-porous material that withstands moisture, but because it comes in such gorgeous variety of sizes, colors and textures.  The new tile installed with a jazzy decorative border makes a sophisticated statement in my new shower.

Since it’s so beautiful, we selected a frameless glass shower-door to increase the space which makes it feel larger and more open.  The glass panels are supported by hinges (instead of the metal frames my old one had.)

New Layout

A new space layout suggested by my designer cleverly made better use of existing footage.  We are now the proud owners of separate his & hers vanities.  I (finally) have my own bath cabinets and sink!  Never again having to rinse away my husband’s residual toothpaste or shaving cream before I can use it.  Our designer also helped me personalize my cabinetry by including some enviable features.

Thanks to genetics, I always have to blow dry and style my hair after bathing.  Now I have a convenient cabinet pull-out installed next to the sink that houses my blow dryer and curling iron already plugged into an outlet added to the back of the pull-out.  No more untangling cords and constantly pulling out and putting away these necessary beauty tools.  I’m in heaven!  We also lost the thrill of viewing my husband’s countertop-cluttering shaver and electric toothbrush.  Instead of being out-on-display, the charging cords are tucked away accessible via a pull-up cabinet door in the new counter tower cabinet.

Did I mention the advantages of our wall-mounted faucets?  Having the fixtures installed in the wall helps clear-out the visual jumble behind the sink.  The new modern fixture cleanly juts out from the wall – making the ubiquitous faucet look like it’s floating, as well as making my amazing new counter-top look ridiculously luxurious.

Can a newly remodeled bathroom create a sense of personal inner-peace while at the same time creating envy in my overly competitive sister-in-law?  Yes and yes!  I may never leave this bathroom.
