Here's a beautiful tub that would definitely make it easy to relax after a long day!  The freestanding Savoy tub, from MTI Whirlpools, has a raised backrest and is contoured vertically, horizontally, and diagonally to cradle the "body" as the user leans back.

The tub's solid surface is made of organic minerals and bonding agents, designed to look and feel like natural stone. It also can be converted into an air bath when used with a pedestal base. Available in white or biscuit matte finishes or white, biscuit, osprey (brown), or raven (black) gloss finishes, designing a bathroom with this tub in mind would be easy.

Wood tiles have been a popular choice in creating a retro-design for those restoring older homes.  Flux Studios Fortis Arbor wood mosaic tiles are made using bamboo scraps and are assembled with low-VOC adhesives making it a 'green' solution for a bathroom or kitchen remodel. 

Wood tiles handcrafted from solid bamboo, teak and rosewood can be used in virtually any interior application with limited water exposure.  Fortis Arbor Wood Mosaic Tiles, are a great alternative to the usual ceramic tiles.  Each tile is cut by hand, and the materials are harvested through partnerships with furniture makers in which Flux Studios collects off-cuts and cast-off wood pieces.  Fortis Arbor Grout was developed specifically to move with the natural expansion and contraction of Fortis Arbor wood tiles. It allows for maximum performance and easy installation of wood tiles.

Humidity Sensor Ventilation Fan

Ever forget to turn on the bathroom vent fan before taking a hot shower?  I have and then trying to finish getting ready in the humidity is not such an enjoyable experience.  Today we're sharing a ventilation fan that does the remembering for you!

The WhisperControl humidity and temperature sensor anticipates condensation and automatically turns on the Panasonic ventilation fan. Unlike traditional sensors, which turn fans on in response to a rapid rise in humid air and therefore could cause them to switch on unnecessarily in certain climate zones, the maker says, this wall-mounted unit detects hot air and humidity based on dew point. The two models—the FV-WCCS1 and the FV-WCCS2—feature a blue LED light and a manual on/off switch and come in white or almond; the FV-WCCS2 also includes a manual on/off light switch.

This is a simple solution and makes a big difference in a humid bathroom.  So if you have a pet peeve about getting ready in a humid bathroom, we suggest you considering this smart product that does the remembering for you.  It would make your morning routine a tad bit more comfortable.

If you are considering replacing your old cabinets for newer cabinets... take a look at this first.

The Cinnabar wet glaze finish by Decora can be painted over existing cabinets.  It works with wood’s natural beauty to expose variation in tone while highlighting the natural texture. The warm reddish-brown glaze shades darker on bold wood such as alder and appears lighter on cherry and maple, a variety that can provide a unique accent to a room or work as a neutral complement to a variety of room elements. The glaze is shown here on Willshire maple cabinets alongside the Bombay island.

So if you want a fresh new look in your bathroom or kitchen, maybe think about refurbishing your old cabinets first, before replacing them.  Give us a call and we'll give you our experienced option on whether this is a good idea for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel.

Modern Sleek Bathtub by WetStyle

This modern square design may not be your first choice in a bathroom remodel, or it might just be perfect!  Opinions aside, this collection is no doubt, eye-catching.  The pictured bathtub is just one piece in the Cube collection by WetStyle offered in a glossy or matte white finish. 

This model rests on a base, displays 4 distinct sides, and its design features slender edges and straight lines.  Its outer dimensions are more compact than the other pieces in the collection, but its narrow, flat edges allow for a roomy interior.  It's so spacious, that two users can completely submerge their bodies when bathing and each have their own backrest.  Pretty comfy! 

Being 'square' really is quite elegant! It would be very exciting to see this piece used in one of our bathroom remodels.  If this style is what you've been looking for, give us a call and let's start designing a bathroom remodel incorporating this sleek modern theme.
