Resources on Bathroom Remodeling & Design

Personalizing Your Bathroom
If you are inspired by photographs of beautiful personalized bathroom remodeling and redecorating, than this site is for you. The photos on this site speak for themselves. Start with hand-pained flowers starting above the bathroom mirror and then flowing down the walls. Next is a faux finish cabinet, followed by details of the flower designs and examples of the flow designs used to cover the towel closet and a beautiful niche. The designs are intended to inspire you into finding ways to liven up and beautify your bathroom with a little paint, a little time and possibly a little skill. It would be possible for a less talented artisan to achieve a similar effect using modern stencils. Get inspired—let your mind flow!

Bathroom Remodeling Architectural Plans
A sample bathroom-remodeling project is outlined with room drawings and accompanying text to depict the transformation. The moderately sized sample bathroom has insufficient closet space, particularly accessible for guests to access for personal, bathroom amenities. A dimensioned and annotated floor plan in a line drawing of interior space is included. The remodeling project includes chopping the lavatory countertop in half and installing in a bathroom closet. The plan is modified to obtain maximum bathroom space, and the next phase takes place. An angled lavatory is explored, but the final product included moving the toilet, adding a closet and shifting a bathroom wall.

Vintage Bathroom
This site details do-it-yourself vintage bathroom décor and provides articles on bathroom remodeling and makeovers. Many design trends first made popular in the 1920s are back in vogue and stronger than ever. For example, the cottage-style home, a blend of farmhouse and bungalow that is best defined by the simple clean lines of the 1920s, has enjoyed resurgence in popularity in recent years. The American Furniture Manufacturers Association has identified cottage style as a popular new direction for home furnishings. The cozy cottage look speaks to consumers who are seeking comfortable, easy-to-live-with styling.
