オークリー Make your bathroom into a tranquil haven
Make your bathroom into a tranquil haven
Here's a useless statistic for you. The average human being will spend 1.5 years in the bathroom during their lifetime. Some folk may ask, 'Now, how's that possible?' What I want to know is who took the time to work that statistic out in the first place? And オークリー more to the point, why?
But pearls of ラルフローレン ベビー mindless information aside, it is interesting to find out that a room in which we spend a significant amount of time is one that usually gets the least amount of attention when it comes to interiors and renovations.
We tend to make them too small and pokey and pay too little attention to style and detail. I see the most beautiful bathrooms in countless numbers of interior design magazines, yet it's rare that I walk into one in real life. So, I reckon it's グッチ time for a bathroom revolution. Convert that spare room and embrace the world of Italian stone tiles and model mixers! Make it a haven of tranquillity, a place to sink back into a wellearned hot bubble bath after a long arduous day at the office.
With an adequate amount of planning and research and a competent team behind you, you could be on the verge of your dream bathroom yourself. Here's howI know I've said it before, but I can't stress it enough, nail your budget down as tight as シャネル 財布 you can. Obviously, allow for a contingency fee for those unforeseen costs that will most likely crop up. It will look more than a little odd if everything else in your pad marries together perfectly in a minimalist finish, but you decide to go completely mad and put in a Japanesestyle bathroom. Think ahead, and if you're going to make トリーバーチ changes in style, make them subtle.
Check the competition
I wasn't going to mention it, but what the heck. RECESSION. We're in the middle of a big fat one right now, but look on the bright side. Not since the '80s have we been able to haggle like fishwives and not feel guilty about it. So, run with it. Bargain down every tradesman you can. Everyone's fighting for business at the moment, so prices are more accurate now than they ever were.
DIY stores
The likes of Homebase and B have great selections of bathroom suites and accessories. There are some fabulous designs out there that can incorporate both single and double sink units, and provide good storage space for toiletries.
Wet rooms
Previously more common in mainland Europe, wet rooms are starting to take off here. They're ideal if you're tight on space as you don't need to segregate off your showering area from the rest of the room. Remember though, get a plumber who's worth his weight in ティファニー 指輪 gold, as with that amount of water splashing everywhere, you'll need to tightly seal the room.
Centre プラダ piece
All rooms love a centrepiece, and placing the bath in the ニューバランス 996 middle of the room will give it centre stage and a sense of decadence. And who doesn't want a bit of decadence every now and again?Creating a false wall in order to allow a shelf look like クロエ バッグ it was built into the wall can offer a clever storage option as well レイバン サングラス as adding to the design aspect of the room. These little cubby holes/storage shelves can be used for practical items such as towels and toiletries as well as candles and ornaments.

Obama girls to hit teen milestones in White House
Capitol during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in ニューバランス Washington, Monday, Jan. You hardly notice how fast they're growing up, then suddenly big sis is nearly as tall as Mom and the little one is a tween, gently sassing Dad. On the inaugural platform again four years later, a more mature Malia Obama, 14, and Sasha, 11, smiled, sometimes giggled, and chatted with their cousin Avery Robinson as they awaited their father's arrival. Sasha bounced on her feet a bit as if chilly; later at the parade she danced in her seat to the beat of passing drummers. Malia, rivaling her mother's 5 feet 11 inches, looked poised in calfhigh black boots. Like any girls their age, ポールスミス バッグ they whipped out their smartphones in the reviewing stand to take photos. Both daughters appeared relaxed and oblivious to their global TV audience, unaffected by their rare status, unfazed by the fuss over their father. Meanwhile, fashionwatchers were tweeting about the girls' coats in vibrant shades of purple. For the record: Malia wore a J. Crew ensemble, Sasha's was Kate Spade, and first lady Michelle Obama was in a Thom Browne coat with a navy print like a man's silk tie. Such attention to the Obamas' clothes, their Hawaiian vacations, their hair lit up Twitter last week by adding bangs continue as they charge into a time of プラダ turbulence for so many American families: the teen years. In the second term Sasha, who arrived in the White House as a secondgrader, moves on to high school. She Advertisement
expressed her preteen spirit Sunday, when Barack Obama took his official, nonpublic oath of office. After giving Dad a "Good job!" she added a reminder of his flubbed words four years ago. "You didn't mess up," Sasha teased the commander in chief. For Malia, the milestones to come are many be hitting the years when typical teens start driving, dating バーバリーブルーレーベル and applying to colleges. ロレックス デイトナ How normally can any of this go at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? Life in the White House is bound to feel different to a teen than it does to a secondgrader. Sevenyearold Emanuel Coleman's grandmother positioned him on the steps of the National Gallery of Art to watch the swearingin on a giant outdoor screen Monday. Sixteenyearold Colleen Casey isn't so sure. "They have to live トリーバーチ their life in their dad's shadow," said Casey, part of a group of Girl Scout volunteers who came to the inaugural from nearby Woodbridge, Va. "At any given time, half the country hates your father and half the country loves him. It's hard to establish a separate identity." Just last week, the National Rifle Association referred to the Obama daughters in an ad berating their father for opposing a proposal to put armed guards in all schools, while his children ニューバランス get Secret Service protection. And the president's been criticized for sending Sasha and Malia to the private Sidwell Friends School. Even the great stuff the globe, meeting rock stars, mingling with world leaders go to a girl's head. Mrs. Obama says she strives to give the girls a normal life dances, playing basketball, trickortreating, slumber バーバリー parties also to keep them respectful, responsible and downtoearth. There's been lots of speculation that Mrs. Obama, who turns 50 next year, may design her own transformation in the second term, when she'll be freed from worries about her husband's reelection. Will the first lady who dubbed herself "mominchief" add to her portfolio of familycentered causes? The White House isn't yet saying. Some feminists want to see the Harvard シャネル バッグ Law School grad take on a more forceful public role. Not all her fans are so sure. "I ニューバランス 574 like the roles she's taken on with troops, with health, with children," said W. Faye Butts, 68, an enthusiastic Obama supporter who traveled from Macon, Ga., for the inaugural.
