A bathroom that needs a facelift!<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Do you have a built in jet tub that you never use? You are not alone.these built in tubs were never comfortable to get in and out of. ( see the before photo of this bathroom below) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">built in tubs were a big trend that is now being replaced with the <span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">beautiful free standing tubs</span> like the one I put into this bathroom update. Its made of one piece of marble! Its a sculpture all by itself!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I remember when I took a marketing class the instructor told us that <span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Nostalgia </span>was one of the many "hooks" used to grab a persons attention. Edison light bulbs give us that cozy Old World feel. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As a single mom searching for her first home in Oakland, California, Carmen Pearson had a few simple requirements: a nice house in a good neighborhood, with an in-law unit to rent and supplement her mortgage. She found what she wanted in a three-bedroom, two-bath house built in 1945 in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="e1c8" name="e1c8" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pearson knew the older home required some remodeling, particularly the master bathroom, which hadn’t been updated since the 1950s. The tub was dented and had rust stains, the sliding glass door was inconvenient for bathing toddlers and the vanity countertop was designed for a kitchen.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="9934" name="9934" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She hired a bathroom-remodel construction company with good ratings and a salesperson who seemed to understand Pearson’s financial concerns. “I was on a tight budget — all my savings had been poured into the down payment,” says Pearson.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="c4c2" name="c4c2" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">But when work started, problems quickly mounted. There was termite damage to repair and outdated pipes that needed replacing. “The sales rep kept pressuring me to do excessive amounts of additional work,” says Pearson.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="e5f5" name="e5f5" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The subcontractor assigned to the remodel gave her a different story. “He told me the honest truth about what really needed to be done, and the actual costs for labor and materials,” says Pearson. She decided to cut out the construction company to work solely with the subcontractor, who delivered realistic results within her budget.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">According to guidelines recommended by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), the budget for a bathroom remodel is typically 5 to 10 percent of the value of the home. If you overspend to add luxury amenities like a steam feature or top-of-the-line fixtures, you’re more likely to get a lower return on the investment. “Your comfort is worth something,” says Maria Stapperfenne, an NKBA certified bathroom designer in northeast New Jersey. “And, you may increase the value with luxury items. But you won’t get it all back in resale value.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This quote from French poet Antoine de Saint-Exupery effectively captures the problem of failing to plan. “Without a plan, you’re wide open for your contractor, electrician or plumber to make a mistake and say, ‘Oops!’” says Patricia Davis Brown, an NKBA certified bathroom designer in Florida. “That’s how costs get out of control. Even a small bathroom could end up being a money pit if mistakes are made.” With a plan in place, if the contractor veers from the plan and makes mistakes, you shouldn’t be charged for a change order, according to Brown.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="3265" name="3265" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You can find basic bathroom remodel checklists and plan templates available free online. If you pay a professional bathroom designer to create a plan for you, the fee for services is typically around 4 percent of your budget, according to Brown, who notes this rate is about what you’d spend for a change order if mistakes are made.</span></div>

<span class="markup--strong markup--p-strong" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: 700;">Flush, Shower And Try Before You Buy</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="26a8" name="26a8" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Inspiration boards and photos in magazines won’t tell you if a handle has an awkward mechanism or the glossy marble is slippery. Stapperfenne calls bathrooms a “tactile experience” — you’re touching fixtures, opening drawers, turning on faucets, your bare feet and other body parts are grazing surfaces and getting submerged in water. Before you buy fixtures or commit to countertop or flooring materials, she recommends going to a home experience center, where homeowners can touch and use everything from towel bars to showers in these showrooms. “They’ll even let you wear a swimsuit and test different showerheads,” says Stapperfenne.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="36f3" name="36f3" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Stapperfenne also notes some trendy bathroom features that look like luxuries may feel awkward or uncomfortable — like overhead rainshower fixtures. “There’s a temporal lobe above your eyebrow and when water hits it from above, it can trigger a blinking reflex,” says Stapperfenne.</span></div>
<div class="graf graf--p graf-after--p" id="43d1" name="43d1" style="--baseline-multiplier: 0.179; --x-height-multiplier: 0.35; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 2; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; -webkit-hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.58; margin-top: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Oversized bathtubs can be problematic, too, according to Brown, who recommends sitting in a bathtub before you buy it. If the tub is too big, and you weigh less than the amount of water you’re floating in (water weighs 8.36 pounds per gallon), you might bob around like a cork when the tub is filled with water.

If a price gives you sticker shock, try “value engineering” details like fixtures or materials to find less-expensive items with a similar look or feel, says Brown. For example: if you love the idea of a Calcutta marble countertop (up to $250 per square foot) look into quartz (approximately $75 per square foot) instead. Brown’s only hard rule on bathroom budgets: Pay more for a better faucet, because inexpensive faucets won’t hold with constant use.</span></div>

The pastel pink Rose Quartz and powder blue Serenity may seem like a sugary sweet selection but according to Pantone, the pairing is in fact part of a more unilateral approach to color—a commentary on the current societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity.</span></div>

Also wiping the slate clean is paint brand Benjamin Moore, who has selected Simply White OC-117 shade as its 2016 Color of the Year while Valspar paint says that its restorative 2016 color palette ‘Comfort Zone’ is an antidote to a ‘fast-paced lifestyle’ and will ‘balance the mind, body and spirit.’</span></div>

the primary use of the space is important to help guide your choices for
function, comfort and form. Are people or things more important in this space?
For example, will you alone be using the space or family and friends too? Is it
to be used as office, dining, den or bedroom space? Does it need to do double
duty as fitness or hobby space?</span></div>

of people simultaneously engaging in different interests may benefit from
greater open wall space to create a more spacious feel amid the ample seating
and surfaces you undoubtedly will need.</span></div>

may wish to minimize furniture if this needs to be a quiet space perhaps for
reading, sleeping or concentrating. Instead, lavish layers of textures to
enhance soundproofing. Natural lighting will soften ambiance.</span></div>

and study the size, shape and layout of the room. Diagram a simple outline on
graph paper, carefully noting anything that breaks up walls, such as closets,
doors, windows, light switches, outlets and thermostats. Enter your
measurements on the graph, make a few copies, and use them to try different
arrangements for furniture and to shop for necessary purchases.</span></div>

how much of other rooms can be seen from inside this one and how much of it is
visible from outside the space so you an make sure it flows with the other
spaces. Whatever its purpose and your style, measuring and knowing what will
fit where will spare you disappointments from having to return or be stuck with
ill-fitting furnishings and coverings.</span></div>

makes big splashes of impact without drowning your dollars. Use the same
background color for mixed textures. Check that hues in the flooring, rugs,
walls, and draperies are compatible. If you do not have an eye for detecting
hues ask a do-it-yourself flooring or wallpaper expert to show you samples of
flooring side-by-side with paint, wallpaper, rugs, and draperies to compare
nuances of color. Start with 3 classic colors, and gradually introduce bold
adventure as your tastes evolve.</span></div>

room has that one detail that is nearly impossible to miss. Fireplaces,
skylights, picture windows, built-in bookcases, or perhaps a unique piece of
furniture or art are common focal points people notice. Build a central theme
around the focal point with details that don't swallow it. Picture the space
decorated during holidays or special occasions when room gets tight around a
Christmas tree or social activity.</span></div>

consider offers of hand-me-down furniture you could re-purpose or refresh with
fresh paint, stain, fabric or trim. Do not, however, let anyone talk their
newly un-hoarded pieces into your space. The ensuing overcrowding will weigh on
your spirit as heavily as pounds weigh on your waistline when you haven't the
heart to refuse homemade treats.</span></div>

determine your range of options and influence your choices but costs need not
be prohibitive. Don't stray too far from your budget, though, so you can get
closer to your decorating dream. Closely followed, a decorating plan frees up
funds to save for rainy days and new decorating projects.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its hard to believe that<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;"> Thanksgiving </span>is right around the corner… but yes it is! Here are some inspiring table settings that can help make your day more festive. Go out into the yard and pluck branches, bring moss and whatever is blooming in. A few votive candles and wallah… you have set a table with magic. Most importantly enjoy those seated at your table.</span></div>

In the English tradition, days of thanksgiving and special thanksgiving religious services became important during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Reformation" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="English Reformation">English Reformation</a> in the reign of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a> and in reaction to the large number of religious holidays on the Catholic calendar. Before 1536 there were 95 Church holidays, plus 52 Sundays, when people were required to attend church and forego work and sometimes pay for expensive celebrations. The 1536 reforms reduced the number of Church holidays to 27, but some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puritan" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Puritan">Puritans</a> wished to completely eliminate all Church holidays, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Christmas">Christmas</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Easter">Easter</a>. The holidays were to be replaced by specially called Days of Fasting or Days of Thanksgiving, in response to events that the Puritans viewed as acts of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_providence" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Divine providence">special providence</a>. Unexpected disasters or threats of judgement from on high called for Days of Fasting. Special blessings, viewed as coming from God, called for Days of Thanksgiving. For example, Days of Fasting were called on account of drought in 1611, floods in 1613, and plagues in 1604 and 1622. Days of Thanksgiving were called following the victory over the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Spanish Armada">Spanish Armada</a> in 1588 and following the deliverance of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Anne, Queen of Great Britain">Queen Anne</a> in 1705.

In 1976, while Johnny Grey was still in architecture school, he cooked up a “punk Gothic” kitchen for a friend. It was the opening salvo in his war on cookie-cutter kitchens. With encouragement from his aunt, the renowned cookbook author and shopkeeper Elizabeth David, he designed what he calls “sociable kitchens” and promoted the principles that make them work. Today considered one of the world’s most influential kitchen experts, Mr. Grey, 63, estimates that he has produced more than 500 kitchens, and his company, in Hampshire, England, takes on about 20 projects a year. A recent example — a pool house with cooking capabilities in Cambridge, England — piqued our interest during these dog days of summer. (This interview has been edited and condensed.)</div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">Q. A pool house-slash-kitchen is a surprising combo. Aren’t you supposed to wait an hour after eating before going in the water?</span></div>

They had been crafted in California to a Japanese farmhouse design, shipped here in kit form and built out of Douglas fir. When my clients wanted to add a pool house, they went back to the same company and ordered another building. They asked me to do all the interior design. I had the idea of putting in some kind of kitchen.</span></a></aside><div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="89" data-total-count="1859" itemprop="articleBody" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 135px; max-width: 540px; width: 540px;">

The bottom is cast concrete that cantilevers out into a counter with an induction hob. The organic shape was inspired by woodland mushrooms — it’s meant to look like it’s growing out of the floor. There were a few exciting moments installing it.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I used a grape color on one wall to offset the bold mustard sofa. Using a strong (but not too strong) paint color makes the room visually balanced. If just the sofa had color, your eye would stop at the sofa. The grape color picked up in the throw pillows also helps to keep your eye traveling around the room. When choosing paint colors <span style="font-size: x-large;">have FUN…</span> you can always repaint.</span><br />

What’s on your walls? Like many people, Deen and Julie Cummings didn't pay too much attention to art. They appreciated paintings and sculptures in museums, but never considered investing in original pieces themselves. They hung two sentimental paintings up in their home and filled other blank walls with colorful, framed pieces.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
She asked them to spend time looking at quality art and then find works that evoke emotions and reflect their taste. Rather than matching art to the sofa, she said, the decor would be inspired by the hues, style and mood of the art.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Now, after successful purchases on a budget, the Cummings have contemporary abstracts to talk about in almost every room of their house and they plan vacations around visiting art museums.</div>

Deen says it's fun to shop for art. Julie says it's easier and less expensive than she expected.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
“I didn't realize that I could afford a piece of quality art until we were introduced to several galleries and we connected with individual pieces,” says Julie who, with Deen, own private career colleges. “Purchasing artwork does not need to break the bank.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Fun? Easy? Inexpensive? Really?<br />
Buying art can be daunting. Rococo to Russian Impressionism? Who wants to be judged by a steely eyed art dealer or feel pressure to buy in a split second? It's no wonder most people decorate their house and then take on the difficult task of trying to find art to match the furnishings, a reverse order that makes artists and designers wince. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
But Jaynes and other experts shrug off the anticipated fear factor. Art, you see, is the soul of a home and requires your attention.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
“Art is the most dynamic tool for personalizing your space,” says Jaynes. “Art pieces send a powerful message about who you are and what you want to communicate about yourself.”</div>
