There are many things you can do and many places you can go to get your home looking more fresh and modernized. I will explore many of those options here for you.



A) Go to your local bed and bath store and purchase the most beautiful shower curtain you can find. Do not focus on price, FOCUS ON QUALITY. This is a very important element. except for the floors, it is the most visible item your guest will see. EVERYTHING rests on the shower curtain. If it costs more than you have budgeted for, save money someplace else. Keep in mind that quality does not mean loud or flashy. The shower curtain can be very simplistic in style. Quality means that after many showers it will still look new and fresh years from now.

(1) Walk-in tubs are a necessity, not a luxury. If you are in the home you hope to stay in, a walk-in tile over tub (or a slide-in or transition tub) is, without question, the single most important "first step" to being able to achieve independent living.

One end of the claw foot reglazing tub is rounded and the other is squared off. The rounded end is the end at which the bather would sit, whirl the faucet is placed at the square end. The vintage tub allows for the moist options being available.

Just as you do when you have a fine rug, you should try to keep family or guests from eating or drinking anything in the room that could cause a serious stain in the event of a spill. But even in the most careful homes, stains to a hardwood floor are inevitable. First of all, clean up the spill quickly before the substance has a chance to stain the wood itself.

Bathtub reglazing is an affordable alternative to replacing an old bathtub with a new one. Contractors usually charge $1,600 to $2600 to install a new bathtub and tile the walls. You may also want to consider doing your shower, sinks, and countertops. You can restore these surfaces and have the color changed if you like. A variety of colors are available, so you won't be limited with your decor. Cast iron, porcelain, and fiberglass bath tub restoration can all be done.

You will then need to sand the entire surface and remove any chips, scratches, or nicks if you can. Palm sanders are easy to use and will make your tub smooth so that you'll have a good surface to refinish. Wear a mask while sanding. Keep in mind that how well you sand the tub is going to have a big impact on what your tub will look like after refinishing.

Any type of free-standing bathtub will add a focal point to your bathroom. Instead of being tucked into corners, these tubs were built to be almost works of art. If you'd prefer to have a brand new tub, you will find many reproductions that should do the job for you. However, if you want a truly Victorian look and feel, a vintage tub is the way to go.
