For larger bathrooms, I’d option for built in cabinetry of course. I think that small bathrooms can benefit from types of sinks, certainly.

If possible, keep plumbing in place. Moving water and drain lines will cost much more than if you integrate your new bathtub or vanity with the existing plumbing. This is especially true if you have a slab foundation. 2. Make sure you allow extra space when calculating the fit of your new items. Too many times, people try to fit a 72" clawfoot bathtub into a 72" "rough" space. Paneling, tile, hardy board, V-board etc, all take up space and forgetting to account for that will create a nightmare of returning items and readjusting your plans. 3. Give yourself extra time. If you think it will take 4 weeks, it will likely take 6, remodeling will almost always hit snags of some sort along the way so make sure you are not trying to get your project done just in time for your Thanksgiving guests to enjoy.

There's nothing worse than ripping out your old sink or toilet only to find out the new one was damaged in shipping and you're going to have to wait for a replacement to arrive.

]]> Comment on Water Fall Faucets by TradeWindsImports http://www.bathroomgetaways.com/blog/water-fall-faucets.html#comment-198 TradeWindsImports Sat, 07 May 2011 00:28:06 +0000 http://www.bathroomgetaways.com/blog/?p=217#comment-198 I love these faucets. I've even seen them with different colors of lights so that it looks like the water is neon blue/green/red. I've also seen square models, but I think the round ones suit most contemporary bathrooms best. I love these faucets.
