Do you have a couple of rooms upstairs away from everyone that is being used for storage? Want to do something different and have a place to relax. I have some ideas that might help you with your new project.
Put a large sliding glass door between the two rooms. In one corner, two steps up set your extra large tub. How about add a skylight in the ceiling to let in the daylight during the day and the stars at night. Don’t forget to add mirrors around you tub with lots of candles on the ledge. Candles are so pretty reflecting off the mirrors. Maybe you might want more light so put one or two fancy light fixtures on one wall or in the ceiling.
If you have a large bathroom, why not install a fireplace on the opposite side of your glass. A fireplace will add more of a romantic and relaxing sensation to your rooms. On the ledge add some more candles and maybe put a picture over them to go with your theme.
Always chose a theme before you start your new project. Having a theme will help you to choose your colors and the mood you want to have when enjoyed your time.
You can also install a large cabinet at the end of your sink. Set a microwave and mini-fridge in it. You’ll need something to keep that wine cold while your relaxing.
Have another space in the extra bathroom. Set a chair in it to sit while putting on your lotions. You’ll want a lot of lotions and oils along with some smelly bubbles to help you relax and set the mood you are in. Remember they should all be the same scent so that the smells all drift from one room to the next.
When choosing your carpet be sure to get a natural color you might want to chance you color later on and not the carpet. The sink, counter, stool and tub should all match too but try not to have the same colors as your flooring. To much of one color will make the your room dull and not exciting to be in. It will also make you depressed sometimes if everything is the same color. So, mix and match. When choosing your tile make sure it is small maybe 1×1. The small the tile the less change you have of slipping when getting out of the tub and down the steps.
Like to read and relax at the same time. Set a basket near the chair and lay some outdated magazines in it. Get yourself a bath pillow to fit one end of the tub and a magazine pour in the bubble with a glass of wine and read. Sound cozy doesn’t it.
Be creative when organizing your new bathroom. Set a plant on a stand or even one corner of your tub. With the skylights, they will get enough sunlight and the moisture is good for them too.
Have more space and don’t know what to do with it. Put a towel rack in to put those entire special and fancy towel and washcloths you have in the cupboard. Fancy towels always make a person feel special along with all the oils and bubbles.
Once you have all your bath accessories organized and put away get that fancy and comfortable sleepwear you’ve always wanted and use it only when your in your own special rooms.
Putting lotion on and your new sleepwear will make the final relaxation come to and you can then sit back and enjoy the new you.

Bathroom Accessories That Make You Relax
November 29th, 2009How to Choose Bathroom Accessories and Bathtubs
November 15th, 2009Most homes have more than one bathroom so you may want to make one room a special bathroom with a bathtub that fits your needs.
There are many kinds of bathtubs. Therefore, you may want to get a proposal done so you know that the bathtub will work to fit your needs. This way it won’t be a waste of time and money. You’ll know if it will fit, and whether you will have to redo the tub. In some instances, bathrooms are the smallest rooms in the house so you may want to make the bathtub work for that room. If not maybe, you will want to add onto the room to make it larger so that the bathtub will work for your needs.
How do I know what size of a bathtub to get?
Bathtubs come in all sizes; small to very large it depends on your needs. You want to consider if you want to use your bathtub for a guestroom, master bath, etc. Bathtubs come in a variety of colors so you can’t decide on what shades to fit your needs, until you explore the texture, tone, and trend of your room.
Should I choose a bathtub or shower and what accessories should I consider?
There are many different reasons that a person would choose a bathtub. I like a tub, since you can relax. Other people would take a shower over a bathtub. However, here are some reasons why you may like a bathtub.
You can use a bathtub to soak your body after long hard day at work. It will help you relax your whole body. Put in some bubbles, maybe play some soft music, and just enjoy it. Maybe you would like to read a book and light a few candles.
A bathtub can give you options, since you can add bathroom accessories, such as flora, candles, toys, etc to fill in the gaps. Bathtubs give you the option of using the arena for other special occasions, i.e. you can add a sauna or hot tub in the tub. In addition, you can give your pet a bath in a tub.
How should I choose a bathtub?
When selecting a bathtub for personal use you want to make sure you consider comfort first. Therefore, the dimension, shape, and deepness are something you want to consider. Maybe you will want to get a bathtub made for two people so you and your spouse can take a romantic bath together, perhaps light some candles, turn on some soft music, etc. Don’t forget to add the bubbles, since it adds a nice touch. You both will enjoy the romantic evening together. Then again, perhaps you just want to melt away the stress alone.
What are the applied sciences?
A person with a smaller frame may not feel comfortable in larger tubs. Perhaps, the person would enjoy a tub that is low rather than unfathomable ones. On the other hand, a larger person may enjoy profundity while soaking in a tub. It really depends on what you are searching to complete.
How do I choose the right size?
The archetypal bathtubs are somewhere around fourteen inches widthwise and somewhere around seventeen inches unfathomable. European baths are available with a depth around eighteen inches. Still, you can find deeper bottoms.
How do I choose design?
Bathtubs are designed and crafted with many types of materials. The china styles for example, make up the stall acrylic and fiberglass. Gel veneers balance the composites of marble and the cast-iron.

Relaxing Bathroom Accessories
September 22nd, 2009Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoying time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use when relaxing in that big garden tub of yours. Lets talk about some of the things that can make your bathing more relaxing and enjoyable.
How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation time. There are many different kinds of tubs out now to fit everyone’s needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, they can be very relaxing too, just add some things around it to make it what you like. Fill up the tub with your favorite smelly bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water and all those bubbles around you make you feel special and important.
How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
Do you like getting romantic in the tub? Try the garden tub it is a good one for small areas and large enough for the second person to join you. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into your floor area. Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is always relaxing to everyone. Turn the music on a good easy listening music channel or insert a CD into it, maybe an mp3 player too. Garden tubs and music is just one type of tub to spice up your day.
When installing a tub for romance and relaxation be sure to think about where you’re going to install it and the sitting around it. Your decor means a lot when you’re trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you’re going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a wall to make a place for the stool and a shower separate from your tub. Putting the sink in the same room with the tub is ok, since you can color and coordinate the colors to both rooms to match the bedroom.
Put mirrors around your tub; box the tub in putting inserts at one end for that glass of wine you might want to have while relaxing. Add candles so when they are lit they can glow into the mirrors. Sounds romantic doesn’t it.
Install Garden tubs with jets in it. Jets are a good way to get that massage you’ve been wanting. Some of them even have heaters connected so your water doesn’t get cold. Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there it can be done so don’t stay in there to long with the jets on they can make you to relaxed. Again, don’t forget to add the mirrors and candles.
Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to dry off and add that lotion you might have for your feet. After relaxing in that tub, you need to smell good afterwards. A little bit of body lotion goes a long way. Match your lotion smells to go with the oil you’ve used to take the smells with you when you’re done. Body lotions are affordable; as well, you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc online to help you save money.
How to find oils, bathtubs, candles, lotions, and more:
Check out the department stores; maybe go on line to check out the candles, lotions, and your oils. Try different smells and enjoy.
