Anatomy of a Remodel -- A Multi-Part Series
It all starts with dissatisfaction.Your bathroom is too small.It doesn't have enough storage.The tiles are salmon pink or baby blue.
The floor is so old you think that Grandpa must have installed it.No matter what you do the tub never
looks clean.You can't get the
mold out of the grout even with bleach. Next comes the dreaming.You imagine a bathroom that is beautiful and peaceful.You walk into it at the end of the day
and you are transported to another world where all the exhaustion of the day
just melts away. And dreaming is where it all begins. Dreaming is the first
step in creating a bathroom you can love forever. Can't picture your dream bathroom in your head? Then go down
to down your local library and do some research.Check out some picture books and copy pages that you
love.Rip pages out of
magazines.Print pages from
websites like KitchenBathIdeas.
Visit bath showrooms and ask if you can take pictures. Use all of these images to
build your dream bathroom book.
