We are fortunate to have two bathrooms, one that was supposed to be for the boys and Chris, and one that was supposed to be for me and Kaitlyn. I use my bathroom shelves to store all my hair and skin products, makeup, hairdryer, etc., but I never use the shower and rarely use the toilet. Why? Well partly because the water pressure going to that bathroom is so bad, that showering is like having a garden hose trickled over your head, and the toilet, well, it’s not good to use it too much since it barely has any water going into it.
Also, the sink is marble on top which is nice, but the previous owners left a big sticker on it with the cleaning instructions that won’t come off without scratching the marble. And the faucet handles are clear acrylic but over the decades, mildew has built up in them and I can’t clean them out. I know. Eww.
So, I’ve been browsing sites looking at new Bathroom Suites. A “suite” refers to a complete collection for the bathroom- bathtub, toilet, sink, faucets, and the tap handles. If we could fix the problem with the pipes and actually get the water pressure up, I would definitely want to do some remodeling. A site like betterbathrooms.com would be a great way to start, to give me design ideas. I’m sure a lot has changed in bathroom furniture since this house was built in 1959, which is when I’m pretty sure the existing sink, tub, and toilet were purchased.
What about you, readers? Are you planning any remodeling projects this Spring or Summer?

ok 1959 is a looong time… there seems to be a need for a remodeling of your bathroom. they also have some nice pices that look great. when you finished your bathroom I would like to see some pictures. We sell design furniture here in germany and are allways interested in good design ideas.
I’m planning to remodel my bathroom this spring. It’s not 50 years old like your but probably a good 25 and it’s about time to add a personal touch to it.
We have just remodeled our bathroom ourselves. My wife is going crazy with our son because he keeps using the decorative towels instead of bringing in his own. Unfortunately, this bathroom has the only shower in the house so we all have to share it.
This spring, we are going to start working on the outside landscaping. We’re pretty excited and looking forward to it!
We’re luck enough to have two bathrooms as well, but have the same kind of problem with our shower. The pressure is so low that I actually rarely end up using it even though I prefer showers on the whole. I have a bath in the upstairs bathroom most days, which worries me a bit because I know using alll that water isn’t so good for the environment.
We really need to get a whole new shower, and I am thinking about doing that later this year, but the price is quite high so I’m going to need to save up for a bit first!
I always wanted a coffee table in my bathroom
Few moths ago my friend was looking to rent out his basement since it had both a kitchen and a bathroom. The problem was that his bathroom was old and outdated and was in need of a serious makeover. As you have mentioned, we were able to find really good deal online for bathroom fixtures. Another thing that helped to remain within the original budget was using tile boards instead of ceramic tiles for bathroom and shower walls
It’s hard to remodel or alter our bathroom because it’s so small. If the house is up then that would be the time to some serious bathroom make over. My wife wants a huge cabinet inside the bathroom. I want a flat screen TV infront of the jacuzzi lol.
of all the places in place called home, i am most passionate about bathrooms. a house with good furnitures and stuff but has a poor bathroom is a failure to me. i like putting a lot of things in the bathroom. it makes me feel clean.lol
