Comfortably Snug

Feeling cramped in the bathroom? Um, check the medicine cabinet. I’m sure there’s something in there that can help.

Oh, you mean it’s your bathroom itself that feels cramped? Here’s some advice. First of all, get rid of that full-size tub/shower combo. It’s a major space hog. Also, is there anything that contributes to crampage more than a soffit? Knock that dated thing out too. Upper cabinets? Byeeeeee.

Other helpful tricks: flooring that carries all the way into the shower. Tile that runs all the way up the wall. These extend the eye across every square inch. Now your bathroom looks and feels twice as big!

 

 

 

So great!

Speaking of big, have you ever been in a bathroom that’s TOO big? I have, and it’s not as fun as you’d think. It was so spacious that the toilet was smack dab in the center of distant wall, with nothing as much as a towel rack nearby and so uncomfortably far from the door. I’ve never felt so awkward while completely alone. Give me snug lil’ bathroom any day. This one from April at Uncookie Cutter is just right.

    That is a beautiful remodeling job. Sadly, I’ve heard that open shower bathrooms suffer one major problem: they’re cold b/c the steam disperses through the whole room. So that puts it forever out of reach for me unless I want a half shower curtain.

    Hahaha… yes, a giant bathroom just makes you feel exposed.

    Nice update! I like that the shower wall doesn’t go all the way to the ceiling, I think that also helps keep it from looking smaller.

    I never understand why people don’t take the time to close the toilet lid before taking a photo…. lovely bathroom though.

    so true! too large bathrooms are just plain weird — feels like you’re doing something in someone’s living room.

    (P.S. Pretty sure we’re all hoping you’ll write a book someday!)

    I’m so intrigued by that Art of Toilet Paper print! I tried to find it online to see if I can see what’s on it, but I’m not seeing the same one.

    Nice! That vertical wood look tile really makes an impact. I have been meaning to tell you for awhile that I’m glad you are back!

    Yo…yo…yo…!!! What up, L-$$$$!

    I like the color scheme, but I think that they should’ve done a glass wall instead of a solid wall next to the toilet. They could’ve frosted it half way up or put in vertical frost lines to mimic the upward tile.
