SPECIAL SECTION: HOME IMPROVEMENT
away and stackable storage options for makeup. And while you’re
standing in front of that vanity applying your makeup, you can watch
TV in the mirror! New technology allows your favorite TV program
to be projected onto the mirror, so you can keep up with the latest
baseball scores or check the weather before going out.
Slate and marble tile are always elegant options for bathrooms, but
one of the latest trends in baths are porcelain tiles that mimic wood.
These tiles come in sizes up to 48” and can be laid to look like natural
woodgrain, without the worry of water damage. Laipple notes that the
woodgrain appearance really warms up the bathroom.
And speaking of warm – your toilet can be warm too. Homeowners
can opt for a “throne” with a retractable base that comes out and heats
your feet as well as the seat of the toilet. And new touchless flushing
helps prevent the spread of germs among your family, along with a
bidet, which ensures a much cleaner experience.
You spend so much time in your bathroom every day. You owe
it to yourself to make it a more enjoyable place. And, according to
HGTV.com, bath remodels often offer a return on investment of more
than 100%!
KITCHEN CUISINE
Whether your cooking style is Chicken Cordon Bleu, or just some
great Pad Thai take-out from the corner restaurant, you need a place to
prepare your meals that’s fun, organized and feels like home.
Even in today’s hectic lifestyle, you’ll probably spend a significant
amount of time each day in your kitchen.
Though it’s a significant investment to update your kitchen, it’s a
worthwhile endeavor from both a personal standpoint and a financial
one. And like bathrooms, HGTV.com estimates that a kitchen
remodel can offer returns that are upwards of 100% on the resale of
your house.
