BATHROOM BEAUTY
Though your bathroom may not spring to mind as
the place to hold your next cocktail party, with the right
accoutrements your bath can be a great place to hang out
and enjoy life. And if you live with family members, it may
be the only place in your house where you can truly be
alone for a bit.
Besides just being a place to “get ready” to meet the day,
it’s also a relaxing space to recharge your batteries after a
long week at work. Hydrotherapy is one of the best ways to
relieve stress and help tired, overworked muscles. With tons
of specialized showerheads, you can have everything from
the sprinkle of a gentle rain to an invigorating massage to
bring your body back to center. And a nice relaxing bath in a
soaker tub can make the world go away for a while.
Does all of this sound like a fantasy? Maybe not.

Kitchen and Bath Design Studio at 84 Lumber, you may be
able to make updates to your bath for less than you might
expect.
