The Bathroom Idea Book - Idea Books Author:Andrew Wormer The bathroom is a quiet, comfortable, private place within the home, so it's no surprise that modern Americans, stressed out from demanding jobs and a hectic pace, spend more time in their bathrooms than ever. Which means that it's also no surprise that Americans are putting more thought into bathroom design and construction and spending more mo... more »ney on their bathrooms than ever. Like its companion, The Kitchen Idea Book (Taunton, 1999), The Bathroom Idea Book is filled with real ideas for real people and will appeal to a broad range of styles, tastes, and budgets. It offers practical and useful advice on all aspects of remodeling and design, including fixtures, lighting, flooring, ventilation, finishes, and counter materials. With 400 color photos and 25 drawings and floor plans, readers are guided through a number of options and ideas that will inspire them to create a space all their own. The book breaks the room down into its individual elements and then demonstrates step-by-step how the pieces work together to create the whole room. There's something here for every reader, with styles ranging from high tech to traditional, whether the need is for a bathroom that's accessible for young children or the elderly and full of storage space.« less
