Decorating again.

Filed under: house

After looking into changing my bathroom and picking up a couple things for the place I came across some pretty neat stuff. I guess many of you are probably familiar with electric showers. It was one of the few times I have heard of them. But they looked interesting and there seems to be a claim that they are “green”. Which would be great but I am not sure about the electric part. I could find a few sellers and some sites were saying that they are perfectly safe. There was even a site that showed how to check to verify the wiring was good. However, I am still a bit nervous about that. The idea sounds good. I guess for somebody who is used to it, they probably sound great, like shower enclosures. But, for somebody, like me, who is really new to the idea, it sounds a bit strange to be doing. Although, I guess it is probably about the same as the whirlpool spas and stuff. They need electricity of some sort to get the bubbles and jets going, don’t they?

All the checking on bathroom stuff and fixtures and other things is making it easier to know what I want in a bathroom. I at least have a good idea of what is out there. Although there are still things I am unsure of there are many good ideas and neat gadgets that can be used to make the bathroom experience more luxurious and relaxing. You can basically, if you have the money, have your own spa experience at home. Letting my imagination run wild, I would like a bathroom with a rocky outcropping that a waterfall of warm water flows from. I wonder if you could do a continual flow but just continually purify and recycle the same water? You would probably have to add some new water every little bit to account for evaporation but it should be doable. I may have to look into that.

Decorating

Filed under: house

Looking at doing a little redecorating for the apartment. I seem to be running out of room for my stuff. Not my regular stuff, but the groceries. Dry goods and stuff, things you want to buy in bulk and keep around for a bit as you use just a bit at a time. Especially if there is only one or two of you. If you buy in bulk you better have some storage otherwise there is a very good chance you will be wasting a lot of food. I tend to have that problem with vegetables when I make a run to the farmers market. I have recently been about cutting in half what I normally buy, so that I will use all of it. I do seem to just make more trips to the farmer’s market but that is ok, it gets me out and about.

I would like to have more than one bathroom, as multiple bathrooms are especially good when you have family over or if you are living with someone. Having to share one bathroom isn’t really cutting it anymore. The bathroom is one of the places I want to do a little redecorating. Just add a few bathroom accessories, like a large towel rack and a little shelf. Keep it simple. I want to drop a cabinet in my office room and in the dining room, they would help to increase organized storage and keep pets out of places they shouldn’t be going. Cardboard really doesn’t impress the guests. I currently have cardboard boxes set up to keep pets from getting to things they shouldn’t, but it doesn’t do much for giving a good image when people come over. Heck, it doesn’t do much for giving a good image every time I see it. It shouldn’t cost all that much for a couple of small cabinets and a towel rack, then I can think about drawing some pictures to put up. Really decorate the place!
