You cross the threshold into your dream bathroom and you step into another world—one that makes you feel like royalty. The room is fi lled with luxury: lush towels warming on heated racks, soft lighting, a jetted tub. Everything is designed with pampering in mind. Few rooms in the home serve as great a role in our daily routine, relaxation, and health as the bathroom. It must work with sanitary effi ciency and, ideally, satisfy our cravings for privacy and luxury. Remodeling a bathroom, or building a brand-new one, can create a living space that better suits your needs. New hardware and fresh paint can transform a dingy half bath into a more attractive space. Changing the layout of fi xtures can make a bathroom more usable for a growing family. Annexing the closet space of an adjacent room can provide the necessary space to add a sauna to a master bathroom. And an updated bathroom can be designed to be more hospitable for the physically challenged and the very young. The Complete Guide to Dream Bathrooms is a comprehensive guide to remodeling bathrooms. With clear descriptions, step-by-step instructions, and full color photos and illustrations, this book gives you the knowledge to plan and complete your dream bathroom remodeling or addition project. The book is divided into three sections to lead you through each phase of the bathroom remodeling process. Planning & Designing Your Dream Bathroom: The fi rst section guides you through each step of the planning stage, from initial concept to contacting building inspectors. No matter how simple or extravagant your new bathroom design may be, you will be able to create a working plan and budget that is right for you. This section also provides a gallery of dream baths to help generate practical and creative ideas you can use for redesigning your bathroom. Dream Bathroom Projects: The second section shows you how to install bathroom fi xtures, wall and fl oor surfaces, cabinets, lighting, and more. A short section, Removal & Demolition, gives helpful tips and techniques for the least glamorous part of a remodeling job: getting the old stuff out. Even if you choose to hire professionals to do the demolition work or install the fi xtures, The Complete Guide to Dream Bathrooms remains a useful tool. This book will give you an increased understanding of how to remodel a bathroom, work with contractors, and make the best use of your money. ■ 5 CCGGDDBB__000011--001199__..iinndddd 55 Provision-CPI-CG to Dream Bathrooms Text 11//2244//0088 66::3355::2244 PPMM CD108-72 / 3173 1st Proof Black CCGGDDBB__000011--001199__..iinndddd 66 Provision-CPI-CG to Dream Bathrooms Text 22//1133//0088 99::5566::2299 PPMM CD208-26 / 4115 2nd Proof Black PLANNING & DESIGNING YOUR DREAM BATHROOM CCGGDDBB__000011--001199__..iinndddd 77 Provision-CPI-CG to Dream Bathrooms Text 22//1133//0088 99::5566::4400 PPMM CD208-26 / 4115 2nd Proof Black CCGGDDBB__000011--001199__..iinndddd 88 Provision-CPI-CG to Dream Bathrooms Text 11//2244//0088 66::3355::3322 PPMM CD108-72 / 3173 1st Proof Black Gallery of Dream Bathrooms Modern dream bathrooms are designed with luxury and pampering in mind. But it hasn’t always been this way. Traditionally, bathrooms have been all business—often white from fl oor to ceiling with only the essential fi xtures. Happily, the dream of retreating from the stresses of work and long commutes by soaking in your jetted bath surrounded by walls of Italian marble is now attainable. Before you rush out to buy new fi xtures or fl ooring, however, you’ll want to consider your new bathroom’s function, style, and color. The three basic types of bathrooms, each with its own requirements for space and layout, are family baths, master (or luxury) baths, and half (or guest) baths. A bathroom should blend in with the overall style of your home. For optimum fl exibility, choose neutral fi xtures and tile, and then add easy-to-change color accents with wallpaper, paint, or towels. The following gallery of dream bathrooms will inspire you to come up with practical and creative ideas. ■ 9 CCGGDDBB__000011--001199__..iinndddd 99 Provision-CPI-CG to Dream Bathrooms Text 11//2244//0088 66::3355::3388 PPMM CD108-72 / 3173 1st Proof Black
