Whirlpool Tubs Are The Bomb

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I have a tiny bathroom, seriously tiny. So when I had to remodel it due to leaks and cracking in everything but the towels, I was a bit perplexed. Where would I start, and how on Earth could I make this space more efficient? I thought and thought for weeks at a time and a friend recommended a website, Simply Bathtubs, and I was bored, so I checked it out. Well, low and behold, I found the answer I was looking for. They had some wonderfully unique bathtubs; specifically the whirlpool tubs were amazing. It was exactly what I was looking for, and they even had some corner ones that would fit perfectly in my small space and free up the other side. With this colorful and wonderfully designed bathtub, I was able to design a new bathroom setup that left me with a lot more room and a much more breathable space. It was also easy to install and made the rest of the remodeling process a breeze. I still have a tiny bathroom, but now I have a space where I can relax and enjoy. I get a ton of compliments on my new bathtub, and how the whole room just really came together. It’s amazing what a little touch up, a new tub, and some fresh towels will do to a room.

Learning How to Caulk a Bathtub

Friday, September 5th, 2008

You have decided to attempt skipping the costs of hiring someone to come install your bathtub.  It is probably going to get worse before it gets better and you may want to quit and call that professional before you finish.  But hold tight and soon you’ll be done and happy with your bathtub installation.  One thing to keep in mind is learning how to caulk a bathtub properly.

The reason you need to know this is because this will extend the life of your bathtub.  Caulk prevents water from getting places it shouldn’t be.  This can prevent mold from growing in your bathroom and nobody wants mold in their bathroom.  That is why properly caulking your bathtub is very important.  A caulk gun should help with the process.  When preparing your bathtub, wipe the surface clean to get rid of any dirt or dust. After that simply move the caulk gun on the areas you want it with a smooth and steady motion.  Afterwards you can take your finger and smooth out the applied caulk to create a clean look.  This caulk will help lengthen the life of your bathtub and improve the overall hygiene of your bathroom.

Handicapped Bathtubs Are Special

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Now, I typically don’t like to use the word “handicap” but I have to say that handicapped bathtubs are awesome. They should be called something like “sensible” bathtubs instead. Why do we risk our lives every day on a slippery bath surface, doing hurdles up and over the wall of a large tub? We should all have these handicap, aka special, aka Walk In Bathtubs that have a nice door on the side that allows us to simply walk into the tub and enjoy ourselves, instead of breathing a sigh of relief that, “Phew! We made it today. Wonder what will happen tomorrow.” Instead of rolling the dice everyday, I finally made the wise decision to just invest in a nice walk in bathtub. I’m so thankful for my decision. It’s beautiful, easy to manage, easy to clean and safe!

Walk In Tubs Lessened My Grumpy Old Woman Syndrome

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I like things in my life easy. That’s why I started becoming a grumpy old woman, because I was suddenly finding things more difficult in my every day life. I was becoming less independent and needing help doing the most mundane things. It was driving me nuts, and leading me into the typical stereotype of a cynical and cranky old woman. (Though I’m not really “old” I’m just making sure you get my point). So, in an effort to reduce my cynicism, I decided to find ways to increase my level of independence. The best solution I’ve found so far is Walk In Tubs. They offer an easy solution to the dangerous hazard that many people face getting over the ledge of the bathtub. The Walk In tub simply has a door that you open and you step in. The tub looks the same as a regular tub, but is just a lot easier to handle. I don’t feel any less independent by having this tub, it’s just a lot safer, and it even came with whirlpool jets that I enjoy daily. A walk in whirlpool tub is a great way to lessen the grumpy old woman syndrome, and allow people to enjoy their freedom for as long as they can. Thank you Simply Bathtubs!

Classic Free Standing Bathtubs Are Fresh and Clean

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Sometimes when decorating a room, it’s the simplicity of it that really makes it stand out and look beautiful. I started taking notice of rooms that I liked, because I was remodeling a few rooms in my home. What I noticed was that the rooms I really loved were the ones that were roomy and clean, with not much clutter. I tried to keep this in mind as I was redecorating my bathroom earlier this year, because I too, tend to over do things, and add too many pieces. Finally, after a brief overhaul of my bathroom, I had completed a gorgeous room. The key to my success was my choice of classic free standing bathtubs, over any other type. They are clean, and clutter-free. There is no mess, and it is a stunning piece of furniture. I found my classic free standing bathtub made of acrylic instead of the heavier cast  iron kind at www.simplybathtubs.com, where they had the best selection around, and at the lowest prices I saw anywhere. If you’re looking for a way to freshen up your bathroom, upgrade it, or just need a great new acrylic bathtub, I suggest looking at Simply Bathtubs, and definitely recommend Classic Free Standing Bathtubs.

A Premiere Line of Bathtubs is the Only Line

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

For me, there’s only one line of bathtubs that I’ll buy, and it’s the Premiere Line of Bathtubs. They are the top of the line tubs that I know I’ll never have to worry about. Their quality tubs are held to the highest standards, and it shows in their beautiful craftsmanship. When I bought my first Premiere tub, it was for my mother. They have a great Walk In tub that was perfect for her, as she was getting older. She needed a little more assistance getting in and out of the tub, but hated the idea of losing her freedom. So, the walk in tub was the perfect solution. Then, when it was time for me to replace my old bathtub, I had a good idea where to start looking; www.simplybathtubs.com, and as it turned out, it was also the place where I finished looking. It was so simple (as their name implies) and I knew I was getting a beautiful and durable bathtub. There is no other brand for me, other than Premiere Line of bathtubs; I highly recommend them to you too.

Where to Find Small Corner Bathtub Designs

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

It is one of the worst things in the world to have a small bathroom. You never feel as though you have enough space to get ready. I am constantly knocking over my perfume bottles and lotions because I have no where else to put them. My small bathroom also prevented me from having the one bathroom feature I have always wanted, a luxurious bathtub.  I thought my dream could never come true until I discovered small corner bathtub designs. It was a miracle!

Corner bathtubs are perfect for those of us with little space. The tub fits snugly in the corner of your bathroom and does not waste any precious space. Mine sits underneath a window and I use the sill for all my shampoos and soaps. I love it!  I can now enjoy a wonderful bath after a long day at work. I did not even need to sign over a fortune for my tub. I looked online and discovered simplybathtubs.com. I found the size of bathtub I needed for a phenomenal price. So awesome! I just have to tell everyone about it so if you are looking at small corner bathtub designs, all you need to do is go to Simply Bathtubs! I know you’ll love your new tub.  I certainly do!

A Plethora of Claw Foot Tubs

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Most people I know enjoy having options. The same goes for something as simple as a bathtub. You may think if you seen one bathtubs style you’ve seen them all. Sorry to say, that’s where you’re wrong. I too believed that all bathtubs were one-in-the-same, that is until I did some research of my own. It turns out that for every style, say claw foot tubs, there are hundreds of variations. I specifically use the example of claw foot tubs because that’s what I was in the market for when I redid my bathroom. I searched online for claw foot tubs and hundreds of websites with many options showed up before my eyes. I took some time to see what was out there and luckily found a truly unique bathtub.

When I stumbled onto Simplybathtubs.com I immediately focused on the selection they had exclusively for claw foot tubs. They had so many to choose from; it was so nice to know what a great selection I had available to me. From different sizes to shapes to colors, they had it all. I ended up finding a wonderful claw foot tub that had beautiful silver feet. It immediately caught my attention the moment I saw it. I had never seen such a unique bathtub before, but what pleased me even more was that it would go perfectly in my bathroom. I now have the free standing bathtub installed and boy can I tell you what, it’s a real beauty.
