Spa Master Bathroom With Home Gym

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

Henry and Nick have been renovating their massive three-story Victorian house since moving in four years ago. They started at the bottom and worked their way up, but were baffled when they got to the final room: an awkwardly-shaped master bathroom that was anything but functional cabinetry.

The third-floor space was cramped and outdated, and the guys were desperate to turn it into a modern-day “gentleman’s club.” Recently, Nick was diagnosed with diabetes and told to commence an exercise regimen. It was then the project took on greater urgency and I was called in to help. For now they not only wanted a new bathroom, they needed a workout area to help Nick maintain a healthy lifestyle. Solid Wood Cabinet

As it stood, the bathroom room was chopped up into three separate spaces: a toilet/tub/shower space, a storage closet and a sunroom. So the first order of the day was to gut the maze of small rooms, pull out all of the old fixtures and start from scratch. Once this was accomplished, I was left with a huge, open space which I painted in a crisp, neutral shade. I then put down clean white tiles overtop of radiant heating pads on the floor.

Next came the task of installing new state-of-the-art bathroom fixtures. I put in a gorgeous soaker tub — complete with a waterproof LCD television and remote control — and tiled the adjacent in a beautiful white and dark taupe mosaic tile. For a little something extra, I flanked the tub with gorgeous dark wood bookcases. I also installed a new toilet and a barrier-free shower stall with multiple body sprays, an overhead rain shower and a handheld showerhead wardrobes.

On the wall across from the shower, I put up a chic double vanity comprised of dark wood cabinetry topped with a white quartz countertop. I then put up two very tall mirrors and two modern polished stainless steel basins with funky wall-mounted spout faucets. Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

However, this bathroom was not just about relaxation. It needed a workout component to help get Nick moving. To that end, I put in a low-impact elliptical trainer with a heart monitoring system. The machine, which has a good view of the television, sits beside new sliding glass doors with white linen curtains that will eventually lead out to a new deck.

I also created a dressing room adjacent to the bathroom that would make any fashionista giddy. For the ultimate in organization, I put in a stunning dark wood storage system complete with shelves, drawers, clothes racks, a built-in ironing board and a washer and dryer. Bathroom Vanity

To lighten up the room, I put up a chrome-disc chandelier over the tub and four sconces over the vanity. Then it was time for a few final finishes —Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink  a heated towel rack, some fluffy robes and some spa-like amenities — and the space was complete.

By using masculine finishes, modern fixtures and space-saving techniques, this bathroom got a men’s club-inspired makeover that blends serenity with functionality. It’s a bathroom and workout space in which any guy would be proud to flex his muscles. China kitchen cabinets

Auction and Antique Shops

However, if you are looking for an original bathroom sink, you’ll have to join the hunt that many enthusiasts go on, searching for the genuine article.

If you get one cheaply, it will probably be worn, chipped or dented or even have holes rusted through. These are tricky but, with the right one of the many kits available, you should be able to bring it back to its former glory, and have a cheap bathroom sink that is something to be really proud of.

The bathroom sink base is what the basin stands on with its faucets, fittings and fixtures. There are a number of popular sink bases that are used often Kitchen Sinks. Some of the most popular pones are given as Bathroom Cabinets following:

Bathroom Vanity Cabinet 

Console Bathroom Sinks

The console sink base is generally very up to date in design. The console bathroom sink base is frequently modeled after the Victorian shaving stand.

A more recent style of console sink base can also have storage facilities, but seldom more than a glass shelf or two.

There are always exceptions.China Kitchen Cabinets The console sink base in the most up to date design usually incorporates metal and glass. The metals can be chrome, stainless steel, brass, copper, Bathroom Vanities blackened wrought iron or alloys or combination of metals. The finishes usually match that of the faucets and fittings and may be polished, satin, matte, brushed, oil rubbed, aged or blackened. Sometimes the console sink base looks plain and almost clinical, but others can be elaborate with wrought iron or beaten copper vines, flowers or abstract sculptures. The plumbing is sometimes concealed behind a cover plate, and sometimes it is revealed, usually in decorative, matching metal.

Cabinet Sinks

A cabinet sinks base describes almost any piece of furniture with storage that has been built or adapted to hold a bathroom sink basin and its fittings. In this range you get plain, minimalist, wall mounted cupboards with flat, undecorated doors or drawers.

These are often made of wood and frequently painted a dark color. The countertops may be of wood, granite or other stone, glass, ceramic, or even metal. The sinks can either contrast or blend, in color and texture Wardrobes . Vessel sinks are popular and so are undermount sinks. This type of bathroom sink base is also beloved of antique enthusiasts.

Antique or replica antique wash stands with ceramic tiled or marble countertops are often used.

Sink basins for these are usually vessel sinks or drop in sinks. They are often made of ornate glassware, pottery, brass or copper. The plumbing needs to be fed through holes in the cabinets and is hidden inside. The cabinet is fastened to the wall.

Vanity Bathrooms

A vanity bathroom sink base is similar to a cabinet bathroom sink base, but it is generally smaller and often doubles as a dressing table, too. It can be sleek and modern, or retro and elegant.

Pedestal Bathroom Sinks

These were the first dedicated bases made for the bathroom sink. They are usually either joined to the sink basin or they go with it to be installed together as a unit. The plumbing is concealed behind the base. Pedestal sinks have been around for more than a hundred years. They were originally made from porcelain and then from metals including cast iron, finished with enamel. Vitreous china is a more recent invention. A very beautiful innovation in the pedestal bathroom sink base is a huge variety of lovely stone and marble. As new kinds of sinks come and go in popularity, the pedestal sink with its matching base remains a timeless favorite.
