Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoying
time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use when
relaxing in that big garden tub of yours. Lets talk about some of the things
that can make your bathing more relaxing and enjoyable.
How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation
time. There are many different kinds of tubs out now to fit everyone’s
needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, they can be very
relaxing too, just add some things around it to make it what you like. Fill
up the tub with your favorite smelly bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water
and all those bubbles around you make you feel special and important.
How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
Do you like getting romantic in the tub? Try the
garden tub it is a good one for small areas and large enough for the second
person to join you. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into your
floor area. Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is
always relaxing to everyone. Turn the music on a good easy listening music
channel or insert a CD into it, maybe an mp3 player too. Garden tubs and
music is just one type of tub to spice up your day.
When installing a tub for romance and relaxation be sure to think about
where you’re going to install it and the sitting around it. Your décor means
a lot when you’re trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a
room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and
just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you’re
going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a
wall to make a place for the stool and a shower separate from your tub.
Putting the sink in the same room with the tub is ok, since you can color
and coordinate the colors to both rooms to match the bedroom.
Put mirrors around your tub; box the tub in putting inserts at one end for
that glass of wine you might want to have while relaxing. Add candles so
when they are lit they can glow into the mirrors. Sounds romantic doesn’t
it.
Install Garden tubs with jets in it. Jets are a good way to get that massage
you’ve been wanting. Some of them even have heaters connected so your water
doesn’t get cold. Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there it can be
done so don’t stay in there to long with the jets on they can make you to
relaxed. Again, don’t forget to add the mirrors and candles.
Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to
dry off and add that lotion you might have for your feet. After relaxing in
that tub, you need to smell good afterwards. A little bit of body lotion
goes a long way. Match your lotion smells to go with the oil you’ve used to
take the smells with you when you’re done. Body lotions are affordable; as
well, you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc online to help you
save money.
How to find oils, bathtubs, candles, lotions, and more:
Check out the department stores; maybe go on line
to check out the candles, lotions, and your oils. Try different smells and
enjoy.
That Bare Wall Benefiting from Bathroom Accessories
How to fill in the blanks with rubber stamps:
Is there a bare wall in your bathroom? Is the wall
bare so that you cannot find a theme to match? Have you considered
wallpaper, yet nothing seems to fit? Why not put your creativeness and ideas
to work and make your own wallpaper design. I bet no one else will have one
like it.
Before you get started, decide what you really want to put on a bare wall
you are trying to cover. Make sure you are creative and try to use the same
theme you are working with, such as birds. This can be done in any room of
you house where you have a wall and want to do something different.
You’ll need to shop around and find some rubber stamps or stencils; you can
even draw the design if you want. The rubber stamps, stencils, all of these
things can be found in the craft department of most department stores. Be
sure to grab the brushes you’ll need; the variety pack of brushes is nice
since you have different sizes and styles all in one.
Usually in the same department you’ll be able to purchase the paints you’ll
need, use ceramic paint, it comes in many colors and shades to accommodate
your needs. Clean up is a breeze just using warm and soapy water to clean up
the paint to change from one color to another is all you need to do.
Whenever doing a project like this, you should do it twice to be sure you
have the right design and colors that you’ll want to use. If you need more
stamps or stencils just go to another department store, wherever craft
supplies are sold, they all sell different ones. Cover the area that you are
going to stamp on with freezer paper. The paper you can buy wherever
groceries are sold, usually in the meat department. When putting up the
paper just stick a thumbtack on the corner and a few places in the center to
hold it in place.
Now you are ready to make the first copy of your wall project. Go for it and
start stamping away.
It is hard to place everything so they are exactly spaced but don’t worry
you can fill in those empty spots later. When going from one color to
another, if the colors are going to touch make sure that the first color
completely dries? When finished, let dry and look at it for a couple of days
to make sure this is what you want. Then go on to the permanent design.
How to remove the paper?
Now you’re ready to do your wall, taking down the
paper carefully so you don’t forget your color combinations. Keep it for a
pattern to work from. Remember no two projects are the same. That’s the fun
of the whole project; no one will have one like it.
Paint your wall in the color of your choice making it a light color to match
the colors you are going to stamp on it. Using your pattern, you have set
aside; start stamping again on the original wall. Again, make sure each
color is completely dry before stamping another color so they do not touch
each other. If do not like the pattern you’ve done just fill in the spaces
with something else or add a new color somewhere. No matter how many times
you use this technique you’ll never be able to do two projects the same.
This is the tactic known as creativity. Now that you have your paints,
consider the flowery bathroom accessories.
