Removing & Repairing Frameless Glass Shower Doors

Frameless shower doors provide an elegant look to your home's bathroom. These doors have no metal frame holding them in place. Showers in older homes often have metal frame doors in which the glass slides open and closed, however, these frames become traps for mold and mildew. Frameless shower doors are not susceptible to this problem and are much simpler to remove and repair. Removal Removal of a frameless shower door is fairly simple. Many frameless doors are simply connected with two or three brass hinges. These hinges are usually attached to the shower wall itself, or to another piece of glass that serves as an enclosure for the rest of the shower. To avoid dropping the glass and breaking it, always remove it with the help of another pair of hands. Removal generally involves a simple unscrewing of the hinges. In some cases, you may need to remove the additional glass pieces and not just the door that opens and closes. Shower door panels fastened directly to the wall ...

Authors: Samantha LeDonne MD and Debashree Sengupta MD ( Emergency Resident Physicians , Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; @SamanthaLeDonne @Debashree_S) // Edited by: Stephen Alerhand MD (Ultrasound Fellow and Attending Physician, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; @SAlerhand) and Manpreet Singh (Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine / Department of Emergency Medicine – Harbor- UCLA Medical Center ; @MPrizzleER) Introduction The ancestors of today’s ultrasound machines used in the mid-twentieth century were open water-bath scanners. These earliest ultrasound machines involved immersing the human body within a tank made from post-war military surplus materials [1]. Although we have since shifted from water to oil to now ultrasound gel as the conducting medium, water baths can still be helpful in the evaluation of distal extremity injuries . Ultrasound has an established role in evaluating distal extremity injuries such as abscesses, fractures, or lacerations. ...

bathtub vs walk in closet - remodeling realestsate

We are planning a remodel our master bath and need some advice on likely buyers' preferences. Currently the master bedroom has two 6-foot- wide single depth closets . The bath has a soaker tub, separate shower , double sink vanity and toilet. We would make one of the closets a walk in by expanding it into the bath at the expense of not including a bathtub in the new design. What will buyers consider more important, a walk in closet or a bathtub? Our house is a 4 bedroom, 2 story colonial near Gurnee IL We are working to position the house as fairly upscale. It has solid hardwood floors throughout and a newly remodeled kitchen . The guest bathroom has a 1 piece tub/shower combo. posted by grahahw to Home & Garden (24 answers total)

Space-Saving Bathroom Ideas | Architectural Digest

In many cases, baths are already among the smallest rooms in a home—so what do you do when yours is especially petite? For help maximizing your space, we turned to Manhattan- based interior designer Nick Olsen . Olsen originally burst onto the scene as a blog darling known for imbuing small spaces with grandeur, wit, and the kind of high-end design once reserved for those with serious square footage. Though these days Olsen’s services are coveted by clients with space to spare (case in point: the Brooklyn brownstone seen in the August 2015 issue of Architectural Digest ), his skills for decorating tight spots are as bright as ever. Read on for his smart moves on getting more space in the bath—as well as a couple of trompe l’oeil tips on making the room look larger, against all odds.

Kristine’s Shower Handcrafted Bath and Body Products Review

Winter is super rough on my skin, and I make it even rougher by taking frequent hot baths . While scorching hot water is very relaxing, it’s not exactly good for dry skin. During the cold months, I need a steady supply of bath goodies to help keep my skin from shriveling up like a prune, and I love trying to new stuff (hence the cabinet of bubble bath, creams, lotions, and oils under my bathroom sink). This week, I got to try out a few goodies from Kristine’s Shower. I was really drawn in by all the fun colors used in these handcrafted bath products , they’re like little pieces of artwork in your bathroom. I received a Shea Butter  bath bomb, Lavender Dreams scent Aloe Vera Body Whip , Girly Girl scent Shea Butter Body Sorbet , and a bar of handcrafted soap (I forgot to look at the scent name before I opened it, but it’s fruity and delightful). Check out the pretty red colors in the Aloe Vera Body Whip above, and the cute confetti-style edge to the soap. Even the packaging is fun! M...

How To Keep Your Shower Curtain From Attacking You

Picture this: it's a regular weekday morning . You hop out of bed, step in the shower, turn on the faucet and WHOOSH! Your shower curtain attempts to murder you. No, it's not quite that  bad...but close enough. Your shower curtain blows inward, smothering you in plastic and pressing you into the cold tile wall .  If this has ever happened to you, you're not alone. In fact, the shower-curtain effect has confounded scientists for years. The reason your shower curtain wants to wrap you up in a cloak of death is much more complicated than anything in your bathroom ever should be. One of the most popular theories explaining the shower-curtain effect is Bernoulli's principle. Bernoulli's principle states that as a fluid's velocity increases, pressure decreases. Fast- moving water flowing from the shower head creates a low-pressure area, and the higher-pressure air outside the shower presses the curtain against you in its endeavor for equilibrium.  But the leading...

Save Money on Your New Shower Curtain

It is possible to say that "a shower curtain is a shower curtain" -- and that sentiment is mostly true. The amount you spend on a new shower curtain all goes back to the level of design and materials you want. If design and materials in a shower curtain are of no consequence to you, then a basic vinyl shower curtain will do. These are cheap -- typically selling for under $5.00. Getting a new shower curtain on the cheap is easy to do. I would not be surprised if dollar stores sometimes have vinyl shower curtains for a buck. The Goodwill Store sells cheap shower curtains , too -- so be sure to take a look at your local store. It is my own personal preference not to buy a used shower curtain -- but that just speaks a little about me and my germ issues. Stuff just weirds me out -- that's all. If you can find a new shower curtain up for bid (not "Buy It Now") on eBay, you will likely catch a nice deal there, so be sure to give that a go. Remember, a good shower cur...

A budget bath pick: Dr. Teals Milk Bath with Milk & Honey

Image
Dr. Teal’s Milk Bath with Milk & Honey (around $4 for 28 oz.) I take a lot of hot baths to soothe chronic achy muscles , despite how much they dry my skin out. I love to find bath products that can help keep my skin feeling hydrated , but good ones can be so expensive. And frankly, companies usually focus on sweet smelling lathers over creamier and genuinely moisturizing options . I found this bag of Dr. Teal’s Milk Bath at Bed Bath and Beyond and it was only around $4, so I figured it was worth a try. The ingredients are simple, the cost is low, and it’s actually pretty effective! This is a fine white powder that creates a milky, fragranced bath . The directions say to use 1/2 a cup of the powder in a bath, and while that seems like a lot, this is a product that I can actaully afford to use the recommended amount. I love the way it smells. It’s soft and sweet like, well, milk and honey (shocker!), and the bath fills the bathroom with the pleasant scent . Once I dry off I can st...

Cocktails and cabanas on the beach in Cuba at new seaside resort | Claire Boobbyer

Image
Cocktails on the beach, swimming in warm, turquoise sea, fun in the pool, and live bands at night. What more could you want from a Cuba beach holiday ? We checked into the new Iberostar Bella Vista and were very reluctant to check out ... The sea at Varadero is simply sublime. Kilometre after kilometre of creamy sand shelves gently into dreamy turquoise sea where the sandy bed remains shallow for dozens of metres, only disturbed by the occasional darting about of glassy fish. As we lolled about in the shallow water lapping at the beach in front of the Iberostar Bella Vista and looking out on to a horizon of infinite blue, it was hard to get up and go . There was nothing pressing, really, just more sunbathing, drinking cocktails, and unwinding at Cuba's most famous beach spot . Holiday Heaven Varadero has been a top holiday spot since the 1840s and its global fame has been soaring ever since. In the last six years, the town end of the Varadero strip - the Hicacos Peninsula -...

Clarins “Relax” Bath & Shower Concentrate and Body Balm ~ scented body products :: Now Smell This

Image
In the calm after the holiday storm of shopping, socializing, travel, and various overindulgences, a few of us might be looking for simple means of relaxation. This is an ideal time to try the “Relax” products from Clarins, which happens to produce some very fine aromatherapy products alongside its skincare and makeup lines. The “Relax” Bath & Shower Concentrate , which I’ve been using as a shower gel, is a low- lathering liquid fragranced with essential oils of geranium, basil and petitgrain. The accompanying Body Balm is a creamy lotion, just thick enough to feel indulgent but light enough to be easily absorbed into the skin; its aromatherapeutic essences are the same as those of the Bath & Shower Concentrate , with an additional note of chamomile. The “Relax” scent is designed to enhance a sense of tranquility, and I could swear that I do sleep better after using these two products in conjunction with a bedtime shower. The natural essences in both the body wash and the lo...

A decade of domesticity: how the 1950s made the modern home

Image
A young couple from the 1950s pouring milk for a baby sat in a popular Formica - branded baby chair . (H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock/Getty Images)  For many thousands of visitors, the 1951 Festival of Britain on London’s South Bank became synonymous with a period of regeneration and modernisation. The festival provided an advertising platform for architects, artists and designers who regaled visitors with an avalanche of modern designs, such as Ernest Race’s popular, ultra-modern steel-legged chair. Pavilion exhibits made extensive use of new dyes, and photographs of brightly coloured festival umbrellas , reproduced on millions of commemorative postcards, can still be found today. Once colour was incorporated into 1950s designs, there was no looking back to the dull, drab landscape of the wartime years.
