At top of New Year resolution list.. Master bath....updates!
It is the time of year when we all start thinking of resolutions and lists that we want to get started and finish in the new year... on the top of my list for 2013 is to update my Master Bathroom. We are looking to update our dated tile counter-top, replace our sink, possibly replace our vanity and look for new mirror options.
As I wrote about my desire to remodel I was directed to a great website, Modern Bathroom, and asked if I would mention them in one of my blog posts. At first I was apprehensive, but after visiting their website I am sold. No matter what your style or taste, they have it all.
My personal tastes tend to run more toward the traditional styles, and I have found a lot of great options from this site. I figure if I'm going to go through the time and expense to update my bathroom, I may as well also do the right thing and make it as energy efficient and friendly to the environment as I can. I was worried that this would greatly limit my options, but this site has a great selection of eco-friendly and energy efficient bathroom fixtures. No need to fight the crowds and be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. I've attached a few of the options that I really liked. Now I just have to somehow decide which ones I like the best and get started.

I am really drawn to this model of faucet and I think it will go well with the fixtures that I now have in the shower etc.
I really like the look of this sink...
look at these mirror options...
with a few different options for accessories and wow my project is almost finished ...
That was So easy!
Hope you get a chance to tackle your TO DO/ resolution list for 2013!
