I hate my bathroom lighting. Plus the vanity doesn’t allow me to get very close, although I may not want too. Then I try several feet back to see if I can get the overhead lighting to be a bit more forgiving—still look bad. Inevitably, I go to the mirror in the bedroom. To get some natural window light.
What’s up with that?
It should not be nearly so complicated to apply a little makeup! I hate leaving the room wondering if I look scary or not!
What I have noticed in talking with my girlfriends is that so many women settle for the equivalent of average bathroom lights to put on their makeup every day. How they ever see what they are doing is beyond me.
Here’s the culprit: overhead lighting. No, no, no…it will cast shadows giving you dark circles and basically make it nearly impossible to see what you are doing – at least with any degree of confidence.
Overhead lighting is at best utilitarian. Sure, it lights the room but it doesn’t allow you to see your face clearly and without that ability you feel frustrated – or just tired after seeing all those light-enhanced dark circles.
Give yourself a break and a lovely gift. Replace your existing overhead bathroom light with sconces. The side lighting will give you a more accurate reflection of your features. It doesn’t even have to be expensive--just 2 basic lights on either side of the medicine cabinet. Who says you have to tear out all the existing wiring in your bathroom. Nope…you can keep what’s there just have the electrician rerun the existing wire.
It’s a small investment and you won't have to wonder what you ‘really’ look like anymore. What you see is what you get. We can help you with that. www.bathroommagic.com

Wikipedia defines "wainscot" as a wall covering that originated in the 18th century in Europe and comes from wainscot oak. The wood was specially grown in Holland and Great Brittian for its slow growth, which diminishes the development of unsightly knots. Its purpose then was to reduce the rising dampness in houses, covering the walls from floor to ceiling.
Now it’s solely for decorative purposes and typically covers the lower 1/3 of the wall and is topped by a chair rail. Used for traditional styling in kitchens and baths, although you can use it in other rooms and hallways. Styles include 3’ vertical beadboard panels or molded door like panels.
Manufacturing techniques are capable of milling large panels from one sheet, reducing seams, caulking and expansion/contraction cracks that have plagued older construction.
Bathroom Magic offers wainscot in acrylic beadboard style and is applied directly onto sheetrock in the bath to create a charming decor or covers 50's ad 60's wall tile beautifully!

A bathroom is the most used room in the house and it is, hands down, the hardest-working space. If it’s not functional, everybody suffers. Keep all of its functions in mind — it’s a work station for preparing for the day ahead and a refuge for recovering from your long and hectic day — when choosing the sink, tub, shower, commode and other pieces, you don't want to skimp.
They can however, be beautiful & functional. Consider what other components you can incorporate into the bath to make the room even more functional -- add a little design touches here and there.
It just takes a little clever planning; perhaps you’d like a seat in the shower, a steam room or storage for linens. If you’ve got any unused space, Bathroom Magic can incorporate shelving or a slim linen cabinet. You know you’ll use any storage if it’s there, right! Let us help make your bath even more efficient and beautiful.

Shower systems are not what they used to be. They are all acrylic but this isn’t your grandfathers acrylic. There have been so many advances and the composite itself is more flexible, not brittle, stylish in
many patterns like rectangular or subway and high gloss just like tile. You can’t tell the difference until you get into the shower. And you can choose to put the shower system & tub right over your old, failing tile or remove it. Or you can replace the greenboard, and mount it directly to that. A DIYer can install it, however you want to have a certified installer do it for you to ensure a perfect fit. This will ensure a perfect fit. Tile is so 25 years ago. The advantages of a shower system far outweigh replacing the "failing tile".
What makes you think that this tile isn’t going to fail like the last time? I have to leave you with one last thought. Imagine, no more grout!

A great bathroom innovation that can add an aesthetic touch are seamless or vessel sinks. Seamless sinks can be made of Corian, porcelain or glass. They are under-mounted and can be adhered to any countertop. Seamless sinks are considered the most sanitary, with no seams to collect water and grow bacteria.* Vessel sinks can be found in many decorative, sculptural designs. They are most popular in powder rooms because some may not be practical for everyday, family use. A vessel sink is mounted on top of a vanity." The sink and faucet are the crown jewels of a remodeled bathroom these days. Don't miss the opportunity to flex your design muscles when choosing these items. These add huge statements to the bathroom.
