Bathroom remodeling notes from the past, present and future

I have bathroom envy.

Our home was built in 1960, so our bathroom is cozy, and is one thing that will be addressed in any remodeling if it’s going to be our forever home.

So you can imagine that I’m a sucker for all of the bathroom slide shows that feature soaking tubs, big windows, and amenities that bring a spa-like feel. If you are like me, then this article about modern shower doors is right up your alley.

While any future remodel will pit my taste versus my wife’s taste, it won’t feature any input from the former tenant, unlike this couple you might have seen on our Twitter feed.

A couple remodeling their bathroom found a sassy note from the previous owners, questioning why their 1995 job wasn’t good enough. It’s pretty funny.

“Hi! We’re the Shinsekis! We remodeled this bathroom summer 1995,” the note says. “If you’re reading this, that means you’re remodeling the bathroom again. What’s wrong with the way we did it?”

Whether you are looking big picture like the couple, or maybe smaller-scale like me, cost will be of paramount importance.

An article from KJZZ explores the concept of whether home remodeling is recession proof.

Conventional wisdom held that people will remodel more during a recession and look to upgrade through purchasing a new home during prosperous times. But people are currently remodeling at a pace normally seen during a recession. So what gives?

We hope we’ve given you something to think about. Have a good week!
