  I BELIEVE THAT ENJOYING A BEAUTIFUL HOME IS A RIGHT FOR EVERYONE. IT BOTHERS ME A LOT THAT FURNITURE AND DECOR RETAILERS ARE SO GREEDY AND THEIR PROFIT MARGINS ARE RIDICULOUS. SO I STARTED MY ONLINE STORE WWW.WUSLU.COM WHERE I SELL FURNITURE AND HOME DECOR FOR VERY LOW PRICES BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY RETAIL PRICES AND I BELIEVE THAT CREATIVITY HAS NO PRICE TAG ATTACHED TO IT, SO LET'S EXPLORE THAT TOGETHER...
  
  So my friend Kat sent me some pictures of her old tired bathroom and asked for my help.
  
  This is what I received from Kat:
  Help! I need to remodel my bathroom but I am coming up with a problem as to how I will have enough storage space once I remove the sink vanity and the large cabinet shown in the picture. The large cabinet, consequently, also blocks my light source making the bathroom darker. Light is not a problem during the day, but all in all I need to both brighten the bathroom during the remodeling process but also not remove too much of my storage space. Any feedback you give would be appreciated.
  And here are the pictures:
  
  So I contacted her got more info about the bathroom and some dimensions to sketch it and here is what I came up with:
  
  As you'll see in the pictures - without anyones feelings- the bathroom is dark and the space is chopped up.
  The bathroom is an average size but yet it appears much smaller that what it really is. That's due to a couple of factors:
  1. The tall storage cabinet in the middle of the wall. This cabinet is cutting the bathroom in half and creating a big block in the way.
  2. The fact that the cabinet is blocking the window -The only source of natural light in the room.
  3. The darker paint color
  4. The low ceiling at 7'-6".
  
  I believe that storage in a bathroom is curtail. We can maintain the same storage capacity by either retaining the storage cabinet but relocating it to the door wall, so that it falls between the wall and the sink. Or we can go with a horizontal storage solution with no vertical blocking .
  Something like below two options:
  
  When you look at the after plan and perspective above you can see right away how much bigger and brighter the bathroom will feel by simply eliminating the big block and relocating it to the door wall. Or we can remove the storage cabinet completely and replace the one sink with a Double Sink Vanity with storage underneath. This help increasing the value of your house as well!
  
  For the double sink vanity we can use something like this:
  
  I sent this email to Kat:
  The next step now is to figure how the interiors will look like. To do so, I need you to answer the following questions without thinking about the bathroom:
  
  1. What are your favorite 3 colors (in general, not for the bathroom project)?
  
  2. What are your husband's favorite 3 colors (in general, not for the bathroom project)?
  
  3. What kind of art do you and your husband like to look at? feel free to upload photos
  
  One last request, please take a photo showing the tub and its surroundings.
  
  Thanks you,

  Kat responded: Wow, it's hard just to pick three colors, I do tend to like Monochrome colors like black and white, I also like cobalt blue.
  
  My husband likes black, white and purple.
  
  My husband would enjoy any art having to do with soccer, LOL, seriously though he leans towards scenic art.
  
  I have so many favorites but if I have to narrow it down to one type, I would say abstract art with geometric patterns. :)
  
  Some photos coming up!!
  
  ______________________________________
  And my email back to kat:
  Kat,
  
  Knowing the colors and the art you like that's how I envision your bathroom.
  
  The entire bathroom will be white and black except for one accent wall and some accessories.
  
  #1. On the door wall, a scenic art in the color combination you like (purple and blue)
  
  #2. Wall sconces with a simple design but with some glam finishes. Reflective materials are key to the success of this design, therefore, the metal finish of the sconces is polished chrome.
  
  #3. Wall mirrors in simple lines and a wood color that matches the vanity. Adding these mirrors will make the bathroom feel much bigger.
  
  #4. Black metal art work for the wall between the door and the tub. Every wall in your bath is completely thought through so that at the end we'll have a one cohesive design.
  #5. Double vanity sink cabinet in dark wood finish
  #6. Preserved flowers (no sun or soil are required) in the accent colors. This is key to tie the design together.
  #7. White marble tile on the floor. Maybe we can introduce a thin border of the glass tile in purple and blue into the floor.
  #8. A laundry basket that matches in color and design the vanity sink
  #9. Simple white towels. If you want to add a color, I would go with black.
  #10. The window wall in blue and purple glass tile. This is the first wall you see when you enter the spacem. This wall is the soul of your bathroom, it will make a huge design statement. Remember that all other walls, accessories and the ceiling are white and a little black.
  
  Hope you all like it!
