Bathroom Updates!

Often overlooked in day-today life, the bathroom can be a place of retreat and restoration from the day. When ignored and left to the most basic of traditional looks, bathrooms become places where cleaning and grooming is a chore. However, with a little time and money your bathroom can be transformed into a retreat that allows your body and mind to rest and prepare to face the world again. Homedit.com shares some ideas for giving your bathroom a new look and a whole new feel to go with the new year.



Outside of the kitchen, very few remodels breathe new life into your home like redoing the bathroom. From a complete refit to some simple accessories to give it a new feel, stepping out of the mundane can add enjoyment and give you cause to take the time enjoy a warming soak in the winter or a relaxing shower in the summer. Changing how you view this room can do a lot for your sensation of the space itself, changing it from a place where chores of cleaning and shaving are performed as quickly and efficiently as possible to a room to be enjoyed as an escape. Additionally, outside of a kitchen, very few rooms can do so much to increase the the value of your Charlottesville home than making the bathroom something spectacular.






Whether you go for a more modern look like the one pictured at the top of the page, or something a bit more traditional like the picture directly above and to the right, just glancing at these photos certainly lets you know that these were not bathrooms chosen out of the aisleways of the local home improvement store with a measuring tape and heavy duty cart and the latex advertisements for what is on sale. No matter what you choose, the point is to give a signature and make it inviting, unique and valuable. I have yet to be out with a couple buying a new home in Charlottesville / Albemarle where they do not comment on two rooms - the kitchen and the master bath. You may choose to update your bathroom for your own enjoyment now, but when the time comes to sell your home in Charlottesville, I can promise you this is an investment that will pay off in two ways - overall value of the home and by increasing traffic and shortening the length of time your home is on the market.


Are you an outdoorsman? Enjoy camping in winters and planting in the spring? One of the primary draws to Charlottesville / Albemarle Real Estate is the mix of city and nature, the ability of homeowners to experience and enjoy both. If you do love nature and experiencing it in person than you are likely in want of a mudroom. No mudroom in your home? Make your master bath one with a wet side and a dry with these unique partitions that let you clean up without spreading the mess throughout the whole bath.  Stylish and versatile, these partitions give your bath a unique feel and help you keep on the good graces of your spouse by simplifying clean up and not spreading the mess. Enjoy the outdoors without losing the luxury of your bath with these wonderful accessories.

Whether you have a large budget or a small one, you can make a difference in your home and your life with some well spent energy and money in a room that we should all enjoy that will add value to your home when it comes time to trade up.
