Envious Justice League Members Secretly Applaud Spider-man Themed Bathroom

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Have you ever dreamed of a super-heroic bathroom? What might once have been a childhood fantasy can now be a totally “marvel-ous” reality with a little ingenuity and creativity, as demonstrated by one super-powered interior designer and comic book fan!

Internet user RileyReplicas shows off his creative side with the design of a Spider-man themed bathroom. As far as bathroom designs go, this is one piece that is sure to knock every comic book fan off of their feet. Movie goers will also be able to recognize some famous villains of the series: The Sandman, The Lizard, Doc Ock, and The Green Goblin.

Look out Spider-man!

RileyReplicas also showcases a couple of rare comics that showcase Spider-man’s black costume, along with a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15. If you’re looking for interesting bathroom ideas, this is one creative path to wander down!

Set your phasers to stun- err, wrong universe. However, if this wall doesn’t get your “spidey sense” tingling, you don’t know how much danger you’re in. Between the Lizard’s gaze, Sandman’s porous fist bursting through the wall, Doc Ock’s two tentacles blindly tapping their way around to find a weak spot, and the jack-o’-lantern bomb from the Green Goblin in mid flight – if you really were Spider-man, you’d be in trouble!

Both Venom and Spider-man action figures pose for a quick snap.

The brilliant brick wall isn’t the only art piece on show in this bathroom. Most of the bathroom furniture is also decked out as well! There are a couple of trapezoidal shelves that show off a couple figurines of Venom and a boxed version of Spider-man. The white webbing that accents these shelves has a sort of “comic book” authenticity to it that fits perfectly in this bathroom. Even the mirror has some of this webbing accenting the corners of the mirror.

The designer of this bathroom shows off two particularly rare comic books off in a haphazard alignment inside two black picture frames. These frames also feature the webbing used on most of the other bathroom.

Finally, if you look at the toilet, the toilet seat cover is a bright, vibrant red that matches the trash bin close by, and one of the hand towels sitting on top of the toilet reservoir.

Two particularily rare framed Spider-man comic books.

Matching Spider-man’s signature colors, the floor mat and the other hand towel sitting next to the red towel are both colored a powder blue.

Even the toilet is properly themed!

This wraps up a brilliantly designed bathroom that’s sure to WOW the next comic book fan expecting to walk into a “normal” bathroom. Even if you’re not into comics, it’s impossible to not admire the amount of thought, work, and craftsmanship that went into this remodel.

Why You Should Consider a Bathroom Library

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Is your bathroom a cell, or an escape?

Is this relaxing, or is this paying a visit to the local newsstand?

Is this relaxing, or is this paying a visit to the local newsstand?

Bathrooms aren’t typically thought of as places to just “get away,” which is unfortunate, because where else in your home do you get so much privacy? Turning on the television in your living room isn’t really an escape, because you are still surrounded by distractions. Reading in bed isn’t really an escape, because your spouse is probably right there with you, and can pull your attention away from your book at any moment.

Color Combination Ideals For An Amazing New Bathroom Feeling

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

When walking in to their bathroom, the last thing a person wants to see is the drab color combination. The wrong color combination, whether it be boring old white or something bright that just doesn’t fit anymore, can turn what was supposed to be a pleasant time getting ready to go out on a date or relaxing in the tub into nothing but shear chaos; thinking about what went wrong and what other possible color combinations are out there.

Don’t worry though because it is not the end of the world. There are lots of color options available to your bathroom remodel; just ask the author of this lovely article on the subject!

It is often a rule of thumb to not choose too many colors as it will take away from the calm feeling that most bathrooms give off; often three colors is the optimal choice. A good place to start would be selecting the main color; the color that is going to be the center and backdrop of your bathroom remodel. Choose a color that you like and would be good with seeing it every day. Once the main color is chosen, accent colors should then be picked that are complementary to the main color. It is also a good idea to choose colors that seem to go with your existing fixtures such as the bathroom vanity.

If you are feeling adventurous and bold, a high contrast scheme of something with pop, blue and yellow might be a choice to consider. If this is not what you are going for then a monochromatic scheme might be the best choice for you. When dealing with this type of scheme it is idea to choose one color and then to use different intensities of the same color in the rest of the room.

No matter what color scheme you may choose, get ready for the look of a new bathroom to keep you entertained and content for many years to come.

A Renovation Project You Will Love

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Rather than taking many steps back and vouching to remodel a bathroom with a more traditional design, many homeowners are making upgrades to their boudoir for a more modern take on the average space. Designers are constantly coming up with new ways to stylize a home, using modern bathroom vanities, sinks, and even toilets.

For example, modern lighting systems are often found in a “wall sconce” or hanging light style. These commonly feature simple yet elegant designs, and many come with dimmer-switch options and other modern features.

Want to Make That Big, Empty Bathroom Glow?

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

If you share a bathroom, you know that fighting over sink space is a common  problem. The solution to your debacle is almost certainly  double bathroom vanities. A great double bathroom vanity will make it so you and your partner  don’t need to worry about bumping into one another while trying to get at the sink.

The bathroom vanity, if fitting, will make a bathroom truly feel  “complete.” Aside from being nice to look  at, these invaluable bathroom features are also very useful with their allotted storage  space. These vanities provide ample storage space beneath the sink, and large bathroom vanities provide plenty of surface area on the countertop to keep your toiletries and other necessities. All things considered, from the countertop to the sink to  the storage unit, your double bathroom vanity will be both beautiful and very  functional.

Double bathroom vanities  give you a multitude of options.

A quick Google search should yield myriad results, from a wide number of reputable online retailers. There are so many types of vanities, so many options available to you, that you should take your time and take all possible considerations into account. The material of the double bathroom vanity is of the utmost importance, and wood is a classic choice. As far as wood options go, you can choose from rich mahogany, delicate and charming ash, strong teak, and sturdy oak. Wood bathroom vanities are quite ornate and decorative in comparison to metal and glass vanities.

Modern vanities are also available, in metals such as copper or steel. Often, the vessel sink is either metal or glass. Metal vanities are slightly more difficult to take care of than ordinary wood vanities, despite their sleek beauty. However, if properly taken care of, your metal double bathroom vanity is durable enough to last a lifetime.

If you are looking for bathroom mirrors, you will find that the modern varieties generally come without frames. There are a number of options as far as sheet cuts are concerned, including simple rectangular shapes and other, more interesting designs. Many bathroom mirrors come complete with track lights or diffuser lights. These lights are generally very easy to install, and can be purchased separately from your large bathroom vanities, though it’s cheaper to buy them together.

Yet another reason double vanities are so great is that, despite being at least twice as useful as regular vanities, they only cost a little bit more. Paying the little extra is well worth it, as you’ll enjoy enhanced space, less sink related conflicts with the people you live with, and less stress overall.  Besides, large bathroom vanities are often just as attractive and decorative as single bath vanities, if not more so.

Many modern vanities also feature stainless steel towel rails for even more space saving bathroom efficiency and storage. These rails often serve as trim for the utilitarian and well designed cabinets.  It’s the little details like this that truly make the most of large bathroom vanities, and make them the perfect appliance to decorate your bathroom and improve its functionality.

Though many modern vanities can be quite expensive, with a little persistence and research you can surely find a fantastic bargain. Most online retailers offer highly competitive prices, and some will match the prices of their competitors. Shopping online has other perks, as well: many major vanity retailers offer free shipping on bath vanities, so you won’t even have to leave the house to get a great deal. It’s easy to find large bathroom vanities online at factory direct pricing, and if you’re still not satisfied, look into clearance bathroom vanities on these websites or on community sale websites like E-bay or Craigslist.
