Using Shelves and Baskets to Organize your Bathroom Accessories

Using Shelves and Baskets to Organize your Bathroom Accessories

Do you have old baskets in the shed you are thinking about putting in the yard sale or garbage? Stop; you can redecorate the baskets. Redecorating the items is easy, which you can create an organizer for your bathroom. In addition, you can fill in wasted space giving you more room to store other bathroom items in your cabinets.

Did you put some old shelves in the yard sale? Did the items sell, or do you still have them? If you still have the items, pick a wall that you need to do something with in the bathroom and gear up that creative mind.

Of course, you will need to re-paint the shelves before creating your organizer. You can choose any type of paint, including flat paints. Spray the shelves, let dry, and spray paint the shelves again. If the wood is damaged, chipped, etc, you may need to sand first.

Enamel ceramic, or whatever paint you may have under the cupboard will work for this.  After the shelves are dry, give them a good look over and decide if they are too plain or do you want to add something more to them. Remember don’t overdue it.

When choosing your colors and shades, be sure you already have a theme so they will match what is already done, you don’t want to waste your time. If you want more color to your shelves, use another color and stamp or even draw a design on it, painting it to your desired color.

The shelves are good and dry so now mount them on your wall where you want.  I like to skater them so they aren’t all in a row. A lot depends on how much room you want to use for this project. Once you have decided on the area and the order you want to mount go ahead and mount them.

Now you have created extra space and need to put something attractive on them.  Remember again here you need to be creative using baskets can be fun.  Baskets come in many different sizes; shapes and colors so set them on the shelves placing the sizes and shapes wherever you like.  We have the baskets picked out that, we’re going to use so be creative again and decorate them.  Baskets are nice to use because they are easy to clean, just wash them with warm soapy water and let dry.  The moisture in the bathroom is good for them it helps keep them from drying out.

Don’t like the color of these old baskets let’s decorate them now.  You can paint baskets and decorate just like you did your shelves.  Go ahead the paint won’t hurt and when finished just get the clear color spray can out and spray them to set the colors in.  Got the baskets painted and they are to plain; set back onto the shelves and see where and what you want to add to them next.  You can stamp and put stickers on baskets too just like you did your shelves so think and be creative with them. Make your wall something for people to talk about and be proud of all the hard work you’ve done with your time.

The shelves and baskets are done now so what are you going to do with the baskets.  Don’t worry you can fill the baskets with a variety of items to clear up space in your cabinets. Use one of your newly decorated baskets for all that nail care stuff you have in a bag in the cupboard.

When you’ve finished decorating your bathroom, and want to add something else, like maybe a flower to the room for that bare spot on the rack or shelf behind the stool. You can take a clay flowerpot and use ceramic paint to paint your pot it takes awhile for the clay to draw so let it set best for 24 hours. Take a flower stamp or something small that you used on your other patterns and stamp around the flowerpot, using the same colors.

The Bathroom Accessories that make you relax

The Bathroom Accessories that make you relax

Do you have a couple of rooms upstairs away from everyone that is being used for storage?  Want to do something different and have a place to relax.  I have some ideas that might help you with your new project.

Put a large sliding glass door between the two rooms.  In one corner, two steps up set your extra large tub.  How about add a skylight in the ceiling to let in the daylight during the day and the stars at night.  Don’t forget to add mirrors around you tub with lots of candles on the ledge.  Candles are so pretty reflecting off the mirrors.  Maybe you might want more light so put one or two fancy light fixtures on one wall or in the ceiling.

If you have a large bathroom, why not install a fireplace on the opposite side of your glass. A fireplace will add more of a romantic and relaxing sensation to your rooms.  On the ledge add some more candles and maybe put a picture over them to go with your theme.

Always chose a theme before you start your new project.  Having a theme will help you to choose your colors and the mood you want to have when enjoyed your time.

You can also install a large cabinet at the end of your sink. Set a microwave and mini-fridge in it.  You’ll need something to keep that wine cold while your relaxing.

Have another space in the extra bathroom.  Set a chair in it to sit while putting on your lotions.  You’ll want a lot of lotions and oils along with some smelly bubbles to help you relax and set the mood you are in.  Remember they should all be the same scent so that the smells all drift from one room to the next.

When choosing your carpet be sure to get a natural color you might want to chance you color later on and not the carpet.  The sink, counter, stool and tub should all match too but try not to have the same colors as your flooring.  To much of one color will make the your room dull and not exciting to be in.  It will also make you depressed sometimes if everything is the same color.  So, mix and match.  When choosing your tile make sure it is small maybe 1x1.  The small the tile the less change you have of slipping when getting out of the tub and down the steps.


Like to read and relax at the same time.  Set a basket near the chair and lay some outdated magazines in it.  Get yourself a bath pillow to fit one end of the tub and a magazine pour in the bubble with a glass of wine and read.  Sound cozy doesn’t it.



Be creative when organizing your new bathroom.  Set a plant on a stand or even one corner of your tub.  With the skylights, they will get enough sunlight and the moisture is good for them too.

Have more space and don’t know what to do with it.  Put a towel rack in to put those entire special and fancy towel and washcloths you have in the cupboard.  Fancy towels always make a person feel special along with all the oils and bubbles.

Once you have all your bath accessories organized and put away get that fancy and comfortable sleepwear you’ve always wanted and use it only when your in your own special rooms.

Putting lotion on and your new sleepwear will make the final relaxation come to and you can than sit back and enjoy the new you.  Have fun and enjoy.

That Bare Wall Benefiting from Bathroom Accessories

That Bare Wall Benefiting from Bathroom Accessories

How to fill in the blanks with rubber stamps:
Is there a bare wall in your bathroom? Is the wall bare so that you cannot find a theme to match? Have you considered wallpaper, yet nothing seems to fit? Why not put your creativeness and ideas to work and make your own wallpaper design.  I bet no one else will have one like it.

Before you get started, decide what you really want to put on a bare wall you are trying to cover.  Make sure you are creative and try to use the same theme you are working with, such as birds. This can be done in any room of you house where you have a wall and want to do something different.

You’ll need to shop around and find some rubber stamps or stencils; you can even draw the design if you want. The rubber stamps, stencils, all of these things can be found in the craft department of most department stores. Be sure to grab the brushes you’ll need; the variety pack of brushes is nice since you have different sizes and styles all in one.

Usually in the same department you’ll be able to purchase the paints you’ll need, use ceramic paint, it comes in many colors and shades to accommodate your needs. Clean up is a breeze just using warm and soapy water to clean up the paint to change from one color to another is all you need to do.

Whenever doing a project like this, you should do it twice to be sure you have the right design and colors that you’ll want to use. If you need more stamps or stencils just go to another department store, wherever craft supplies are sold, they all sell different ones.  Cover the area that you are going to stamp on with freezer paper. The paper you can buy wherever groceries are sold, usually in the meat department. When putting up the paper just stick a thumbtack on the corner and a few places in the center to hold it in place.

Now you are ready to make the first copy of your wall project. Go for it and start stamping away.

It is hard to place everything so they are exactly spaced but don’t worry you can fill in those empty spots later. When going from one color to another, if the colors are going to touch make sure that the first color completely dries? When finished, let dry and look at it for a couple of days to make sure this is what you want. Then go on to the permanent design.

How to remove the paper?
Now you’re ready to do your wall, taking down the paper carefully so you don’t forget your color combinations. Keep it for a pattern to work from. Remember no two projects are the same. That’s the fun of the whole project; no one will have one like it.

Paint your wall in the color of your choice making it a light color to match the colors you are going to stamp on it. Using your pattern, you have set aside; start stamping again on the original wall. Again, make sure each color is completely dry before stamping another color so they do not touch each other. If do not like the pattern you’ve done just fill in the spaces with something else or add a new color somewhere. No matter how many times you use this technique you’ll never be able to do two projects the same. This is the tactic known as creativity.

Organizing your Bathroom Accessories

Organizing your Bathroom Accessories

Is your bathroom unorganized and cluttered.  Let’s see what we can do to change your problem. Stand back and look for wasted space corners along with the cupboards. There are ways to rearrange things and organize them to give you more room and space as well.

What do you have under that sink?
Do you have a lot of empty space down there? Lets try adding a shelf to fill it up and not have to stack everything on top of each other. Take some measurements and decide just how high you need the space to be on the bottom for cleaning supplies or maybe that package of toilet paper you bought that was on sale. Mark a spot with a marker on all four corners where you want to put a top shelf.  Places like Lowes and Marnards even Home Depot has different size shelving and colors too.  Take your measurements with you and some places will even cut it for you so all you have to do is mount it when returning home. Tell the salesperson what your trying to do and they can recommend the mount supplies you’ll need.  Know how to us a drill, oh that’s ok if you don’t a screw driver will work just as good only it is harder to do. Take a small nail and make a hole where you want to mount the shelving units.  Using the drill or screwdriver install, the mounting brackets and lay down your new shelf on top of it.  Now that wasted space has a shelf in it and you can put the small items on it towards the top.

Take a look at your nearest hardware or department store usually Rubbermaid has a lot of ideas to fill in the area under your sink. Get some small drawers and stack them in there on one side; you can put your soaps and small items in them even your extra wash cloths and hand towels will fit in these drawers. Rubbermaid also makes shelves that stack on top of each other that you can put in this space. You can make space to store nice towels and other bathroom accessories. Rubbermaid is easy to clean just fill up the tub or take outside and use the garden hose on them.  Warm soapy water and a hose to rinse will do a great job and the mess is all outside.

How about the counter space around your sink it can be organized to by just placing a basket in one corner and laying that lose hair brush with the comb in it. You can place your room deodorizer and liquid hand soap in it too. Everything is all in one corner now and all you have to do is reach for it without going through everything to find them.

Organizing your tub and shower area is a breeze as well. Rubbermaid also makes many different things you can put in them to hold that bar of soap and hair shampoo and conditioner. Hang a shower caddy over you showerhead and put you razor along with the shaving cream, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel maybe can be put there too. This keeps them in a handy to reach area and off the shower floor of off the ledge of your tub.  Your bar soap can dry easier with the holes letting air to it so the bar isn’t lying in water and wasting it.

You can also get corner shelves that have suction cups to stick on the wall in the corners.  These are nice and more places to put things. Hang a shower mirror in the shower to make it easy for that man of yours to shave and shower all the same time.

Your sink is all organized with more space and you can find everything under there now.  You can take a shower or bath without having to worry of slipping on the soap when you get in or out. Enjoy your new space and have fun with your new project.

Take a bath and relax with Bathroom Accessories

Take a bath and relax with Bathroom Accessories

Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoying time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use when relaxing in that big garden tub of yours. Lets talk about some of the things that can make your bathing more relaxing and enjoyable.

How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation time.  There are many different kinds of tubs out now to fit everyone’s needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, they can be very relaxing too, just add some things around it to make it what you like. Fill up the tub with your favorite smelly bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water and all those bubbles around you make you feel special and important.

How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
 Do you like getting romantic in the tub?  Try the garden tub it is a good one for small areas and large enough for the second person to join you. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into your floor area.  Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is always relaxing to everyone. Turn the music on a good easy listening music channel or insert a CD into it, maybe an mp3 player too. Garden tubs and music is just one type of tub to spice up your day.

When installing a tub for romance and relaxation be sure to think about where you’re going to install it and the sitting around it. Your décor means a lot when you’re trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you’re going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a wall to make a place for the stool and a shower separate from your tub. Putting the sink in the same room with the tub is ok, since you can color and coordinate the colors to both rooms to match the bedroom.

Put mirrors around your tub; box the tub in putting inserts at one end for that glass of wine you might want to have while relaxing.  Add candles so when they are lit they can glow into the mirrors.  Sounds romantic doesn’t it.

Install Garden tubs with jets in it.  Jets are a good way to get that massage you’ve been wanting.  Some of them even have heaters connected so your water doesn’t get cold.  Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there it can be done so don’t stay in there to long with the jets on they can make you to relaxed.  Again, don’t forget to add the mirrors and candles.

Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to dry off and add that lotion you might have for your feet. After relaxing in that tub, you need to smell good afterwards.  A little bit of body lotion goes a long way. Match your lotion smells to go with the oil you’ve used to take the smells with you when you’re done. Body lotions are affordable; as well, you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc online to help you save money.

How to find oils, bathtubs, candles, lotions, and more:
Check out the department stores; maybe go on line to check out the candles, lotions, and your oils. Try different smells and enjoy.

How about using one of your cute baskets for all your foot care that you have to dig out of the two or three spaces. The cute basket will store all your foot care in one place, which makes it much easier for you when it comes time to soak those tired feet after a long day at work. If you have items stored in your basket, why not add a few more baskets and make up a floral garden.

How to arrange flowers for your baskets:
How about making and artificial arrangement of flowers to fill one of your baskets, just take those fancy washcloths you have in the closet that you don’t want anyone to use. Roll them up like you would napkins for the dining room table and line the basket with the clothes. Now arrange those silk flowers in the center. This will make a nice flower in that dark room and they’re easy to take care of too.

Your wall is finished and you’ve used those old shelves and baskets that were taking up space in the garage. You now have all you nail and foot care organized with a flower in the center.  Baskets are handy, since you can fill them up with your favorite items. Of course, you can store the baskets filled with items in the back of your cabinets, especially items you no longer use, yet want to keep. Keep in mind however when searching for the baskets it can become stressful, since as you add other items it pushes the basket back further.

Baskets make great organizers. In addition, you can create nice shelves to organize your bathroom items as well.

How to make shelves:
Take some plywood, cut it to fit, and acquire a few nails, a hammer, drill, bits, etc, and you are on your way to creating a nice shelf. You can run the shelves in a row also, which means you can use several pieces of plywood to make your shelves. The shelves make nice organizers, since you can store towels, cleaning supplies, bathroom items, and more.

Before you cut the plywood, you will need to measure the wood, starting at the corners of your wall and up to the taps. You want to keep the holes for your nails apart around 16-inches, depending on the size. You want to select a wall area where the studs are sturdy and can hold the weight. You can tap on the wall to find studs, otherwise you can purchase stud sensors at your local hardware.

How do I mount the shelves?
You will need anchors made of plastic materials. The anchors you will push into the holes that you have drilled into the wall. Once you tighten the screws, it will lock your anchor in place. If you choose to use other types of anchors, such as the metal stars, the anchors will buckle its finger, folding back and clamping it to secure.

Mounting shelves is easy. You use common sense and the right materials and you shouldn’t have a problem. If you want to securely mount your shelves, consider the steel cleat anchors. You can also place a strip of wood beneath the shelves to mount. Screw the wood in place. If the shelves do not have wooden strips, then you can choose slots, such as the keyholes. You will need a router and unique jig to fit. In short, you have a wide array of tools to mount and fasten your shelves in place. It is your choice. If you are not familiar with mounting materials, go online and research the products before starting your project.

How to choose knobs and hooks

Choosing bathroom accessories such as knobs and robe hooks is not easy. You have a selection from Dove, Musa, Antique, Aranjeuz, Austin, Barcelona, Cabin, Belvedere, Cameo, Channel, Cannes, Catalina, Chenille and more to select. City Temple, Contessa, Cosmopolitan, Dominic, Designer, Drop and Elizabeth created a nice line of knobs and robe hooks as well.

When choosing knobs and hooks your best bet is to reduce your options. For instance, do you like gold? Do you like gold combined with chrome? Would your prefer decorative styles? Do like the mirror look? Considering your taste, style etc can help you narrow down your choice.

In addition, you want to consider your bathroom. Do you have a country setting? Do you have a regal bath? Is your bath Victorian Style? Are you purchasing knobs and hooks for a kid bathroom? What colors and patterns are in your bathroom?

If you have regal or master bathroom you may like the gold knobs and hooks. Jas has a nice line of knobs and hooks. Jas made the creative gold robe hooks, which go well with a variety of colors. You might have a wall mirror, glass cub, hooks, shelves, and racks in the background of your bath area. In this instance, I would reconsider the gold, unless you have gold trimmings around your bathroom accessories.

If you have gold trimmings, the gold will look great. If you do not have gold trimmings, you may want to add a few other bathroom items. For instance, you can purchase gold bath bars, gold-trimmed holders made of glass, gold and glass soap dish, bath tissue holders, vanity glass shelves trimmed in gold and so on. Toss in a gold towel ring and you are off to a good start.

How do I choose knobs and hooks for antique bathrooms?
If you have an antique environment, you may like Pacific’s line of bathroom accessories. Antique shades, tones, etc could benefit from the oil rub bronze hooks. Satin nickel will also go well in antique bathrooms. Toss in a Bronze Oil Rub ring, antique white soap dish and toothbrush holder, and perhaps a vanity glass mirror and there you have it.

The rustic gold are nice items that go well in antique environments. The Antique Bronze Burn shades are nice as well. Toss in a rustic, bronze, or antique vanity glass shelf and your patterns will blend well. In addition, you can add a bath tissue holder; towel ring/bar and you are off to enhance your antique bathroom.

Aranjeuz makes a nice line of products, which you could blend in antique regions. It depends on your style, yet you could blend the gold trim with chrome polish hooks to set off an antique atmosphere. The brush nickel mixed with gold is nice as well.

How do I choose modern patterns and colors?
Dominic collections have a nice selection of hooks. You may like the chrome polished items designed by German crafters. Wind has a nice selection of modern designs as well.

How do I choose bathroom accessories for Victorian baths?
Victorian style baths often benefit from Satin Nickel shades, brass and chrome polish, and so on. Victorian style is designed to bring home legends of the past. Victorian also honors the traditional patterns. Most Victorian bathrooms can benefit from the shades listed, as well as other items that offset porcelain. If you have Victorian bath, likely you have porcelain tubs and sinks, which you want to match the colors when searching for bathroom accessories. Presently, Victorian collections have a sale, offering you up to 27% discount.

Installing New Bathroom Faucets

Installing New Bathroom Faucets

Would you like to save money, make your bathroom look better, and be able to take pride in the fact that you did it yourself?  Decided to start a home improvement project can be a little freighting but with the right tools and information, you will soon be on your way.  You will have the confidence to do it yourself and know that you have done a good job.

The first step to getting started with your new faucet project is getting the information to do the job.  You need to consult the web and/or educational books to make sure that you have all that you need to make this process happen.

Once you have all your information compiled and feel ready to undertake your home improvement project, you need to look at all the different faucet manufacturers for the best quality for the money you are willing to spend.  You will want to purchase a faucet that is durable, as well as, blending well with your existing bathroom accessories.

You now have the perfect faucet purchased.  It is sitting in its box awaiting its new home on your bathroom vanity.  You need to make sure that you have the correct tools available.  This would include:

A basin cock wrench or pipe wrench
Philips-head screwdriver
Flat-head screwdriver
Slip-joint and adjustable pliers
Adjustable wrench
Bathroom caulk and caulk gun (plumber’s putty will also work)
New flexible faucet supply tubes
Thread sealer

Your next step in this process would be to remove the old faucet.  To do this, you will need to shut off your water supply either under the sink or at the main water-supply valve.  The hot and cold water supply tubes will need to be loosened.  At the faucet stem, loosen and remove the compression nut with a basin cock wrench or pipe wrench.  To remove the faucet now, all that you need to do is remove the nut holding the faucet to the sink.  The faucet should lift off.

Chrome-plated brass hardware may start to decay after time so you may wish to change that as well.  A bucket should be placed under the drain to contain excess water still in the drain.  A new stopper may come with your new faucet. If this is the case, you might like to change that also.  This will give you a consistent look on your new design.

You will need to wrap your faucet stems with a thread sealer.  Before inserting the faucet stems into the correct holes install the rubber gasket to the base of the faucet.  Don’t worry if your faucet did not come with a rubber gasket.  A bead of caulk will do the trick.  When you have the faucet in position, you can thread the washer, nut, and mounting nut on to the faucet tailpiece.  Tighten these nuts by hand.  

You may now attach your supply tubes to the faucet stems.  Make sure that you apply thread sealer to the shut off valve threads.  Tighten the coupling nuts to the supply stems.  Be careful not to over-tighten the nuts.  Reconnect the hot and cold water supply stems.

You are now ready to clean the supply tubes to your new faucet.  To do this you need to remove the aerator from the faucet.  Now turn on the water.  You will need to check for leaks while the water is running.  If there are none, shut off the water and replace the aerator.

Now sit back and enjoy your new bathroom faucet. You can take pride in the fact that you just installed it yourself.

You will need to wrap your faucet stems with a thread sealer.  Before inserting the faucet stems into the correct holes install the rubber gasket to the base of the faucet.  Don’t worry if your faucet did not come with a rubber gasket.  A bead of caulk will do the trick.  When you have the faucet in position, you can thread the washer, nut, and mounting nut on to the faucet tailpiece.  Tighten these nuts by hand.  

You may now attach your supply tubes to the faucet stems.  Make sure that you apply thread sealer to the shut off valve threads.  Tighten the coupling nuts to the supply stems.  Be careful not to over-tighten the nuts.  Reconnect the hot and cold water supply stems.

You are now ready to clean the supply tubes to your new faucet.  To do this you need to remove the aerator from the faucet.  Now turn on the water.  You will need to check for leaks while the water is running.  If there are none, shut off the water and replace the aerator.

Now sit back and enjoy your new bathroom faucet. You can take pride in the fact that you just installed it yourself.

How to Design Framed Mirrors in Bathroom Accessories

How to Design Framed Mirrors in Bathroom Accessories

Did you know that you could invent your own-framed mirrors? Instead of heading to the store and purchasing pricey mirrors, you can use material around your home, or purchase affordable products to design your own mirror. Need help:

How to invent your own mirror:
Designing your own mirrors is the start of creating a completely new bathroom. You can use material around the home, such as photo frames. Try to choose an embellishing prototype. The embellished frame will make a great wall mirror, otherwise you can design tabletop mirrors, using it as a vanity. Vanities make nice displays, especially when you surround it with your favorite items, including perfumes and so on.

How do I choose textile?
Again, you will need a picture frame. You want a frame to fit the mirror. It depends on the size you want to accomplish, otherwise try choosing mirror and frames at with the amount of cm you need, which is around one-eighth-inch to a quarter inches. You will need an additional three to six centimeters, which equals around the same measurements.

How do I add a back?
You can use hardboard to add your backing. When choosing the board however, make sure that you match the board to the weight of the mirror. Rather, make sure that the cardboard will hold up the frame and mirror weight. Mirrors typically weigh approximately seven hundred fifty-g depending on the dimension. In this instance, you are making the quarter frame, so you will need to consider point zero/thirty two squares per m. If your mirror weighs more than 3-pounds, you will need a board to hold 1.6-kg per square foot. The thickness of the board then should be around one eight-inches. The mirror will fit into your rabbet, which you can have the glass cut at any glass shop, or mirror shop that specializes in glass products. If you want to use fancy material, purchase hardboards of equal size.

Once you have your materials together, you will need to fit the mirror onto the backing. The backing should slide into the groove cut, or wood joints. (Rabbet) Once you have inserted the parts, you will need to nail your brads mildly to avoid breaking your mirror, nailing it into the picture frame. If you intend to hang the mirror on your wall, you will need hangers, which you want to pivot.

How to choose mounting materials:
You will need your mirror, frame, short screws, corner brace, craft paper (Brown), dual-adhesive farmer tape, dust cover, hangers, a couple of mirror hangers, awl, jigsaw, knife, and additional screws to mount your frame.

Now that you have a basic idea, you can start creating your mirror. In short, it takes ten steps completely to create your framed mirror. To finish your mirror we recommend that you visit your local library and check out books to direct you. Otherwise, I will briefly walk you through the ten steps.

Your first step is to face your frame on the wrong side and secure your brace corners, fastening it transversely to connect with the milter corners. With your awl, create pilot holes in the back of your frame. Once you have created the holes, insert the screws. If you have purchased hardboard, or using cardboard cut the board so, that it matches the size or your mirror. Facedown, place the mirror inside your wood joints. Now you can place your hardboard/cardboard inside the wood joints and over your mirror. Brads should be inserted at this point, which should measure at two points five-cm at the intervals of your corners.

Next, use your tape to adhesive the frame, layering the tape at the outer edges of your frame and around three-mm. Do away with the paper cover. Now you are off to a great start of completing your mirror. Use your brown construction paper and cut five-cm, creating a strip extending a considerable distance than your picture frame. Once you have your paper over the backboard, you want to secure it. Use your construction tape. The last steps is to trim, mark, and measure to add your hangers.

How to install a toilet in Bathroom Accessories

How to install a toilet in Bathroom Accessories

When you want to install a toilet, it usually takes 10 minutes and a few minutes to mount the seat. To install a toilet seat, first you need to wax the bowl rings. This is important, since if you fail to do so, you are only expecting future problem. Do not wait for those problems, since you have options.

You can apply to wax bowl rings to apply a skilled toilet bowl. You want to place it where you want it, and move it to the tank. The tank will lead you to the toilet bowl, and you can move to attach the item and then level it to your point of return.

The starting point will take you to a new level, especially if you do not want to project a new flange. Flange is something you want to deal with, since it is the process of cleaning the toilet before you install the units. If you have previously clean the unit, why are you asking me why I need to ask you what is up.

How to mount your toilet and seat:
If you have a prior toilet seat used on the flange, you want to consider rings.  You can tell if this was the case due to there being some remains of an old wax bowl ring. In incident, this being the case you should take something and scrape it off. Afterwards I would suggest taking the toilet seat parts out for inspection. There are certain parts that you should place on the toilet or the foam packaging so it does not get dirty. This also helps to prevent chipping of the enamel. Generally, toilets come in two boxes one box containing the tank for the toilet then the bowl in the other box. Next, I would take the parts that you have, put them together making sure that all of them fit as intended. If you were just to try to place, everything got so far then came to the realization. The wrong time would increase the work you would have to do installing this new toilet.

 The wax bowl ring is an old-fashioned item that is still used to this very day. Even though there are some minor improvements that make it better then the older models. If you want, less trouble in setting this toilet up you should use a plastic flange. Those kinds of wax bowl rings seem to have less trouble in the bathroom. The only thing that the wax bowl does is seal the porcelain toilet to the flange. But if the toilet ever moves the seal would becomes broken this could be trouble cause gases for the sewer or water can leak out. Take in that this water would not be clear enough to drink. (Can someone say tap water?) Sometimes the leak cannot be detected because of the water dripping down. This can caused rotted floor structure and damage to ceilings in room below.

Toilets seats are easy to install. If you choose a quality toilet, it will augment your bathroom if you put on a toilet seat that attracts interest. Perhaps you like fish. If you like aquarium, you can purchase for around $7.99 a nice fish seat for your toilet. Go to Value City, or related stores to get the bargains.

Once you add your toilet and seat, you might want to purchase a rug to match. Shower curtains, window curtains, and other bathroom accessories can offset your environment. You can purchase toothbrush holders, cup, and other items at local stores or online.
