Bright idea–sort of

Here's proof, once again, that some people have way too much time on their hands: Someone has just invented glow-in-the-dark toilet paper. Now you may be thinking, Why it world would anyone need such a thing? Can't they simply flip on the bathroom light or just feel for the roll? Well, let me just say that you're overthinking this just a tad. It's glow-in-the-dark toilet paper! Not universal health care, although they both might meet the same fate. Anyway, I found the whole idea of glowing toilet paper absolutely hilarious. It's called the, Glow-in-the-Dark Loo Roll, and it's sold by an on-line retailer in England. (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.) Potty on, Wayne!

Good-bye soggy soap

While on a remodeling job recently, I struck up a conversation with the tile contractor, who was busily tiling the shower walls. Well, he was busily tiling until I showed up and started asking questions.

We talked about thinset mortar, tile sizes and patterns, and the advantages of using cement backerboard, as opposed to moisture-resistant drywall, as a substrate.

Then we discussed a seemingly mundane subject: where to mount the soap dish.

As it turns out, soap-dish placement is quite a hot-button topic for many homeowners.

Italian bathing beauty

The Italian-made Novellini Cristal bathtub is unlike any tub I've ever seen. Its clean, contemporary design is positively geometric, with lines and angles converging to create a beautiful, comfortable fixture. Oh, and by the way, it's made of clear glass!
