My Bathroom Remodel--Before and After
By DIY Maven
We started this bathroom remodel last summer, and since it's been done for months, I thought it was about time to post some pics!
The morning we decided to start the project, MWT got right to work. He had the room mostly gutted by the time I pulled out my camera. Although, this is a shot of what it pretty much looked like before.
How To: Make a Mini-Snake for Your Bathroom Drain.
By Chrisjob
Tiny plumbing problems in the kitchen or bathroom sink may require the work of a professional, OR, you may be able to get them figured out with one of these: a handmade mini-snake for minor plumbing drama. This simple combo of some thin stainless steel wire and a pair of needlenose pliers might just de-gunk your drains, and then stores easily for future use.

The Fluid Faucet by Kohler, Doubles as a Drinking Fountain.
By Chrisjob
Nope, the Fluid Faucet by Kohler is not the first take on the turn-your-faucet-into-a-drinking-fountain option (see here and here), but it's likely the first modern, integrated approach. It maintains a fully positional "nose" to aim the water exactly where you need: towards the sink for washing, around 75-degrees for drinking, and parallel to the sink for squirting water all over your roommates.
Natural Drain Uncloggers
By ModHomeEcTeacher
Admittedly, we were raised on commercials for toxic drain cleaners. Every household had the under-the-sink skull and crossbones drain and toilet bowl cleaners containing lye and acid. You were thought wimpy if you didn't pour Roto-Rooter down the drain. » READ MORE
The Disappearing Bathroom

Now you see it....
By Pavel, the 'Oneself' isn't a bathroom but a wall with a series of slide outs that reveal bathroom ammenties. It totally reminds me of Bruce Willis's apartment/pod in The Fifth Element.

Toilet Paper Gone Wild!
By DIY Maven
Who says you can’t find inspiration in a roll of toilet paper? Note that the tissue is pink as well. Since such ‘girly’ t.p. doesn’t appeal to everybody, the same idea against a more colorful background with a white and grey, blue, etcetera t.p. wave could look equally funky and fun as well.

Tetris Tiles.
By ChrisjobWhether you want to add them piece by piece or "cheat" by nabbing the mosaic sheets, tiling will never be this fun again.
"For years people have asked us to come up with a fun and colourful alternative to normal everyday tiles. So in 2007 we set about making Tetris Tiles and testing them in our friends homes. After a series of compliments and “where did you get those?” we knew that there was enough of a demand to get started. And so here we » READ MORE

Just finished this mat to go with my Bathroom Redo. It has a
peculiar providence, I was mooching around the CB2 website, doing a
little window shopping and I spotted this fellow for $39.95 
Me: 'Hey, I had that idea too!' I just didn't get around to doing it!"
My Sweetie: "So you're saying they stole your idea from inside your head?"
Me, kinda indignant: "YEAH"
Him: "Would you like me to make you a tinfoil hat?"
Crazy aside, here's how I » READ MORE
