5 холодных рационализаторств ванной комнаты

Posted: 15 Jul 2010 05:34 PM PDT

Thanks to an increase in technology, the bathroom is no longer just for bathing. If you want yours to feel like a spa retreat or perhaps a movie theater (awesome, I know), then check out these 5 innovations taking bathrooms by storm.

#1 – Entertainment Technology

Perhaps you've envisioned lounging in the bathtub while watching the latest episode of The Real Housewives (sorry, I'm channeling myself here), or you'd like to jam out to some tunes while fixing your hair. That, my friends, can be done with a flat-screen TV and top-of-the-line sound system, both of which can now be installed right in your bathroom.

#2 – Radiant Heating

For those who dread that first step from you warm bed in the mornings only to be accosted by freezing cold bathroom floors, no problem! Get yourself some radiant heating. In addition to heating floors, it can also be used to heat towels as well. Now that's luxury.

#3 – Bathroom Fireplace

In keeping with the heat trend, why not install a warm and inviting fireplace? What used to be reserved for living and family rooms is now making its way into the bathroom as well. Not only would a fireplace encourage relaxation, but it can also rid those after-shower shivers.

#4 – Spa Tub, Shower or Steam Room

As bathrooms designs move away from necessity toward rest and relaxation, tubs and showers are taking on a spa-like feel. Now they offer features like multiple body sprays and jets. Plus, adding a steam room inside the bathroom is a viable option as well.

#5 – Open, Inviting Layouts

Another innovation in shower design: an open layout that allows the structure to become part of the room. This makes the bathroom feel more open and inviting while simultaneously encouraging lounging. Seriously.

If you're considering bringing your bathroom into the 21st century, there are a ton of interesting innovations to choose from. The sky's the limit.

Thanks, HGTV for the idea.

10 любимейших домов кино от HookedonHouses

Posted: 15 Jul 2010 04:50 PM PDT

Ever wonder what it would be like to rub elbows with the English upper-class in the sprawling estate from Atonement? Or have you fantasized about frolicking in the garden of the lakefront home in What Lies Beneath? Then you've come to the right place. Our friends at HookedonHouses have compiled a list of the most sought-after movie homes, and I just happened to pick my top 10. Are you ready for the Hollywood Home Walk of Fame?

#1 – The Break Up

You didn't have to follow the storyline to get why this dysfunctional couple was so upset over losing their Chicago condo. I'd go out on a limb and say that digs this nice smack-dab in the middle of the city are pretty hard to come by.

#2 – Mr. & Mrs. Smith

They may have been paid assassins, but the Smith home just screams traditional Americana. With spectacular lighting and interesting decorative touches (not to mention in-home secret weapon arsenals), this was one place to swoon over…along with Brad Pitt.

#3 – The Notebook

Besides the fact that the story behind this remodel was so heart-wrenchingly beautiful, the plantation from The Notebook is simply an architectural gem. The house used in the movie is actually Martin's Point Plantation (a real Wadmalaw Island plantation) in South Carolina.

#4 – What Lies Beneath

This movie may have scared the bejeezus out of you, but the breathtaking lakefront setting softened the blow a bit, right? The home was immaculately maintained and the surrounding landscape made the entire property seem so serene (minus the eerie ghost sightings, of course).

#5 – Down With Love

Yes, the over-the-top 1960's motif might be a little much, but the colors in this roomy apartment make me want to crank up the Spice Girls while painting my toenails. Oh, and the spiral staircase and outside patio are fun, too.

#6 – Sleepless in Seattle

This next one I chose for its location and cute factor. Who wouldn't live in a cozy little shack to be this close to the water?

#7 – Atonement

It might be hard to feel at home in an estate where elegance is far more important than comfort. But hey, Stokesay Court, the private English manor used in the fabulously chilling Atonement, is simply beyond spectacular—and more than worth the mention. P.s. we love the wardrobes!

#8 – Hanging Up

The movie may have gotten wretched reviews, but this Spanish-style home adds a bit of unexpected charm to a lackluster storyline. The kitchen might just be the focal point.

#9 – Practical Magic

A movie about the secret life of witches requires a setting equally as magical as its storyline—and this home is certainly that. An 1850s Victorian cottage, it's made that much better by the beautiful New England surroundings.

#10 – A Christmas Story

I'm a sucker for kitschy 1950s nostalgia. This home is the epitome of old-school suburbia—minus the leg lamp, of course. My, how far we've come…

What would make your Hollywood Home Walk of Fame? I'm curious to hear your suggestions.
