One of the things I love about the concept of smaller homes is the idea that they can be small, but awesome! If you want to include a little bit of luxury in your bathroom remodel, try this:
Towel Warmers are pretty nifty little gadgets if you ask me. They not only look great, but they work great too. I’ve installed them in some projects, but only had the opportunity to enjoy one once at a nice hotel in New Zealand. I know, I know…poor baby.
The last model I installed was the one above, from Amba. When I did some research, it seemed that they were the front-runner in the wide-world of towel warmers. Here is anothet of their models:
How cool is that? If I recall, the cost of these really isn’t that bad, depending on the model and the finish of course.
If you’re remodeling a bathroom, it might be worth a look! What could be nicer than stepping out of the shower on a cold morning and wrapping yourself in a nice, warm, fluffy, towel?
Sounds good to me!

Of course, comments here are welcome too!
I’m a Florida Boy, born and raised in the Sunshine State. For Florida contractors the words “basement” and “swimming pool” are the same. But I know that’s not true for most of you who read this blog. I envy the extra space you have, if not the icy winter mornings.
So I wanted to highlight a cool product here at RG:Select that you basement folks might find interesting.
This is a basement egress system from Wellcraft Egress Systems. Systems like these are a great way to bring natural light into your basement, but also meet important life-safety codes for emergency egress. That word, egress, always bugged me…why don’t we just say ESCAPE? That’s what we mean, right?
So yes, emergency escape, in the event of a fire or any circumstance that blocks the use of the exit stairs, you can just cilmb out the window.
The installation of these modular systems seems pretty straightforward. Putting a window in where you don’t already have one, on the other hand, could be the job for a professional. That depends on how comfortable you are with concrete and masonry work. Cutting into your foundation walls is a job that would normally require an engineers approval, or it would be here, in Florida, if we had basements!

Unfortunately, I ran out of gas before completing this! The first post on this puppy will be up soon!
You’ll love this Specialty! We’re going to talk about cool stuff; the things builders, architects, and designers call “selections”. Things like:
- Floor Coverings
- Countertops
- Fixtures (plumbing, electrical, etc.)

We’ll eventually cover it all! I’ll give you the feedback, run-down, and the inside scoop on what goes into a project!
And, for those of us who like and need to save money, I’ll show you tricks and sources to get the good stuff for less!
