Decorating The Empty Spaces In Your Bathroom With Accessories

Do you have extra space in your bathroom and nothing to put in it? Fill it up by fixing up that old straight back chair you have in the shed.

It’s easy to decorate an old chair and make it turn into the talk of time. Take the old chair or bench you have in the shed; go to the thrift shop, goodwill store or even to a yard sale. Sometimes you can buy the old chairs very cheap. People are always setting their old kitchen chairs on the curb, stop and ask if you can have it; they”ll probably give it to you instead of the garbage man. +How to choose your pattern? Decide first what decor and colors you”re going to use. Be sure to go along with what you have already in there. If you own birds, you can place a birdhouse on your chair. Be creative and think about it before starting your new project. People will notice it everytime they go into the bathroom. Besides filing up an empty spot, you can use it at the same time to put your socks on. Getting out of the shower or tub, a chair comes in handy to sit on while putting on your shoes or even while drying your feet off. Decorating is easy and fun and you”ll be proud of what you have accomplished.

When redoing a chair or bench you first need a theme, decide on the colors and then get to work. +How to remove paint? All that old paint or varnish needs to be removed. You can find paint and varnish at most stores where paint is sold. After all, after the old paint is removed, sand it down to smooth out the nick and scratches.

The paint on the chair itself needs to be enamel so the moisture can be wiped off easily. Paint your chair; making sure, you use small amounts on the brush to keep it from running and making streaks in the paint when it dries. Let it dry for a couple of days before doing anything more to it. +How to choose additional bathroom accessories for your chair: You can purchase stencils; rubber stamps or even draw where you want to put a flower or etc. on it. Using ceramic paint in the color or shade of your choice put your design on it. Make it simple but colorful and be creative. You can buy ceramic paint and the brushes to use in any department store that sells craft supplies. When choosing your colors make sure the shades blend in with what you already have on the walls.

When your chair or bench is done stand back and view what you have accomplished. It will surprise you how creative you can be and it is fun too.

Do you like to read for relaxation in the tub? Is there an empty spot next to the chair to sit a basket on the floor and put a couple magazines in it? Some people like to read when they go in the bathroom. A small basket will keep your reading material well, all in one spot so it isn’t walked on or wet when you step out of the tub or shower. +If you are not a reader, but want to add a little more to your bathroom, set a small stand next to it, if there is a shelf on the bottom put some fancy towels on it, take the matching washcloths, and make an artificial plant to set on the top.

Making the flowerpot is easy. Just Take a fancy pot or paint one and use one of the stamps you used on the chair and stamp on it. Next, you roll each washcloth up as if you were putting napkins on the dining room table. Stand the rolled washcloths on end around the pot and put an artificial flower in it. Now you have a stand you can use for those towels and washcloths on special occasions. You can perhaps lay those magazines on one corner, now you have the magazine rack and your towels where people can see but not touch.

Remember don’t overdo it. Make it simple and creative.

Handicapped Accessories For The Bathroom

Do you have a loved one or need for handicapped accessories in the bathroom? There are many different kinds of items in your local pharmacy. If they can’t help you, they can redirect you to someone who can. You can get on the Internet and type in the search engines the keyword handicap equipment; look around there is something for everybody to make his or her life a little easier and safer.

Does your loved one have a hard time using the bathroom stool? Sometimes getting up and down is hard for them, especially if it is lower than 17 inches. Head to your local pharmacy and ask them to boost your bathroom stool. Making the stool higher will help with back problems, leg problems making is easier for the to sit down and again to get up. You can add handrails to make it easier yet. Some handrails are portable and can be removed when they are no longer needed. Be sure they are screwed into the floor to keep them from moving when in use.

Bath time can be a chore for your loved one to do on their own if they need to hang onto something. The tub can really cause a problem when your loved one can’t get up and down or step high enough to get into it. How about using a lift chair for them? All they have to do is sit in it and hit a button and it will lift them up and into the water. There are also manual lifts to help take them from the wheel chair into the tub. The manual lift takes up a lot of space but very nice because it can be used in others areas as well like lifting from their chair to the bed or another chair. One person can control this manual chair by putting the cloth swing into the wheelchair and setting the patient on it. Than there is a bar on wheels that you wheel over them and hook the mat on, crank the bar up and swing them over into the tub. No lifting and your loved one can relax in the tub. Taking them out is just a simple just reversing the process.

Sometimes showers are easier for you and the loved one to get into. You can also install a walk-in shower to make life easier. There is to stepping in and out just walk in. These come in many sizes to accommodate your needs from small walk in to stand in to large enough to put a wheel chair in them. With the wheel chair size just push or wheel them in and they can shower sitting down.

Shower chairs are sometimes used for that hard to take shower. Some people can’t stand long enough to shower or they are too weak to stand and shower. The shower chair is great for this. Some of the shower chairs have holes in the seat for the water to run through, some have arms for them to hang onto even wheels can be put on them to help move them around. Shower chairs are nice with wheels on them; you can move yourself around in or out of the shower with no assistance. Whenever someone can be as independent as possible and safe at the same time, it makes him or her feel better.

You can also add a showerhead in your shower to make life easier. If the showerhead is on a hose it can be taken down to make things even easier to wash. The chair doesn’t have to be pushed up so close to the shower wall just stretch out the hose. Some people as they get older are scared to have that water spraying on them sometimes into their eyes. Using the hose keeps the water out of their face and they feel more secure and safe.

Remember making the bathroom safe and easier for you or your loved one makes life a lot easier for everyone.
