When attempting to redesign a bathroom or design it for the first time, it is important to be able to create an equal balance between a masculine and feminine look and feel. This will help to ensure that one person does not feel like the other person had the most control and influence over that particular room and what went into it. By using an interior design that balances the two aspects of masculinity and femininity, this will also help to reduce the amount of disagreements or arguments that may occur later on down the road when each person begins to get frustrated with the other for various reasons.

For an idea of what constitutes as being masculine, listed below are some ideas. Color choices for a male dominated bathroom brisbane are typically base colors such as green, blue, brown, or gray. Bathrooms are typically painted in a lighter color so it gives the illusion that the space is much bigger than it really is. The shower curtain is usually made out of a heavier material, such as canvas or a heavy cotton. This color is also darker than normal; but lighter to increase the illusion of space. If there are windows, they are typically either covered with simple blinds or are frosted glass so that there is no need for anything to be hanging from them. Typically, there are little to no accessories, except for the necessities such as towels and toilet paper that are present in a male … Read More

If it hasn’t happened to you yet, just wait!

Sooner or later you will be faced with the challenge of removing chewing gum or some other adhesive residue from your carpet.

Most people are intimidated by this prospect, and eventually they just call a dry cleaning carpet company to deal with the situation. However if you like to do it for yourself, the process of removing gum from your carpet is really very simple.

First of all, the method you choose may depend on the conditions you face. For instance, if the gum has been recently deposited on the carpet, it may be necessary to just  freeze it and scrape it off. You can do this by placing a plastic bag with ice over the fresh gum, leaving it there for about 15 minutes until the gum hardens, and then scraping it off with a suitable scraper, like a dull dinner knife or a spatula.

If you have gum that had hardened after residing on your carpet fibers for many days, or if you have the residue of deposits from something like duct tape that had been placed on your carpet to cover electrical wires, for instance, you will need to use some sort of solvent.

There are many household solvents and detergents that have been used successfully to do the job, but unless you are very careful, you may just do more harm to your carpet, and leave residues that will reappear in short shrift.

My recommendation is that … Read More

What is something that most people do every 3,000 miles? They either change their oil, or they take their vehicle to a mechanic to get serviced. This is when your car gets the regular maintenance it needs to keep you on the road. Like cars, air conditioners also need tuneups every now and then, to keep your home cool and perform at peak levels.

So why don’t more people think about getting their air conditioners serviced regularly? For many, it’s because they think of their air conditioner as being the same as their water heater, refrigerator, and washing machine. They think of it as a quiet, household appliance that works in the background without needing any attention. And for the most part that’s true, except that unlike other appliances, it does need some special TLC once a year.

It is estimated that an air conditioner loses about 5% of its efficiency every year it goes without a tune-up. This reduced efficiency can be felt in the temperature in your home. It can also be felt in your pocketbook, especially when your unit starts having to operate constantly to keep temperatures cool in your home. The longer the unit runs, the more electricity it burns, and the more your utility bill is each month.

And let’s not forget that when an appliance runs constantly, it is more prone to breakdowns and general wear and tear. A car that is low on oil and needs a new air filter will operate poorly, … Read More

Preparing your search of retirement homes

Whether you are searching with an assistant or doing the initial footwork by searching the internet for a retirement home, you’ll need to have an idea of the area you want to live in and more importantly, the type of retirement community that will suit you best.

Types of retirement communities

To add some clarity and help you in the decision making process, I’ve outlined a brief overview of the types of care available in Canada and more specifically, the levels of care commonly provided at retirement communities.

Active Retirement Communities

The active retirement community is also known as the active adult community, 55-plus living and resort community. They are usually age-exclusive from 55+, 60+ and sometimes 65+ but there are also communities that are not age restrictive. Active retirement communities may be gated with on-site security and sometimes health-care. The active retirement lifestyle appeals to baby-boomers and seniors moving into the early phase of retirement or semi-retirement and who are still very independent, wishing to retain control over most aspects of their lives.

Assisted Living

Assisted living communities are suited to individuals that require assistance with certain daily activities but are still able to live independently. Typical assisted living units range from private rooms to apartment style self-contained suites with private washroom and cooking facilities. There is usually a common dining room where residents can socialize and have meals together.
