Posted on by

With our super hectic lives and chalked-up schedules, bathtime is probably the only time of the day when we get to truly relax and unwind. It’s that precious hour of the day when we can completely indulge in self-care, and pamper ourselves, hence it is my favorite time of the day.  Having a beautifully designed bathroom with thoughtful designs will only amplify this special time of the day. These products can make a huge difference in our everyday bathroom experience. They not only help us carry out our personal and grooming activities even more easily, but they also help us take care of ourselves and our washrooms a little better.

1. Tandem Showerhead

Dubbed the Tandem Showerhead, this interesting showerhead can be directly connected to your existing showerhead, and it functions as an easy-to-install, no-plumber-required shower accessory which creates two separate streams from your shower. The shower is a great option for couples and solo showers, offering a serene and luxurious experience.

Why is it noteworthy?

The shower features an adjustable design that can fit into most bathrooms. The little device fits into your existing showerhead’s water inlet, and this distributes the water supply between two showerheads. The Tandem Shower also includes a valve that lets you switch between both heads or use them together.

What we like

  • It has a high-velocity setting which delivers two times more force than regular showers

What we dislike

The orange color of the toilet instantly draws attention, while the faceted form adds a sophisticated touch.

Why is it noteworthy?

The Formation 02 showcases the various effects of moving water on its environment, and how it can shape and change the way things look.

This Tiny Home With Its Clever Downsizing Features Can Be Likened To A Swiss Army Knife

Posted on by

Perched on a steep hillside plot in California is a tiny home designed by Mork-Ulnes Architects. The compact abode was built on the pre-existing foundations of a 1950s garage. The layout of the home is quite unique, and resembles a Swiss Army knife, as it maximizes features in an otherwise small and compact area. The home displays how smart downsizing ideas can be utilized to create a comfortable home for a small family.

Designer: Mork-Ulnes Architects 

Called the Crest guesthouse and located in Marin County, California, the home was commissioned by a family of three, who needed this to be their temporary home, as their main residence on the property is undergoing renovation. When the main house is ready, the Crest will function as a guesthouse. The home measures 400 square feet, and since it is located in the forest, wildfires are definitely a major concern. To deal with this issue, the exterior has been finished in a fire-resistant cement board, which is also quite easy to maintain. The architects also added a small deck to create more usable outdoor space.

You can enter the home via a large sliding door which opens the front-facing facade to the outside if the weather is pleasant. The interior of the home is quite airy and open, despite its small size. The interior is finished in plywood. The layout of the home is like a typical tiny home, except for a few differences. For example, the main bedroom isn’t a bedroom but is basically a Murphy bed installed into a wall. This creates plenty of free floor space, making the living area quite large. A sofa is placed on one side, and this includes integrated storage space, as well as some shelving above, and a wardrobe unit placed adjacent.

The kitchen is located close to the living area, and this includes a sink, oven, and an electric cooktop, as well as loads of cabinetry and shelving. The kitchen also has a dining table with a TV on the wall nearby. The dining table also has some integrated additional storage and features wheels so you can move it to the deck area for eating outside. The second bedroom is located in the loft and can be accessed via a ladder. The second bedroom contains a bed and a chair, and there is quite a bit of headspace to stand upright.

2. Girl With A Pearl Earring

Made from 1619 LEGO bricks, the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ LEGO build perfectly replicates the painting, and has some actual depth to it.

3. The Scream

Edvard Munch’s The Scream painting was converted into an intriguing LEGO build! It perfectly captures the anxiety and fear Munch wanted to create in his painting, around 130 years ago. Created by LEGO builder Spacemanship, the build is made using 2999 pieces. He wanted to give people suffering from anxiety an outlet or channel for their emotions, and he really did a great job with this LEGO kit. The LEGO Ideas submission garnered a 10,000 votes milestone, and will soon be converted into a buyable LEGO kit.

4. The Portrait of a Woman in a Hat

Made by LEGO user Mecesoo, this intriguing brick-based portrait captures and recreates the essence of Picasso’s stroke by using colorful plastic bricks instead. The portrait is built using 1070 bricks without any loose bricks or collisions. The build is almost true in size to the original, hence serving as a brilliant replica. The painting is teamed up with a Minifigure of Picasso, an easel with his canvas on it, as well as two Picasso quotes with the artist’s signature.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift to give your mum this Mother’s Day, right?

Why is it noteworthy?

The Light-Up Lamp is designed to get your mum into ‘work mode’, the minute the lamp is switched on. The lamp doesn’t really have a very complicated design. It is simple and focused and aims to create a seamless work environment the second it is switched on. It doesn’t have any sudden color changes or any odd flickers.

What we like

  • It is designed to enhance productivity
  • It is also an excellent table organizer, as you can hold up sticky notes on it

What we dislike

  • It is a tall and bulky design, so it will occupy some precious real estate on your desk. Not the most compact desk lamp on the market

With A Kitchen That Extends Into An Outdoor Bar, The Mirasol Tiny Home Is Great For Hosting Parties

Posted on by

Tiny homes have a lot of perks to them, but one of the veritable cons is that they aren’t too great for hosting. These compact homes can make it uncomfortable and stuffy to have friends over, however, this is where Baluchon’s Mirasol home comes to the rescue. Although it features a compact size, it still lets you socialize with your friends comfortably, since it has a guest sleeping area and a kitchen that extends to form an outdoor bar. Pretty cool, right?!

Designer: Baluchon

Founded on a double-axle trailer, Mirasol features a length of 20 feet and it is clad in red cedar with an aluminum accenting. The interior of the home is finished in ash and spruce, and it is powered by a standard RV-style hookup. The home also has a terrace along its exterior which was set up after the pictures were taken. This terrace teams up with the drop-down bar outside to extend the living space quite a bit, letting the owner host some cool parties! The kitchen also has operable windows allowing the host to pass food and drinks with ease. The exterior also includes a small detachable pantry on one wall, allowing food and drinks to be cooled outside.

The interior of the house has plenty of glazing, creating an airy and spacious home with a light-filled ambiance. The living room includes a large L-shaped sofa bed which serves as a guest sleeping area. There is some storage space as well. The kitchen contains a breakfast bar with stool seating for two, as well as a sink, oven, small fridge, two-burner propane-powered stove, cabinetry, and some shelving. This space is connected to a compact bathroom with a toilet and shower.

However, the Mirasol tiny home only has one bedroom which can be accessed via a removable ladder. The bedroom is like most bedrooms seen in tiny homes. It has a typical loft-style interior amped with a low ceiling and a double bed. The exact pricing of the Mirasol tiny home is unknown, but usually Baluchon’s models start at $91,000 USD.
