The Bathroom Idea Book (精裝)

內(nèi)容概要

As its name suggests, The Bathroom Idea Book is all  about ideas. In fact, anyone who views the book's 400 color photos  will have clearer ideas about what they absolutely love, simply  appreciate and definitely detest in bathroom design. Andrew Wormer has  done an excellent job of covering enough ground to make this book  useful for both the do-it-yourselfer and the homeowner who wants to  paint a clear picture for an architect or a builder.  Just about every  bathroom style and option is covered and beautifully photographed,  from antique fixtures (pedestal sinks, clawfoot tubs), to modern  luxuries (a shower with a bubbling footbath and eight adjustable body  and hydromassage jets), to high-tech touches (a cascading waterfall  shower digitally controlled by a thermostatic valve and 10 massaging  body jets), to the low-frill and durable (installing an acrylic liner  over your old, battered tub). The book would be even more useful if  Wormer devoted additional space to the costs of the sometimes  sensible, sometimes spacious and sometimes glorious bathrooms we  see. He does offer a few paragraphs on general price ranges and helps  the reader understand what drives up costs (moving fixtures and  walls), but this book ultimately is about dreaming, not  budgeting. Read it to imagine how your bathroom could look, then worry  about the price.  This is not to suggest that the book lacks helpful  planning tips. Overhead drawings on many pages give you a sense of the  rest of the bathroom that can't be captured in a photo. And Wormer  offers options for one of the trickier challenges when trying to  improve the most frequently remodeled room in the house--finding more  space. Among his ideas is annexing space from an adjoining area, such  as a closet or hallway. Readers of The Bathroom Idea Book will  find that even if their dream bathroom isn't pictured, they will be  able to mix-and-match and combine features from various photos to get  a good idea of what they can do. --John Russell
