Life anew for aging modern baths

At 50 years of age, our bodies just don't seem to work as well as they used to. The same goes for the mid-century bath. Plumbing fails and the original fixtures become worn and break down. For growing families and beauty product addicts alike, square footage and storage space are tight.

While we might not all have the luxury or the inclination to go in for a minor tune-up at the plastic surgeon, your bathroom can -- and likely should at some point.

Remodels of mid-century baths can be simple or glossy, elegant or hip. What they should always be is smartly designed in a way that dovetails well with the original plan. Imagine how wonderful it would feel to enter a space and feel good about what you see reflected in the mirror. More >

So, here's the ticket. When facing repair or replacement of your home's sliding doors, get on the smart track to satisfaction with our homeowners guide to slider renewal. More >
