The
Bathroom Idea Book
by Andrew Wormer. Hardcover (October 1999) |
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
