Take a bath on your Ravenswood home

Okay, take a bath IN your Ravenswood home. Lately, I see a trend for entire "wet room" master baths; a full tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads and no tub. However, this is ludicrous to my wife who would probably buy our next home based on the master bathtub.

Here's a peak at some traditional, if not luxurious, master bathtubs I saw along my Ravenswood Area Open House Bicycle Tour.

Gorgeous on Giddings

Peaceful on Paulina

Serenity on Sunnyside

Chicago Brass/Chicago Bath for High Quality Hardware and Fixtures

I recently met the folks at Chicago Brass and Chicago Bath. They are a local Chicago distributor of high quality and high end kitchen hardware and bath fixtures (such as a personal favorite Lacava). They are service oriented and work on some of the most high profile homes (and clients) around Chicagoland.

I recommend calling them if you are thinking about a remodel or building a new construction home. Many rehabs, renovations and new construction projects are sunk by lousy fixture and hardware selections. Friends don't let friends choose hardware and fixtures at Home Depot.
