Bathrooms were an afterthought in many pre-80s houses. Theyre often small, dark, and cramped. If youre planning a bathroom remodeling project, you may not have the space to expand the bathrooms square footage, but look below for some ideas about how to make a small bathroom look and feel bigger. Glass: Glass shower enclosures can make a small bathroom feel bigger since you can see from one side of the room to the other. Also think about widening a window or installing a skylight to create a feeling of openness and allow more natural light. Remember you can incorporate the time-honored tradition of using mirrors to make a space feel more expansive.Sinks: If you can hang the sink and vanity on the wall, it will help give the room a cleaner look. Ensure you have storage space somewhere so the sink doesnt end up cluttered with toiletries. Many manufacturers also offer extra-small sinks or ones designed to fit into corners.

You'd be surprised how many attackers come right through the front door! Those types of attackers are manipulative and have some of the most realistic, believable excuses for why they need to get into your apartment or house. Some of the excuses I've heard are:His/her car has broken down and they need to phone someone for help. He/she is a worker that needs to check your electricity or water from inside your home. He/she is taking a survey for the city or state you live in. Regardless of the reason this person gives you, if you don't know them well you should definitely be suspicious of anyone who wants to get into your home. No one should come to your house unannounced and assume they can just come on in! I recently read that over 12,000 occurrences of burglary are done through distraction. Sometimes these people even get so crafty that they work in pairs. One person will deliver the distraction while another gets into your home and either attacks you or steals. Both elderly and single women are perfect targets for these predators.Anytime there's a knock at your door or your doorbell or buzzer goes off, be on guard! Always look through a window or peephole first to...more
