      Bathroom Decorators 

: Small Space With Many Options By: James Newell Engaging the services of a bathroom decorator can be simple task or a time consuming project. Although the bathroom is the part of the room that we occupied the least amount of time in day, its importance should be dismissed. It is to put it mildly, the most private sanctuary in the whole house in fact. Whether we chose to admit it or not, we do spend lot of “quality time” in this room.

To decorate this room, it can involve just retiling or painting over the old paintwork. Simple task like painting, to save some money you do not need to employ a bathroom decorator. It can be done easily in one day by just one person, as the bathroom tends to be one of the smaller rooms of the whole house. However if your thoughts of renovations for the bathroom is more grandeur like installing a Jacuzzi then one should employ an expert like a bathroom decorator to undertake the task. The installation of a Jacuzzi is not a small task as it involves cement work, piping and plumping. Unless you are an avid do it yourself expert, attempting the job yourself can be a very costly misadventure. Therefore, leave the complicated jobs to the experts.

So how does one go about looking for a reliable bathroom decorator? The best way to find a good and reliable bathroom decorator is to look for those recommended by friends or family members. Go follow the advices of those who had actually engaged these decorators and had experienced their services first hand.

Alternatively, to look for a reliable bathroom decorator, try the yellow pages. Call them up and ask for quotations and as well as references of their previous clients. Those bathroom decorators who are genuine and ethical in their conduct of business will always have good references to back up their job portfolio

            Welcome Back John!

  After spending 10 years out of the business, "Little" John Kelchak has

          returned to the bathtub and tile refinishing business.

  We realize he looks not-too-happy in this picture but it was taken at the end

of a 14 hour day that was part of a 21 straight day jaunt on the cruise ship

                          "Spirit".

On this particular adventure we had to tear out and completely restore the tile

shower pans in 256 state rooms.

And as usual we had to do it with

ZERO mistakes!

You see; cruise ships don't tolerate mistakes.

They make you walk the plank!

All the while ;

1. 5 other groups were trying to do their particular part of the up-fits in the

    same rooms.

2. Frequent power outages.

3. Little ventilation.

4. Keeping up with guys half his age for 21 straight days.

And these weren't just your normal "hardworking" types. These were

"Weppler"worker types.

If you haven't experienced their work ethic in person it is hard to explain.

These guys-

                   (Levi and Lucas with a little "Andrea" thrown in)

-take their work personal is the only way to put it.

They set the standard for the rest of the

crew and it is a high standard you rarely see anymore. It also helps that Levi

has wrestled since he was 8 and runs about 240 lbs.

(And he is the "Little" one).

Thank god he has such a

laid back attitude is what I always tell him.

Anyway,

Welcome back Mr. Kelchak;

we missed you!
