Beauty and Benefits of Steam ShowersWith more homeowners turning their bathrooms into their own spa like retreats we thought this month we would talk about the beauty and benefits of steam showers. With so many technological advances, ordinary showers are becoming a thing of the past as the evolution of bathroom design takes shape and meets health and wellness. Each year there are more and more shower designs available to accommodate almost every need and budget. However homeowners may not realize that by transforming their bathroom with a steam shower they are also utilizing an ancient practice in wellness and healing. For centuries steam has been used for medicinal purposes all over the world by many different cultures. The use of steam as well as heat, aids in soothing sore, tense and tired muscles which is great after a strenuous work out or just a trying day at the office. Steam also provides amazing relief for those with arthritis by relaxing stiff joints and alleviating joint pain.

Home remodeling projects are fantastic ways to improve functionality, usefulness and comfort within your home. Sometimes it is the little things that make a big difference when it comes to updating your interior.
In today's economy, being smart with your money is a good idea. Just because you are being more frugal with your money than usual, does not mean that you can't upgrade your home and create a new look without breaking the bank. An inexpensive solution that can have a large impact on the look of your home in every single room involves your door hardware. If you find that your doors are looking shabby and outdated replacing the whole door is not your only option. Most times simply replacing your old door knobs and locks with beautiful modern ones can transform the look and feel of your door tremendously. New door handles, knobs or levers can be very decorative and beautiful way to give your old door the new look you desire.
Perhaps exchanging your old brass door knob for a more modern stainless look will be just the thing your home interior needs. Decorative levers provide a very dramatic effect in comparison to standard knobs also creating a beautiful yet affordable transformation.

Patio Door Replacement
Matthew and Sharon McCollam knew it was time to replace their old patio door. After six years the door had lost most of its visual appeal. The door also had a bad seal contributing to energy loss which was also a major deciding factor in replacing the door. With all the years of use both the seal and weather stripping had worn down allowing air leakage to occur and increase as the door aged. Another nagging issue was the ease with which the door could be opened and closed. It had become very difficult to maneuver the old door which allowed more cool air to escape when going in and out. Once the McCollams decided to purchase a new door, Matthew and Sharon did not have to look far for a reputable company to install their new glass patio door. The McCollams were referred to Barefoot and Company by a familiar face, Doug Konetchy with Equity Builders. Doug had worked with the McCollams in the past and also works with Barefoot and Company on a regular basis so referring his client to them was the natural choice. Barefoot and Company provided the McCollams with a perfect solution to their problem, a new LoE3 Silverline glass sliding patio door. The highly efficient glass reflects even more heat resulting in increased comfort and energy savings year round which is exactly what the McCollams were looking for. In addition to the energy savings their beautiful new door allows more light into their home and the attractive design added a new dimension of style and elegance to their home both inside and out. ![]()
