It’s All in the Details with American Standard – Bathroom Reveal!

We took on a bathroom renovation a little over a month ago and I’m so excited to finally be sharing the reveal with you all here! It was a dream come true to be able to partner with American Standard for this renovation because not only are they industry leaders in bathroom fixtures, but their faucets, tubs and toilets are some of the most gorgeous and thoughtfully created pieces I’ve ever seen!

The Process

Renovations can often be a bit intimidating and with so many options for fixtures and finishes, it can be challenging to know where to start or what to look for! Thankfully, American Standard has a huge selection of styles, finishes and products to choose from so whatever your budget or vision is, you’ll be able to find the perfect selection on americanstandard.ca

My inspiration for our ensuite bathroom was a serene spa-like oasis. I wanted it to feel like I was stepping into a luxurious and relaxing spa environment every time I was in our new bathroom! I wanted faucets that were modern and sleek, shower fixtures that had a variety of water settings, but also looked gorgeous, a soaker tub that was not only a statement piece but also allowed for a deep and relaxing soak, and then finally, a toilet that wasn’t an eyesore, but instead flowed perfectly with our bathroom design. American Standard delivered on every single one of my wants and needs, and each piece came together perfectly to create the ultimate relaxing spa-like space in my very own home!

The Products
Have you ever had a toilet that you LOVED? Me neither, until we ordered the Studio® S Right Height Elongated Toilet with Seat. Its minimalist and sleek design makes it beautiful, but my favourite features are the PowerWash™ rim and the EverClean® coating! The PowerWash™ rim releases a surge of water to scrub the bowl with every flush, which I’m pretty sure is every mom’s dream, and the EverClean® coating inhibits the growth of stain and odour-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface! I think I may need to replace every toilet in my home with this one.

For the tub, we chose the Studio® S Oval Freestanding Soaking Tub that is made from premium acrylic with a high-gloss UV and stain-resistant surface. Its sleek contemporary design easily integrates into any bathroom beautifully. A big soaker tub was high-up on our want list and the Studio® S Oval Freestanding Soaking Tub from American Standard is 68 inches long and has a 17 inch soaking depth for an ultimate deep soaking experience!

Good quality faucets are vital fixtures in any bathroom space and I believe it’s safe to say that I’m obsessed with the ones we chose! We chose the Boulevard Widespread Bathroom Faucets and the Contemporary Square Freestanding Tub Faucet as they’re both sleek and sophisticated and easily work in any bathroom design. 

For our shower, we chose the Spectra Plus Handheld 4-Function Hand Shower and the Spectra Plus Fixed 4-Function Shower Head. My favourite feature has to be the unique 4 spray functions on both shower heads that range from drench to sensitive, to jet to PowerWash™ so you can enjoy the ultimate personalized shower experience. It also has a pressure-compensating flow control device, so if the water pressure drops, it will still provide a constant flow of water. This means that you can enjoy an uninterrupted shower even if your kids are flushing the toilet and turning on and off the taps 100 times while you’re in there! 

Bathroom design choices are really personal because everyone has their own functional and aesthetic preferences, so I really encourage you to visit americanstandard.ca to find the perfect fixtures for your next bathroom refresh - can be a simple upgrade or a full renovation! I’m sure you’ll fall in love with their designs, just like I did, and watch your bathroom dreams finally come true!

A Happy Pet Means A Happier Home!

Our dog, Rambo, is the centre of our home! He’s the first one to greet us when we wake up in the morning and the last one to give us cuddles before we fall asleep. Without a doubt, his favorite part of the day is meal time, and with Gamma2 Vittles Vault containers, his food is always fresh!

Vittles Vault airtight containers, which were first created and patented in 1989, are the best and most stylish food containers around. They save you money by preventing food from becoming stale, they are designed with functionality in mind, and they have every type of food container that you could imagine. They’re made from high-impact plastic so they can withstand daily use and they even have a food measuring cup included, so you don’t need to go searching for a scoop.

Rambo eats premium gluten-free dog food and I used to only be able to buy the small bags because the food would go stale before we got to the bottom of the bag! I’m so thankful to have discovered Gamma2 Vittles Vault containers because I’ll now be able to save money by buying his food in bulk and know that it will be fresh until the last bite! I love saving money but love seeing Rambo happy and healthy even more. The containers are airtight, opaque to keep the sunlight out and store large amounts of food. The containers actually come in different sizes so you can get one that’s perfect for your space and just the right size.

There are a few other features that make the Gamma2 Vittles Vault container such a game changer in our home! For starters, Vittles Vault containers are pet proof and critter proof, so no matter where you decide to keep it, you don’t need to worry about your dogs or unwanted visitors, like ants, getting inside! Its airtight lid also keeps the odors trapped inside, so if you choose to store it in your kitchen, like I do, you don’t need to worry about having a lingering dog food smell! Lastly, it’s genius design makes it so that whether you need stackable containers for multiple animals, a large container for big bags of food or even a travel container for road trips or camping, you can always be sure that your animal’s food will be fresh and delicious.

Vittles Vault containers are also super simple and modern looking so they easily fit in with any decor. We used to store Rambo’s food in our garage and it was hard on my back to constantly be lifting the bag to open it and put it back. Thanks to our new Vittles Vault container, Rambo’s food now stays on our counter near his dog dish. It’s gorgeous and so practical.
