Tub or no tub in master bathroom?

Q. We'll have tubs elsewhere in the house. A tub always sounds like a great idea, but I honestly have not used our current tub in years. I'd rather have a bigger shower and extra storage space than a tub that will go unused 99.9% of the time. BUT, when we want to sell the house, will potential buyers be turned off by the lack of tub in the master bathroom??

A. Do a fancy shower with glass doors and multiple shower heads, beautiful tile. You could even do a doorless walk-in type. I think you could advertise it as "green" because you would use less water.
Remember, the house is for YOU, not for some person in the future that you have never met. I had this dilemma with taking out the fourth bedroom. (we only have 2 kids, and the 4th was empty space) We took it out, have a window, bookshelves, and a "loft" instead of a dark empty room. However, our house is now a "3 bedroom" but who cares.


how do i get 5 year old to sleep in new bed?
Q. shes had it over 6 months she has new dora blankets and a nightlight. she will play in her room in the day. but will sleep on couch or living room floor at night. hy wont she sleep in the new bed. what can i do to try to get her used to it
????????

A. Help them overcome nighttime fears. Many children want to sleep with parents because they are afraid to sleep alone. They may be afraid of the dark. They may be afraid of "monsters." They may have real issues that are causing fear. Talk to your child to find out why she wants to sleep with you and then arm her with tools that will make her feel secure. This might mean giving her a flashlight, a bottle of monster spray or teaching her a saying that will make her less afraid.

Make his bed and bedroom more desirable than yours. Moms and dads tend to have great big beds that are soft and warm and fun to sleep in. Make your child's bed fun in a way that is unique for him. Put up a tent over his bed. Add a feather bed under the sheets (for kids over 5). Consider a loft bed or full-sized bed (based on age). Do a bit of decorating in exchange for a promise to sleep in his own bed.

3
Have snuggle time in the morning. If it is snuggle time your child does not want to give up, then give them snuggle time in the morning. After she has slept in her bed all night, allow her to come into your bed for a 15 minute snuggle time before you start your day.

4
Send her to the bathroom when she wakes up. Some kids get up because they have to go to the bedroom. Habit, however, brings them to mom's and dad's bed instead, where they may also have an accident. When they stand over you saying "I woke up," just answer, "because you have to go to the bathroom," and then direct them there.

5
Return them to their beds. Be persistent about bringing them to their beds every time they try to get into yours. Give in one time, and you have given them the idea that if they nag and whine, you will let them in.

6
Lock your door. Once the child reaches the age of 8 and 9 (and are of equal maturity), lock your door. This way, they cannot sneak into your bed on those times when you are sleeping too deeply to protest. This will also tell them that they need to be invited into the bed and are not allowed access to it whenever they want.


Idea for Painting a BEDROOM Set in DISNEY PRINCESS THEME?
Q. HI guys I had a question, we bought a really nice bedroom set/hutch /desk set for my girls bedroom, and I need ideas on how to paint it in a disney princess theme?

My kids room is painted in lilac/pink with all disney decorations, does anyone have any ideas on what color to paint the bedroom set?

the set is now in all white, it needs to be painted because it has a few scratches, what color do you think will match? any ideas would be appreciated this will be such a fun project for me! Thanks in advance

A. I have two granddaughters (cousins) that have Princess themed bedrooms. One has antiqued Oak furniture, and we let the wall decorations dictate the theme - her mother and I painted a castle mural on one wall and painted the other three wall lilac.

The other granddaughter has a "castle" loft bed painted white, with a pine dresser that they also painted white to match. We simply added new knobs that I bought from E-bay that depicted a wand, castle, tiara, etc. Each knob is different. We also replaced the knobs on the bi-fold closet door with the same. Her walls are pink and decorated with Disney Princess cameos.


I live in a downtown 1000sqft loft & have 1 full bath.would my resell value go if i was to install shower only
Q. I live in a 1000 sq ft loft 1 bedroom in downtown dallas. I currently have a large garden tub and tile walls. It is all white and is about 9 years old and I was wanting to update. I personally prefer a shower only as i am to tall to take a bath. I was considering pulling the tub and installing a nice shower with either dual shower heads or over shower head. I would do a nice tile or travertine?? Any ideas if this would effect resale value as I only have 1 bedroom and 1 bath and the bath is only accesible through the bedroom. Since this is a smaller loft and located in downtown area I would think there would be very few people with kids looking at my unit when i resell? But I am still worried about spending a lot of money on an upgrade and then have trouble selling because of it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I already have upgrade countertops in the bathroom. I have granite and would just like to bring the bath up to par as it is just average.

A. A one bedroom is not going to be purchased by a family so I don't think your upgrade would be a downside to your sale price. But there are people who see that garden tub as a special upgrade and wouldn't throw it away without some thought. Can you open the shower area by doing all glass walls and frameless doors? That would add value and give everyone what they want. I would change the tiles out from white to an interesting tile with listoles all around and upgrade your sinks and counter areas. Check with a realtor about your comparables in your site to make sure you aren't taking on more than you can get a return for. It doesn't cost you anything to do that.
