Bathroom Design Ideas: Things You Might Not Think Of

What follows are some of the unique features that we plan to incorporate into our log home’s master bathroom.

One way to use this is as an “idea list”… to help you weigh out the pro’s and con’s of various bathroom features in order to ultimately determine your own “wants” and “needs” list for your own master bathroom.

Another way you could use this list is to think of these things as some of the most often overlooked items in master bathrooms.
