Are you tormented by dated wallpaper, fake wood paneling, chained lights, glitter popcorn ceilings and brass? You must be stuck in the 70's! You need a quick and easy update to make your bath bearable to walk into without thinking you are in an episode of Three's Company? (I know, I just dated myself) Here's some ways to update that will be easy on the budget... Typical Examples of the 70's Bathrooms Typical 70's wood paneling and wallpaper Crazy Wallpaper This bathroom is fairly calm but the hanging lights give it's age away This is what your bathroom could look like! Elegant and Classy! Here's some great ways to update: 1 - Remove or cover that ugly fake wood paneling!! It is the worst invention ever. There are several DIY sites that say to fill in the cracks with drywall mud and paint it but I am a firm believer that this doesn't work. It takes a lot of effort to do this process and eventually the mud will crack and fall out. It's better to cover it or remove it. DON'T DO IT! (Example of filling the cracks in wood paneling) A - Wood Paneling is a great option if you just want to cover it. Beaded Board Wainscot (Love the green walls!) Beadboard comes in sheets so you can nail and glue it right over. Add base and chair rail trim. An 8'ft long section is $50. Example of Board & Batten type paneling Just attached a 4'x8'x1/4" sheet of plywood and attached 1x2 or 1x4s any spacing you want just make sure to cover the seams. A paint grade plywood sheet is $13. Classic Paneling doesn't have to be white Paneling doesn't have to be traditional Remove the fake wood paneling and add sheetrock. Finish and paint or wallpaper. Use a chair rail to cover any wall depth differences Or put green board (backer board for tile) up and tile! Love a subway tile wainscot! 2 & B - Usually the 70's floor were sheet vinyl. Remove it or if it is stuck pretty good and not peeling up then put down self stick floor tiles over it. They are fast and easy to install and only $1 a square foot. Obviously a better option is to have new tile floors installed, so if you can afford it ...go for it! 3 & E - 70's cabinets...Oh boy, where do I start. They cheaped out. Most likely if you have 70's cabinets they are veneer or plastic over particle wood. Paint them or replace the doors with new ones! Think color, not just white! Still keep that 70's glam with a modern take on cabinets. 4 & D - Replace those plastic laminate countertops with stone, or if you want to splurge buy a vanity sink unit. I love a Carrara marble (shown in picture above) but you can get any stone. Look for remnants if you have a small vanity. Here's some vanities you can replace that old cabinet with.... Stone & Chrome Sink Vanity Restoration Hardware Gramercy $2,195 Modern Vanity & Eclectic Mix 5 & G - Dress up those walls! Remove the wild and most likely flocked or metallic 70's paper and either paint or put up some new wallpaper. Great example of a simple & traditional bathroom (minus the fern) There are so many fun wallpapers! Paint a stencil or use removable wallpaper. Sexy Hexy by Chasing Paper 6, C & F - Update with new hardware. This is the easiest update. Currently, gold is all the rage in finishes but if you aren't that trendy or it doesn't fit your style, stick with nickel, brass, stainless, or oil rubbed bronze. A satin finish is best because polished shows everything and scratches more easily. The least expense is chrome (which is a classic look)! Kohler Vibrant Modern Brushed Gold... Ohhh...Ahhh...Looove! 7 - Replace that chained pendant that hangs from a ceiling hook with a wall sconce. Horchow Edison-Type Wall Sconce $195 George Kovaks Rectangular Bronze Wall Sconce (comes in chrome and brass too!) $117 8 - A new mirror. This is the most important change because it is what you see the most, besides yourself of course! There are so many mirror fun mirrors, don't be afraid to try something new. You can even spray paint the one you have to breathe new life into it. Try layering mirrors especially if you have a plain plate mirror now. Hang another mirror in front of it using fishing line from the ceiling. The decorative mirror dresses up this plain plate mirror Layer two framed mirrors H - Add some life to those counters with new accessories. Your toothbrush will thank you! Horchow Waylande Gregory Porcelain and Gold (sorry these are expensive but I couldn't help myself) 9 - Under no circumstances should you have a toilet lid cover nor a rug that wraps around the toilet; it's just unsanitary. Do you have any additional ideas? email me your 70's updated bathroom pictures ~ [email protected]

Implementare la capacità di maneggiare gli oggetti, la coordinazione occhio-mano e la manualità più fine è fondamentale per dare ai bambini la possibilità di crescere (come da precetti montessoriani) verso l'indipendenza e verso la maturità. Sarà proprio la manualità fine ad essere infatti colonna portante delle sue competenze future, scolastiche e personali! Scrivere, giocare, disegnare, cucinare, lavarsi, vestirsi... Tutto passa da lì, dalle mani. Per aiutare il bambino in questo senso ci sono davvero moltissime attività, divertenti oltre che educative, e un modo per stimolarlo a provare sempre di più ad utilizzare le sue manine è quello di allestire in casa un piccolo tavolino provvisto di tutti quegli elementi che lo aiuteranno, giocando e facendolo concentrare, a sviluppare la sua manualità più fine e precisa. Ecco le working station per allenare la manualità fine: come il bambino può sviluppare al meglio le sue capacità e la sua indipendenza attraverso il gioco - Disponete sul tavolino dei fogli sui quali avete tratteggiato dei percorsi in pennarello, e accanto ad essi appoggiate dei cestini pieni di bottoni. I bimbi dovranno seguire le linee e i percorsi con i bottoni, allenando così la presa e la precisione, oltre che la coordinazione occhio mano. Un'attività colorata ed efficace! (foto 1 http://www.learning4kids.net/2016/03/27/fine-motor-work-station-or-centre-activity/) - Replicare le attività adulte è uno dei segreti per raggiungere il nostro scopo. In particolare lo stendere il bucato è un'occasione ghiotta per allenare la presa! Create una sorta di filo per stendere e date al bambino piccole mollette di legno e abiti in miniatura (quelli delle bambole oppure dei ritagli di feltro). Schiacciare le mollette, tenerle aperte e lasciarle solo quando l'abito è sistemato per noi è semplicissimo, ma per i bambini è una conquista! E li terrete concentrati per un sacco di tempo. (foto 2 http://blisscocotte.fr/2015/03/youpi-mercredi-32-le-fil-a-linge/) - Con delle pinze, dei ritagli di carta colorata mescolati in un cestino e una muffin tin il bambino potrà suddividere i quadratini per colore, prendendoli con la pinza (strumento impagabile per queste attività) e lasciandoli cadere nei buchi delle teglie per muffin (perfette per ogni gioco di classificazione). (foto 3 https://it.pinterest.com/pin/153122456057746553/) - Un altro strumento davvero utile è la pinza per bucare la carta. Oltre che divertentissima per i bambini (che bucherebbero fino allo sfinimento) aiuta ad allenare la presa in vista della scrittura. Semplicemente fornite carta e pinze ai bimbi: troveranno loro il gioco perfetto! Successivamente potrete poi provare a fare seguire linee e percorsi come con i bottoni, bucando la carta con sempre maggiore precisione. (foto 4 http://www.theresourcefulmama.com/hole-punch-fine-motor-activity/) - Sempre in vista della scrittura, provate questa attività che prevede della pasta modellabile e bastoncini di varie misure (dalle bacchette orientali agli stuzzicadenti, arrivandoci gradualmente). I bimbi possono disegnare, ma soprattutto scrivere, direttamente sulla pasta colorata, prendendo confidenza con la presa tipica della scrittura. (foto 5 http://www.fantasticfunandlearning.com/play-dough-writing-tray.html) - Anche incollare è un esercizio di precisione che appassiona i bambini: sul tavolo disponete dei fogli colorati e altri ritagli tagliati nelle varie forme che compongono uno stilizzato cupcake. I bimbi si divertiranno a comporli, incollandoli sul foglio pulito, tenendo in mano il tubetto di colla e allenando la precisione dei movimenti. (foto 6 http://www.cuttingtinybites.com/2015/04/invitation-to-create-cupcake-factory.html) - Altra attività per piccoli meccanici e ingegneri presa dalla vita adulta che è perfetta per stimolare la manualità fine: l'avvitamento. Sul tavolo preparate bulloni e viti e lasciate che li avvitino, utilizzando magari poi questi oggetti come base per sculture creative. (foto 7 http://playgroundparkbench.com/engineering-toddlers-nuts-bolts/) - E per allenare davvero alla perfezione la scrittura, quando magari continua ad essere traballante, è il metodo Michelangelo: trasformate la prospettiva della working station e fate mettere i bimbi a pancia in su sotto al tavolino. Lì troveranno un foglio bianco da riempire di disegni! Un esercizio davvero ottimo che diverte i bambini nel suo essere buffo ma che nella realtà dà davvero eccellenti risultati: vedrete come acquisiranno sicurezza di presa e precisione!
