| Bathroom Resolution No. 1: Save more With water becoming an ever-scarcer resource in so many places, prices are slated to rise. Offset these new rate increases with fixtures that conserve water.

Bathroom Resolution No. 2: Look on the bright side
Brighten up your bath with improved lighting. Side lights, like those shown here, will illuminate your vanity tasks better than bath bars above the mirror. Adding natural light with skylights and windows is great for your bathroom (and your psyche). Toe-kick lighting can serve as night light.
Consider every option to make your bathroom brighter for a better new year.

| Bathroom Resolution No. 3: Live safer Too many accidents take place at home, many of them in the bathroom. A painful slip on a hard tile floor can happen in a second and impact your life for months or years. A grab bar and other safety gear can help offset the risk of falling. Now that they're available in more stylish finishes and lines, there's no good excuse not to include one in your bathroom updates. |

Bathroom Resolution No. 4: Get more organized
Since your day is likely to start and end in the bathroom, this is an ideal place to achieve this goal quickly and easily. Drawer organizers, under-sink organizers and over-the-john storage are all ways to corral your bathroom clutter. They'll also help with your time-management goals; not having to hunt for what you need is a big time saver.

| Bathroom Resolution No. 5: Manage my time better Multi-tasking is one way to achieve this goal. Catch up on the nightly business report while you brush and floss. Get the latest traffic report while you're doing your hair in the morning. Information is power, and getting it while you're completing your bathroom routines is a super way to manage your day more efficiently. |

Taking a long, luxurious bath is one great way to slow life down, at least for a delicious evening! Choose a tub that will remind you to relax with its luscious lines and enveloping depths.
