Bath planning isn’t rocket science, but it does take some homework before you start.

Determine the look you want to achieve Whether it is Tradi onal or Contemporary or something in between, Cur s Lumber has more than enough style and color choices to please even the most discerning tastes. With almost limitless op ons for your bathroom project, it is important to narrow in on the looks, func ons, and layouts that appeal to you. A great way to do this is to cut out bathroom pictures from magazines and brochures and visit bathroom websites to view their photo galleries. You can view our Bathroom Inspira ons gallery on our website or by clicking here. Even if a picture isn’t your ideal design, but contains a look or design feature that you like---you should save it to share with your designer. Determine your budget The designers at Cur s Lumber can help you with this process. Be honest with them about your budget expecta-

ons. Vani es, whirlpools and floor coverings come in a variety of price ranges. Any bath design can be quoted at various price ranges. Some changes may be required, but the basic design can usually be achieved. Do some research on your own to help complete the total budget picture. Price showers and tubs, ligh ng and flooring, ask friends who have remodeled about the costs and read magazines to help you mentally prepare a budget that is realis c. Determine fixtures and add-ons Bathroom fixture selec on plays a key role in the overall design and look of your new room. Determine what type of fixtures you want in your bathroom. Whirlpools, showers with seats, and laundry cabinets all will impact your design. The styles and varie es of fixtures have grown tremendously in recent years and have become showpiec-es in bathroom design. Shop your local Cur s Lumber to narrow down your selec on. Make a list of the things you like and dislike about your current bathroom Our designers will want to know what you are trying to accomplish with your project. You should take into considera on your current lifestyle, for example—is your bathroom clean and neat and only used for guests, or does the en re family use it at the same me? These pieces of informa on help the designer create a bathroom that you will fall in love with and is customized to your family’s lifestyle. Be sure to complete the Cur s Lumber Bathroom Planning Checklist located on our web site prior to visi ng our store. Take some preliminary measurements Your designer will need to know the amount of space they have to work with, so simple measurements are a key component to the process and be sure to bring it with you to your first mee ng.

Bath Measuring Guide

1. Start in one corner (A) and measure to the edge of the first door or window and mark down this measurement. 2. Measure the door or window (B) from one outside edge of the trim to the other outside edge. 3. Now, measure from the outside of the trim to the corner (C) or next door or window. 4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 un l you have measured the en re room.

Please Note: Double check your measurements by measuring the en re wall length from wall to wall and comparing it to your individual measurements taken in Steps 1-3.

Example: (A) to (C): En re wall measures 144” From (A) to (B) = 49-1/2”. (B) = 45”. (B) to (C) = 49-1/2” Totals: 49-1/2” + 45” + 49-1/2” = 144”
