Many people don’t even consider molding in the bathroom. However, it is one of the least expensive and most attractive upgrades for the room. Molding makes a room look finished and elegant.

While some people are happy with plain white paint as long as it is mildew resistant, you can do so much more. What about painting a stripe around the room near the ceiling to create faux crown moulding? Painting a mural can really open up the space and make it inviting.

Adding a shower curtain and rod with a theme instead of that boring white standard curtain and plastic rod can really make a room look finished. This is a quick fix that almost anyone can do. In fact, since few people leave their shower curtains behind when they move, you probably already bought a new one.

Of course, it makes sense to maintain your bathroom, both from a practical and a decorative perspective. After all, a few cracked tiles in the shower can cause you to have leaks and mold damage as well as looking ugly. Luckily, replacing one or two broken tiles is a fairly easy fix, if a bit time consuming.

Another thing you should do to spruce up your bathroom is a good drain cleaning. It may be an icky task, but it really can make your bathroom a nicer place to be. Your water will drain so much more quickly when all of that hair, rust and other gunk is out of the way. Even better, any odor from stagnant water pooling up in places you can’t see should disappear, since the water won’t be trapped by debris anymore.

When the whole room is updated, cleaned and maintained, it is time to take a last look around the space. Think about ways to make the bathroom seem bigger and more spacious. There are so many great new organization products for these rooms, such as shelving and under the vanity racks. A few carefully positioned mirrors can make the space seem larger, as can smaller, oval rugs.

So, take some time to decorate your bathroom and next time your guests come, it may be the space you show off first!

The WB network could never really seem to catch a break. The fledgling TV network began broadcasting in 1995, only to eventually close up shop in 2006, and their nine-year TV experiment contained many notable failures, and relatively few successful programs to bring in the all-important advertising revenue.

But the New York Times is reporting that the WB is about to return; but this time as a web site. The WB site will feature online streaming video of new original programming and classic shows from the Warner Bros. vault. Additionally, Warner Bros. is launching KidsWB.com, a complementary web site aimed at the younger demographic.

The new WB online network, called TheWB.com, is an interesting experiment, with the company seeking to create a profitable outlet for their original content via the Internet. The WB site hopes to take advantage of the emerging trend of watching programs on the computer, something that is especially popular with the younger generation.

The network will use an ad sponsored revenue model to support free episodes of shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Gilmore Girls. In addition, episodes of other programs owned by Warner productions will also be streamed online, including “Friends” and “The OC.”

But the new online network won’t just focus on Warner Bros’ “greatest hits.” The site is also planning several new programs that are made specifically for the web site. With Fox, HBO and most other networks rushing to develop online content, the new WB site will have plenty of competition. And let’s not forget the free-for-all video popularity of YouTube, which is still the most watched video-related site online.

The WB web site will have to work hard to win over viewers that are used to short-form video comedies and other programming online. In addition, major networks like ABC are streaming episodes of their most popular programs online; not to mention NBC Universal, which has recently launched Hulu, and advertising-funded free video site that is gaining market share online quickly.

Whether the WB web site can succeed where the TV network failed we’ll have to wait and see. But it is clear that Warner Bros. is jumping into the online video race a bit late in the day. With so many other sites well-established online, simply garnering a loyal viewership could prove tricky.

At the end of the day though, it all comes down to the quality of the programming. If the WB site can produce content viewers want to see, it certainly stands a good chance of competing online. But if they’re simply rehashing episodes of 90s WB shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they will likely find it difficult to attract a sizable audience. Whether online or off, viewers want new, original programming. If they can provide that, the WB online may just stand a chance.
