It's time to renovate the bathroom. You have a few bucks put aside and now's the time to make the smallest room in the house a sanctuary. An oasis from the rest of the world.
Now before you think I'm talking ruffles and candles, hear me out. I'm talking a man bath. The wife gets the rest of the house while we guys are usually subjected to the attic, and the basement. Is this fair? I think not. Gentlemen, our time has come.
They used to call this room, "the necessary". So what is necessary in our little hideout? Yeah, sure, the toilet, the sink and the tub/shower. But what else?
How about a television? Why miss the big play of the big game when nature calls? Put in a television and you're good to go - literally. I'm not saying you have to put the plasma big screen. There might not be room. But a television would be great. Put it above the toilet or within view of the tub for a truly location. Put one of those under-cabinet models by the sink so you can catch up on the headlines while you're shaving.
Another great addition to any man bath is a safe. This is for all the magazines and other stuff the wife doesn't want you to have around because of the kids. After all, the potty stop is meant for privacy, right? So have your other private stuff stashed in the bathroom for your private time behind the bathroom door. Store your smokes there and some of your magazines that your wife hates. (Of course, we mean the sports and hot rod magazines, right. The ones we read for the great articles and beautiful artwork.) If you keep them in a safe, little hands won't get at them and neither will the wife. Everyone's happy.
To make your oasis complete, you need tunes. A five-CD stereo system is ideal, with the tuner adjacent to the toilet and speakers carefully positioned in every corner. Put the stereo on full blast and your wife need never be embarrassed again by your bathroom sounds when company comes.
Lastly, your man bath needs a fridge. Why not enjoy your soak in the tub with a good brew and maybe some munchies too? They make these great under-the-counter versions for college dorm rooms. If a college kid can have his own private fridge, why not you?
Now, how are you going to make all these essential bathroom renovations without the wife screaming about it? Do the work while she's gone. Wait until she's off to her mother's or gone shopping then get out the tools. Underhanded? Yes, but it's easier to get forgiveness than permission isn't it? Just put locks on everything when you're done or else her stuff will get into your safe, your stereo and your fridge. And "Lifetime" will be on your TV.
