Shower curtain or shower doors?
Comments (20)We are building our master bathroom with a doorless/curtainless shower. I searched for a decent picture, but this is the best I could come up with from my files. This is "in progress", so you will have to use your imagination a bit. The walls in the room will have a 4' white subway tile wainscoting (up to the ledge below the medicine cabinets). A pedestal sink will sit in front of each of the medicine cabinets. The entire shower will be tiled with the same white subway. The walls on the shower are 7'. A little hard to imagine, but when you walk into the shower, turn left and the controls and nozzle are in the corner towards the sinks so the stream is directed towards the center of the shower, but angled to the back right corner. In the front (at the door) there is a 4" curb. Hope this is helpful. I'm hoping the tile will be complete next week, so if I can get some better pictures then, I'll share if there is any interest....See MoreAnyone use drapes over patio door instead of vertical blinds?
Comments (8)Ooh nice photos, yes I have boring sliders as my DH thought that french doors were less energy efficient. (Silly yes I know) but at least I think I can open the doors in the summer with the screens on for fresh air with sliders. I love all the photos. One quick question does anyone suggest a double rod with drapes and then a sheer underneath or do you think that a curtain will be good enough? One door is in the kitchen, but one is in the master bedroom and we want room darkening somehow. I did purchase the silk drapes from PB and I bet they will not be dark enough, but I just had to have them anyway....See MoreYour experience of shower curtains ? (instead of glass)
Comments (10)long shower curtainI chose to use a shower curtain in my new master bath. I had glass doors in my old master bath, and NO WAY would DH squeegee the doors ever! So I ended up doing the daily cleaning, and after I got sick of it, the doors looked terrible! All spotted with soap and hard water spots! I cleaned them once a week, but the rest of the time, they looked awful! So, in my new shower, I do have a curb that's 4" high. I have a tension rod, but when I get organized, I'll get a solid brass fixed rod. I'll have my handyman put it up. I'm not worried about drilling into the tile because he's super-meticulous and will do a great job. I have a very pretty cotton shower curtain that stays outside the curb, and a polyester fabric liner that stays inside the curb. The liner does get that pink mold on the bottom, so every once in a while I wash it in hot water, and the mold comes out. I have several of these (very cheap, purchased at TJMaxx), so I just put up a clean one and toss the moldy one into the laundry. Water never gets outside the curb, but the liner does get wet. The decorative shower curtain outside the curb never gets wet either. If I didn't have a curb, I would NOT let the shower curtain trail on the floor. Use a bathmat outside the shower to collect water if it seeps out under the shower curtain. If you let the shower curtain trail on the floor, it will stay wet and will get moldy very quickly. I know because my tension rod was hung too low for a while, which meant the shower curtain liner was trailing on the floor. It became disgusting very quickly. If I were you, OP, I'd hang the curtain so it just brushes the floor. That way it will dry out after your shower, but it will prevent water from splashing out onto the dry area of the floor while you are showering.Here's an 8' polyester shower curtain: long shower curtain...See MoreShowers...anyone have solid material instead of tile on walls?
Comments (17)We're just in the process of planning a main bathroom gut and reno. We decided solid surface in the tub/shower and on the wall behind the toilet and backsplash at the sink would be our preference. We found a gorgeous piece of granite for the vanity so then wanted something to go well with it and the cabinets. Our choice was a pattern in Caesarstone quartz. You can get 1 cm, 2 cm or 3 cm, so for our purpose 1 cm would be ideal. However we will need deep pockets if we go this route. Our first quote for the Caesarstone alone (close to 2 slabs required) is between $6,000 and $7,000 installed, hopefully closer to the lower end of that. My heart fell as we had everything co-ordinated. We are getting a 2nd quote on Caesarstone and some Cambria which is less expensive if we can find a colour we like. The Caesarstone comes from Israel so it is more expensive because of the shipping costs. If we were hiring a tile setter to do tile (if we chose that route) I'm not sure what we would pay, but it would be a few thousand dollars for sure. But we would do it ourselves, as we have tiled a lot in our home. So our labour is free. It makes it a lot harder to justify spending so much on the solid surface we chose. Still trying to see what we can do for a better price. We are going to see Flo Form this week thru the Costco program. saves a few dollars. The quartz can be cut for openings to have niches on the shower walls and of course for the holes required to fit shower controls, faucets etc. It would be templated, just like a countertop is....See Morecrescent50
