We're also trying to find the right tile for our shower, since we're currently redoing the master bath and will later need to tile the shower in the guest room. For some reason tile is the one thing I can't seem to decide! We may split the difference and go with shiny in the guest room, which is more traditional/white, and go with a matte natural stone in the master, since it's more of a rustic spa feel. Maybe you can have it both ways and do the same? :) Good luck!

If this is the amount of room that is available though, there may not be much choice. Not everyone can magically make their houses larger. Saying "don't bother if you can't make it bigger" is really a non-productive suggestion for a bathroom, because then it's just a powder room. On the super sturdy end of the market. Creative Terrazzo makes a 34" Neo Angle. http://www.creative-terrazzo.com/specsheets/ShowerFlorentineNeoFullThr.pdf In the mid-range, Swanstone makes a 36" Neo-angle if you can find a few extra inches. Maax makes a Neo Round at 32"+ Dreamline makes acrylic ones in Neo Round at 33" I hope one of these works. Your guests may appreciate not having to hose off in the yard because you were afraid to put in a shower that was small. Here is a link that might be useful: Dreamline.

Hello, and thanks for your advice! The shower was yesterday and the whole event was a great success. I was really nervous about it as it was the first baby shower I have hosted and I didn't know most of the guests, but everything went really well. For the fabric painting, I did end up buying the Crayola fabric markers. They were under $4 at Target for a package of 8. I would have spent at least twice that much at JoAnn Etc. for others types of fabric paints, and since I planned this shower with under three weeks' notice, I didn't have time to set aside money so I was watching my pennies. I purchased 3 packages of the markers for 15 people and there seemed to be plenty to go around. The markers had a medium tip, probably about the same as a standard Crayola marker. They are very much like regular Crayola markers, actually - just with permanent fabric dye rather than whatever ink is normally used. They were not at all like paint. The dye can be set by tossing the clothes into a dryer on the highest setting for 30 minutes. The fabric markers were very simple to work with - I'm sure other products might have looked more professional or something, but the Crayola markers were excellent for what I needed - cheerful, no mess, no fuss. I cut cardstock in the shape of the onesies/t-shirts and put it inside the clothing. I did not tape as the cardstock cutouts fit the clothing pretty tightly. Some of the bigger onesies (I had a variety of sizes) required two sheets of cardstock, one while sheet for the top and another smaller cutout for the butt. I won an eBay auction for 11 new, plain white onesies/t-shirts in various sizes, and supplemented with a package of 5 from Target. As far as the actual activity - the guests in general really seemed to enjoy it. I told them as they were coming in that after we ate we would be painting the onesies so they should start thinking about ideas. When brunch was over I removed the table linens and replaced them with a plastic table cover to protect our dining room table (seats 10) and another one on the large-ish coffee table in the living room, around which another 5 people sat (we have a large sectional - there was plenty of seating, much to my relief.) The shower was a Pooh theme so I had a couple of Pooh books out for inspiration; also, as part of another activity, everyone had a scrapbook sticker with a baby-related word or phrase on it so I suggested that people look at their stickers for creative inspiration also. One guest put the logo of her alma mater on the from and the logo of her alma mater's biggest rival on the butt. The mommy-to-be made "Daddy's Instruction Manual" by writing head - arms - legs etc. on the corresponding parts of the onesie. It was very cute. One guest who had a t-shirt drew a simple black cat on the upper middle part of the chest - very simple but cute. Other people wrote quotes from Pooh. One guest drew a picture of Pooh on the chest. Other guests just drew the word on their aforementioned sticker in fancy script. Several guests decorated the neck and leg trim on the onesies with dots, stripes, etc. The grandmother-to-be wrote "Grama Loves Me" on hers and added other decorations. People were very creative; only one guest (my mom of all people) found herself without ideas, and I think she finally just wrote "Mommy's Little Angel" on the front of the shirt. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures. I lost my digital camera last week. Since the mommy-to-be lives out of town and got on a plane immediately following the shower yesterday, I stated on the invitations that I would take care of shipping gifts to her. I thought that I would have the onesies here for a couple of days and would take pictures when we get a new camera today or tomorrow. (We have it picked out but didn't have time to buy it this weekend.) Fortunately for my budget, but unfortunately for this thread, the mommy- and daddy-to-be brought an extra empty suitcase and due to the remarkable packing skills of the daddy, they were able to fit nearly everything into that suitcase. A few things were left behind but not, unfortunately, the onesies. One of the guests was taking lots of pictures so if I ever get those and she caught the onesies, I'll post back here. Thanks again for your advice and support...I know where to come next time I need guidance!

You really do have to know your guests... I once hosted a bridal shower in which I had a variety of craft items available for the guests to make Christmas tree ornaments, which then were given to the bride-to-be. The shower was a casual event, with not a lot of "activities" planned, and the ornament items were just setting on a table, available to be used, or not. Most of the guests made an ornament, but not everyone, and that was fine.
