8 foot for shower stall ? Isn't that too tall
Comments (7)I am 5'7" and we have an 8' tiled ceiling in our shower. I really like it. It seems tall but not out of proportion to our shower which is 57" x 51". We have a 6" soffit that goes around the front perimeter and our glass goes full height to the soffit. Our previous shower was closer to 48" x 36", I believe, and had a 7' ceiling that was not tiled. The combination of the lower ceiling and the untiled surface meant that it always got wet and needed cleaning constantly. I find the higher ceiling height is easy because it really doesn't get wet so cleaning isn't needed regularly. Having 8' walls does mean that when we squeegee after each shower, I can't quite reach to the top. That hasn't caused any issues though because the upper 6" or so is out of the splash area. I just put little step stool in the shower when I'm doing a full cleaning. I hope that makes sense. I linked pictures below if that makes it easier to visualize.

Comments (23)Wrighthouse, thanks. Since I've never used the tub (or shower) in the bathroom attached to the bedroom, I'm used to walking down the hall to take a bath every night. That's no hardship. I don't mind that. I just want to do what is best design-wise, with the space. Down the road, will future buyers go oooh & ahhh over the thought of a super-spacious shower, since most of America showers?? If so, it's worth the investment, & worth me walking down the hall to bathe. If not, then I should think about other options.

Comments (36)I think the sink opposite the range is fine. But I don't think there's enough refrigeration looking forward with a growing family. Now perhaps this is just me -- your desires and needs should be paramount. You're taking down a wall and combining the kitchen and dining room. LOVE that! Very smart. But then there's a tangle of chairs and stools around the island. The table is a few steps away. That makes no sense to me honestly. I see it all the time and think it might be so much better to build an island with storage and prep and additional refrigeration features -- things that even the kids can use as they grow. If they do their homework or art projects they can use the big table. That lovely bay window is practically ignored! I'd look to use that with a window seat built in and a mom chair nearby....See MoreAnyone ever tried "Baby Foot" foot peel?
Comments (12)Oh gosh I wouldn't pay that much...I used this one... http://www.ulta.com/foot-peeling-shoes?productId=xlsImpprod13762293&sku=2298319&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=aud-296640371193:pla-374234111721&CAAGID=24440056110&CAWELAID=330000200000484114&catargetid=330000200001269181&cadevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3bypjaSZ1wIVw4KzCh01sAz8EAQYASABEgKyk_D_BwE Yes it works....yes it's gross (they're booties so you can't really concentrate the gel on one particular area....and be prepared to do it when you can put your feet up for an hour) I would only do it if I wasn't going to go barefoot or wear flops for a week or so. The peeling can be made to LOOK less bad with plenty of an oil based cream...
