I'm calling this final until my next meeting with the GC: Deke, my current closet door is only 24", so I'm happy I'm gaining some space! Kirk, a towel warmer on the wall between the shower and entry door. I have almost 3' there, and the towel warmer in my current bathroom is 20" and pretty sufficient, so that's a go. Then a regular towel bar (also probably 20") on the wall between the tub and window. I'll see about doing a mock-up, but I'm picturing getting out of the shower -- with the entry door closed -- and having a pretty big space in front of me. Is your concern the space between the open shower door and the wall between the bath/bedroom? If the scale in the program is accurate, it's about 3'10" -- just using a tape measure, that feels like a lot of room to me. Maybe I'm not getting your question :)? Here's the current closet plan too -- I'm losing 10" of tall hanging space but gaining 110"+ of short! I might turn the double-hanging section on wall B into more long, or maybe make the drawers in B only 24" instead of the current 30". I love the hamper/linen wall A :). And finally, some 48" vanities -- the next to last one is the 55" one I can't use. My dilemma -- I really like the open shelf on 3 and 4, but really like the green glass on the others. Haven't found that combo yet in the size I want! Thanks for the ongoing dialogue -- very helpful. Here is a link that might be useful: Vanities on Flickr

The store in Dover, NH took a pile of expired ones last week, including one that was more than five years old which I'd found in the bottom of my filing cabinet! Unfortunately, I had to return most of the items and they wouldn't give me any coupons back so I couldn't buy the replacements I'd planned on because yes, otherwise things are pretty expensive there. The prices were almost exactly the same at LNT though, and LNT was obnoxious about their coupons (well, they were obnoxious in general). I get one of the 20%-off postcard ones about every six weeks or so, but a few times I've resorted to eBay to get a dozen or so coupons for a couple of dollars if I've needed to get a bunch of small items (they do add up!).

extra wide stairs even if it is just to the basement, b/c if you are in a w/c and decide to put a chair lift in the person assisting in transferring you from chair to chair would have to straddle/step over you if you don't have a wide enough stairway to allow them to walk around you. I too work home healthcare as a hospice nurse for over 5 years and everything she said is spot on. The fewer types of flooring the easier/better. Less risk of fall, no throw rugs, and even area rugs become problematic if you have to navigate around them. Lots of low storage so they don't have to feel like a burden asking someone to get something for them. As far as the hand held shower goes the ones that are adjustable like these pictures [https://www.houzz.com/photos/adjustable-showerhead-phbr0lbl-bl~l_8151[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/adjustable-showerhead-phbr0lbl-bl~l_8151) are great then if someone using the ADA shower is able to stand up they can adjust the height to better suit them. Also don't let builders tell you 30" is adequate and meets ADA requirements for door way widths...while it is an acceptable minimum getting wheelchairs through are a PITA. I plan on using 36" in our build. A lot really like the rocker style light switches as they are easier than a traditional switch, lever style or even oblong doorknobs are easier than a round doorknob. How will they open the window if in a wheelchair, the hand crank windows are easier for them, though my experience is in end of life care I know a few of our families used them and really liked them. I have seen a bathroom in a patient's home that was very cool, they had a large bathroom and modified it to be accessible for her husband. The cabinet "vanity" was on caster type wheels so she could move it out from under the sink and he could roll his w/c under and shave himself. They had a decorative top they could put on it if they wanted to leave it out as a piece of furniture or remove it and roll it back under the sink to look like a standard vanity. Reenforce walls where you might want hand rails like at the toilets and showers, they have some lovely ones now that don't look as industrial and blend a little better [https://www.houzz.com/photos/aging-in-place-transitional-bathroom-los-angeles-phvw-vp~8286386[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/aging-in-place-transitional-bathroom-los-angeles-phvw-vp~8286386) this gets the job done, but screams handicap accessible, something like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/26951297741626349/ blends but is just a functional https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394276142347540350/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/132293307777113477/

Why not a membership card or similar? They actually did go the membership route. I think that was one of the nails in their coffin. A lot of people despise membership cards. Coupons were the way to go and you could stack them for multiple items at a single purchase. If you understood basic math you could use the 15 and 30 dollar off coupons to get the best percentage off surpassing the 20 percent off ones. Personally I hate the trend to memberships and don't even get me started on the annoyance of digital coupons. Buy Buy Baby (another BB&B Co) is also closing. I think it's the last place that catered to new parents. We used to have so many places to shop when expecting. Kidde Worlds Toys R Us and many other shops with one stop shopping for the under 10 set. I'd have no idea where to buy a crib or a changing table these days. All we have left are Carter's Outlets for clothing.
