Bathroom Shower Stall Ideas | eHow

Whether you are upgrading your existing shower stall or adding a new one, you have many options. Consider whether this will be a daily use shower stall or one designed for occasional guests. The size and overall design of your bathroom will also play a role in what your shower stall looks like, but don't limit yourself until you've checked out all your options.

Walk-in Shower For small bathrooms, designing a walk-in shower stall can make great use of existing space. For larger baths, it can keep the room feeling open and expansive. Design the entire bathroom floor in nonslip tile that slopes slightly toward the shower drain, then tile the walls around one end or corner of the bathroom up to at least 6 feet high for your shower area. If your bathroom is large, you can simply let the shower spray fall freely or place a water-resistant folding screen between the shower and other parts of the room for privacy. For smaller baths, hang a curtain to block the shower spray from other parts of the bathroom. Add a Head In upgrades and newly built shower stalls alike, multi-head showers can make your daily cleansing feel luxurious. Install seemingly separate heads with hidden plumbing so a rainfall-style shower head casts water straight down for washing your hair. An adjustable-height arm then can be used to provide front or back spray. Make the adjustable arm a hand-held shower head for further luxury. Install a knob that allows you to control whether one or both shower heads gets the water and use pressurizing heads so you don't sacrifice water pressure when you split the flow. You don't have to stop at two shower heads, either. Modern European-style showers offer full-body spray, or even shower stalls that spray from every wall. Slate and Stone Slate and natural stone tiles offer a comfortable, nonslip surface and a rich look for your bathroom. Give your shower stall a grotto look by tiling with natural stone. Create a half-wall, about 4 to 4.5 feet high, with one end open. Use this to contain the spray rather than a shower door. Place moisture-loving plants, such as ferns, in pots along the top of the half wall to complete the look. Don't be afraid of the darkness of natural stone. The warm undertones will make your shower stall feel enveloping rather than cramped, and adding a moisture-resisting recessed light above the shower will take care of any visibility issues.

Today I’m sharing how to install tile flush with hardwood floors, like I did in my bathroom.  Can you believe the Jack and Jill bathroom finally has floors?  I’m making slow but steady progress.  The vanity area of the bathroom has a combination of hardwood and tile.  The room that contains the shower and toilet is all tile but it butts up to the wood in the other room.   Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors" /> I wanted the tile to be flush with the hardwood floors so I installed the tile on LATICRETE STRATA_MAT™ XT   .    It helps create an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8″ thick tile and 3/4″thick hardwood flooring.  The STRATA_MAT XT replaces 1/4″ thick cement board — it’s much lighter, easier to cut and installs with just mortar (no screws required). install tile flush with hardwood floor" /> Installing STRATA_MAT XT I cut a piece of STRATA_MAT XT to fit in the powder room.  Then I test fit that piece and cut out the vent and toilet drain hole .  I

Ken “Bear” Iddins of Buffalo Hats reveals his unique eight-foot custom Six- Pac shell model with an extremely custom, tricked-out, and modified interior.  Are those really stained glass windows ? Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming.
