Don’t Install a Bathtub You Won’t Use

    • Basic tub size 5-ft x2½-ft.
    • Converting it to a shower cost effective

      • The Perfect Shower

      • Walk in Shower
      • Linear drain
      • Bench
      • Grab bars
      • Hand Held shower head on bar
      • Soap niche large enough to hold what you use
      • Several shower heads

        • Don’t Make the Toilet the First Thing You See When You Open the Door

        • Think privacy

          • Adequate Lighting

          • Task lighting & mirror lighting avoiding shadows
          • Mood lighting
          • Incorporate layers of task, accent, ambient and decorative lighting
