I WANT THAT SHOWER!!!! it sounds beautiful, all I have here is a small tub
with a shower head sticking out that we have used CLR and other stuff on...it 'sprikles' (my daugthers term) out like its rebelling at you for actually expecting it to do its job. what's worse, no water pressure here. so I just take long hot bubble baths instead. takes about 30 mins to fill up the tub but that's less frustrating than trying to get the water temperature to oh say....actually stay ONE temperature (warm) while dealing with the showers other geriatric effects. peepla wrote in message ...

Its brilliant - I want one!!! snip --- The Shower Room Which Will Live Forever In My Mind: Picture a _very_ large, glass enclosed room, located in a private, sequestered garden. Exotic plants riots lushly outside, probably a sybaritic Hawaiian setting. Within the glass walls, on all sides, a natural looking path of finely-polished wood borders the center of the room. Within this frame, huge grey rocks tumble down, looking as they would occur in nature, on either side of the room, forming an enormous shower area, and small pool. Shower heads seem to originate within the rock itself. Very Zen, primal and compelling. Plus, who scrubs rocks? Cea |

I once lived in an apartment that had a tiny bathroom with a drain in the
floor. The shower head was in a corner; the door latched back to form a shower door, protecting sink and toilet from the spray. The whole space was about the same size as a standard shower stall. -- Ruth in Happy Camp "Judy Grevenites" wrote in message ...

no, I can understand that! back home, all the baths and sometimes the
kitchens have drains and slightly slanted floors. believe me, it is a pleasure to clean a room with lots of water than then goes away and doesn't need to be moped up! no stray hairs, everything dissapears magically down the drain. that is one thing it took me some time to get used to, together with the lack of bidets and some apartments here that don't have a ceiling light fixture but where the switch by the door turns on an outlet.... subtle cultural differences... ) Kathy Applebaum wrote: Don't tell my DH -- this would be his dream room!

Actually the light in the ceiling is more a dated thing
then regional. I grew up in houses that has a light in the center ceiling. (40-60's houses). The house my folks live in and my 'newer' houses have all had the half hot outlet for lights plugged in. Now there is lots of canned lighting so maybe we'll see more wall switches again? We have put ceiling fans with lights in our houses (with wall switches) and they are great.

Well that chute from the closets are supposed to be my children's arms.
They don't always reach the laundry room though. lol Elena "Dr. Quilter" wrote in message ... a chute from every closet in the house to a basket in the laundry room would be nice, uh? or maybe two, one for whites, one for colours...
