Build Bath & Shower

As any good basement remodeler will tell you, it's the little things that really make the difference. Installing a basement bathroom is a great idea, and it pays back for itself by 80% or more when the home is sold. If you could make a major difference in how much you enjoy your remodeled space by spending another $50 or so, wouldn't you choose to?

While fixed shower heads that are mounted to the wall may give a sleek designer look to a shower, they can be much more difficult to repair than handheld models...

Organize those showers with the  Bath Bliss Shower Caddy . We have this same one in the kids bathroom and it’s great. Everything is in one spot. There is enough room for my son’s shampoo and body wash as well as my daughter’s stuff but the best part is that the water drains off the caddy. I hate when the soap is sitting in water for hours and starts to turn the soap into mush.  This caddy is designed to be hung easily and securely over most shower heads with the no- slip PVC head grip . The deep shelves will accommodate most shower items including larger economy bottles . The two large self-draining shelves and soap holder store your bath items. Bath Bliss Shower Caddy , Chrome/Prince: 3-tier shelving 2 accessory hooks Separate soap dish Glossy chrome finish Bottle holder design Dimensions: 11.5″L x 24″W x 5″H
