Homeowners are installing clear glass showers with low or no curbs when they remodel; multiple showerheads are also popular. (Photo: ReBath) It's not that bathtubs are disappearing in Arizona homes; it's that showers are getting bigger and better. Bathroom remodelers say one of the most popular homeowner requests is removing the old tub and shower in the master bath and replacing them with a wild-and-crazy shower with all the latest spray-jets, bells and whistles. If this is your plan, be sure you have at least one tub in the house when you're ready to sell. You could turn off buyers with small children and maybe other buyers who love long bubble baths . The shower trend may say something about the graying of baby boomers. "A lot of it has to do with 'what do I have to do to stay in my house' and 'I can't step over the edge of the bath tub to get in and out any more,' " according to Kurt Kittleson of ReBath and Kitchens in Phoenix.

If a man could simply drop his shorts and walk in to a shower, would he be inclined to take one more often? Perhaps he would if he could see something tantalizing waiting for him on the other side. And what about a woman? Could a glass enclosed, high-tech shower help wash away the stresses of her day? Could it perhaps even make her a bit more risqué? These are compelling questions and one way to find out the answers is to install a walk-in shower and see what happens. Walk-in showers are THE latest trend in bathroom decorating. They’re sleek, contemporary, and practically maintenance-free and right now they’re more affordable than ever. When it comes to the bathroom, too many people take this room for granted.

Are you happy with what you see? Is it soothing and relaxing? If its appearance is somewhat sterile or ...

Q. I want my shower to look as high-end as possible, but I’m on a budget: Which is better, shower curtain or glass door? A. The choice between a shower curtain and a glass enclosure depends largely on the layout of your bathroom and the style of your home. For a stand-alone, walk-in shower, the answer is simple, said Jessica Helgerson, an interior designer in Portland, Ore. “Glass doors are almost always preferable,” she said, noting that companies like Century Bathworks and American Shower Door make some appealing options. For a combination tub and shower, the answer isn’t as clear cut. In that situation, she said, you could go either way. Glass panels provide a clean, modern appearance, but shower curtain s also have advantages. A shower curtain made from a textural material like linen in a solid color, she said, offers a simple, appealing look. And if it gets dirty, it’s easy to take down and wash. In a tight space, a shower curtain also “provides better accessibility,” she ...

The 2552 twin-bed rear-bath Phoenix Cruiser Class B-plus has a bright and open floorplan that truly shines Even before I saw the Phoenix Cruiser , I already liked it because of the name. And there had to be a backstory about why an RV is named after a mythological bird that dies in a fire of its own making, only to rise from the ashes. Well, it turns out that is the Phoenix Cruiser story : “It came out of the ashes of a previous company that was started by a man with a dream on a shoestring budget,” explained Earl Robbins , sales manager. The company, founded in 1996, successfully manufactured Class B-plus motorhomes until 2008 when the recession hit.

Their purchase was a sign of the best intentions, but then they had been buried at the back of a cupboard—often covered in grease or dust! Name a product and you can be sure that we have tried it. Here is a list of the supplies we never ...
