Bathroom Thoughts - Page 2

Shower curtains as soooo old school! My home is new, 3 years old. We opted to have a super huge shower, tub is in the guest bathroom. I have glass doors that are the new barn door style in my master bath. No tracks at the bottom. Its such a breeze to keep clean. No crevaces to dig gunk out of! Just wipe the sliding doors and I'm good to go.

I have a very small bathroom. And it's the main one of the house. I'm thinking of shortening the tub to put a storage cabinet or shelves at the end. Not sure how to post a picture so you can get a visual.

Personally, we take showers 95% of the time, so I would put in a luxury shower with glass doors (the frosted ones). The clear ones are awful to try to keep clean. However, I would definitely put in a standard size tub. I have a friend who put in one of those smaller oval tubs, and neither she nor her husband can stretch out their legs in it. Doesn't sound enjoyable to me.

I am not a fan of tub baths at this stage of my life, so a bathtub is not a necessity for me. I like large showers, and prefer shower curtains.

My adult daughters do like to soak in the tub occasionally, so I did keep a tub in the main bath when we remodeled in 2007. If you still have people in the house who enjoy tub baths, then going with a smaller tub will not make people happy.

Would you consider a walk in tub, for both convenience and space? That option would eliminate shower curtains and shower doors, as well as put you ahead in the event you need handicapped accessibility.

I do not enjoy a tub. TMI - but it is not good for my urinary area.

I love shower curtains! Easy to change, and wash.

Do what is right for you but I would neve make a tub a priority.

Are you in love with a tub? If not, I'd get rid of it and put in a really nice shower.

If I had a choice, I'd go with shower curtains. I currently have doors and they are a pain. Plus, it's boring. The ones I have show every little spot. And it's difficult cleaning them --- climbing in the tub, etc.

I would go with shower curtains. There is so much to pick from and you can pop them in the wash.
