The bathroom in the master/owner's suite has two walk-in closets, a double sink, a giant deep bathtub...maybe called a garden tub (a perfect place to put in a fish tank or some sort of plant-y thing if I was that kind of person unless we install several grab bars or a crane for getting in and out of said tub)...and a small shower with sliding glass doors. You would not think there was anything to complain about BUT...I am claustrophobic and my balance is sometimes a bit unsteady. PLUS did I say the shower was a small shower?! It seems to be a foot narrower than the beautiful step in shower in the master suite in our old home. Every time I entered that shower and slid the door shut behind me I cringed. Seriously. Did not make showering a fun experience.
Anyway, as you might expect, I was not perfectly comfortable with the owner's shower so I started using the guest shower. The tub there has rather high sides. Dear One kindly installed the flexible shower sprayer that we had purchased in Oregon and used there. Early on he re-installed that sprayer in the guest shower. That was wonderful.
Of course, with the aforementioned unsteadiness, I was a bit concerned about getting in and out of even that tub/shower. SO that dear man installed a wonderful grab bar for me!
He also replaced the nice shower rod my sister had given us with a permanent curved rod. All in all, I like the guest bathroom now. It is quite small and the tub/shower enclosure was installed in such a way that a horizontal grab bar is not reasonable, but may I say I really love the "enter and exit" grab bar. It makes me smile every single day when I use it.
