Did you know that taking a shower rather than a bath was at one time considered eccentric. Then again, there was a time when it was impractical to take a bath on a daily basis and a portable bathtub was brought into a room and filled by hand with water heated on a fire.

And then, today we can experience the Jacuzzi shower or are concerned more about the environment to the extent that a shower becomes a water salvaging experience. A shower does in fact use much less water than running a full tub of water.

This book will help you turn your ideas into a reality. Have you ever thought of a full circle tub? How about a corner bathtub to save space? Then, have you considered turning your bathroom into your own personal spa with hydrotherapy?

Would you consider using hand-colored tiles or would you prefer wood flooring? IS carpet out of the question? Find out the advantages and disadvantages of each floor covering you might want to consider.

If you turn to page 52, you will see an unfitted bathroom plan that is just amazingly cute. Here you have a "bathing atmosphere." A tub next to a fireplace, a place to sit in an armchair to apply lotions or just to relax with a book and heated towel racks. Why are more bathrooms not created this way?

For the creative parent, there are some cute ideas for a 3-D design complete with an underwater kingdom that would delight any young child.

A directory of useful names and addresses gives you access to brochures or extensive catalogs.

Practical and Inspirational.
