My DIY Custom Shower

If I go missing, I may just be hiding out in here, all wrinkly like a prune!

I am so thrilled with my new shower. Before the renovation, it was small dark and MOLDY.  Now, it is filled with light, spacious and gorgeous.

Huge thank you to folks at Lomax Carpet and Tile for offering such beautiful Travertine tile at such affordable prices. Granite threshold and half wall slabs are from Let’s Get Stoned and shower doors are from Affordable Custom Enclosures.  For details on doing your own granite countertop, read my post on how to Do It Yourself.  The shower doors were not a DIY project. I let the pros handle this part and so should you.
