What does your Bathroom look like??

[rivasfrank]

I am trying to get an idea of what other fellow Para/quads bathroom setups look like.

There was a really great thread about that awhile back - there have been several, actually, but I bookmarked this one (http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=110134) because it has so many photos (I'm planning a renovation, too).

I have a smallish bathroom, so I had to maximize space. The best thing about my bathroom is that I had the door widened to 36". My shower is to right of that, but it is big enough to "park" parallel to the shower chair for transfers. My faucets are standard issue Delta faucets with the single lever that I can move with the back of my quad paws.

Sarah's bathroom has been remodeled - ceramic tile floor, door has been widened, ADA sink and toilet were installed on the left side, and roll-in shower was completed to roll Sarah straight in. Prior to this being completed, it was just an average size bathroom. It very functional as long as she has help. Not much room to move around.

I wasnt sure if the OP was referring to remodeling or setup.

For me, remodeling my bathroom(s) is part of my 10 year plan, but for now they are "stock".

I've moved quite a few times, and have tried many different bathrooms layouts.
I learned to prefer this basic setup, and when I eventually bought a house with this was one of my necessities.

I'm para, and right handed. I keep my bathroom supplies in the cabinet/drawers to my right, which I can reach from the toilet.
I use a showchair as my grabbar (or just grab the side of the tub) to help me lean over to the left.
The shower/tub being within transfer-distance from the toilet is very convenient.
Also those curved shower curtain rods make alot more space for you in the shower. Definitely recommended.

I am getting a new home built. I will have the same shower room but with a wall hung toilet, Corian shelves instead of stainless steel and the grate will be remove where a 1" slot will be on the floor. Tile will cover 1" on each side of the trench drain.

I will also have a custom built cabinet and mirror cabinet made of white Corian. The mirrors will slide not swing out and be water resistance. After three years the finish is wearing off from the moisture.

Any questions? Email me at titanium4motion@roadrunner.com

Not my home bathroom, but I was fortunate to go on a cruise on the Ruby Princess recently, and this was the bathroom for the wc cabin I had:

It was such a nice design, there were wide grate drains all around the shower area and at the door threshold, so the room stayed fairly dry. There was also a roll-under sink angled across the left front corner, sorry I didn't take more photos. I loved the drop-down slatted shower bench, too.
The cruise and the room and the excellent bathroom were far beyond my imaginings!

Cool Shower - chosen specifically because -
The hand held shower fitting pushes up into the upright pipe to the shower Rose, good system as you don't suddenly get a hit of freezing or burning water, just the same temperature you have been using with the hand held fitting.
