Nothing beats a leisurely shower

This is my Grohe rain shower. Where it now stands is where the bathtub (from the previous owner of my home) used to be. We decided to remove the bathtub and build a big shower stall in its place because

1. we'll probably hardly use the bathtub anyway - especially not when I'm so busy with my son during my free time

2. we wanted more storage space in the bathroom, so with this shower stall, we can get rid of the original shower cubicle and build a storage cabinet in its place

3. showers are easier and faster to enjoy anyway

I always enjoy my showers after a hard day's work. I remember during my maternity leave, long showers were also a rare treat - I had to quickly be done with showering before my son woke up!

Which was why we decided to splurge on this $1.2K Grohe shower head. The ROI from years of use to come and the joys of leisurely showers just makes it worth it.

I had a ledge built on the other end of the rain shower. It was meant to be a sitting area for me as I get my mask done or do my scrubs while the smells of aromatherapy fill the bathroom - like what you get in a spa.
I haven't got down to using it for that yet. Meanwhile it has become a "shelf" for the family's toiletries and Ian's container "toys". How glam is that. But I suppose this is what a home is really about. Homes don't look anything like show flats when you have a young child. And I certainly don't mind it at all.
