In a world where the clawfoot tub is king, shower stalls get very little respect. Admit it - when you think "shower," your mind goes to cramped spaces, weird mold smells, and damp dorm bathrooms that you'd never venture into without flip-flops.
That's not really fair, though. When my husband and I designed our master bathroom last year, we did something bold - we went straight shower stall. No bathtub in sight. And you know what? It's great. It's roomy and pretty and really, really useful.
So here's a little love for that unappreciated feature, the shower stall:

This shower stall has such a beachy feel - I love the bright turquoise and the very clear glass of the door.
Shower stalls are perfect for sleek, modern baths. I love the spa-like feel of this one.

At an architectural salvage place here in Baltimore, there is a gigantic marble shower, complete with about 6 showerheads. That's what this reminded me of (but on a slightly smaller scale). It's grandiose and dramatic and amazing.

| These doors are fabulous - though I can't completely figure them out. Don't they look a little like revolving doors? Is that what they are? |

| This circular shower isn't exactly private, but it's pretty great. |
And, of course, shower stalls are perfect for the outdoors (because face it - "outdoor bathtub" just doesn't have much of a ring to it). I love this pretty tile backsplash - so Mediterranean and so relaxing.

If I had this in my yard, I'd never shower inside. In warm weather, that is.

Of course, I remember to use it about once a month...but that's my own fault.
These new channel drains look great and open the door for more layout options for tight spaces.
Removing the curb in a small bathroom can make the room look bigger.
