Rod from glass shower wall to side wall - This is a beautiful bathroom! I was wondering about the purpose of the rod across the top of the shower stall. I've never seen one across the top from glass wall to tiled side wall.
Thanks. »
Avalon Interiors It there to stabilize the glass panel for when the door opens as the bulk head does not come all the way across the ceiling on the fixed panel. It is not always required, depends on the application.
Please tell me the color paint in this bathroom! - need to know paint color in bathroom with dark wood draws and white sink. beige color paint . what it name of paint please im going crazy looking for nice bathroom paint and I like this one. thank you. Felice »
Need help with outdoor party/festoon lights - Could you send as many examples in pictures as you can of outdoor party lighting concepts such as lanterns, festoon lights etc for a garden measuring approx 40 ft long by 15 ft wide. Many thanks, Tom. »
Is that a linear drain/catch basin on the floor outside of the shower? - Love the practicality of eliminating a raised shower basin edge. Did you add a thin overflow drain? And how high is the stone lip (looks like it might be 1") »
Avalon Interiors This photo is showing an odd perspective as that is actually a raised threshold with a wood base underneath. The drain is visible inside the shower floor. I have done numerous zero threshold showers using Acco linear drains. Sloping the floor to drain with a zero threshold was not possible for this project.
Thank you for mentioning the product tags - Hi, Thanks for describing how to access the information. I was on my i-pad and the tags do not come up! I had to switch to my computer! »
Avalon Interiors Sounds like you need some design assistance. Feel free to contact our office to make an appointment.
We'll look forward to hearing from you!
Pacific Coastal Home Staging When you have really hard water, it makes for scum, but the baking soda and vinegar work really well. Add lemon juice for fresh clean smell.
Avalon Interiors This shower does have a threshold to prevent water from coming out but you can easily do a zero threshold by grading the floor towards the drain. This client opted for threshold.

How do you turn on the shower without getting a blast of cold water? - Beautiful bathroom! We are looking at doing a similar size shower but with a single panel of glass starting at the fixture end of the shower and open at the end. But wondering how we can avoid walking in and turning the water on without getting sprayed with cold water....any feedback would be appreciated, thank you! »
miacater who is the manufacture of thie shower tile and what is it called I LOVE IT!!!! I'm in California and can't find anything that looks like this. . . . . Mia
Avalon Interiors Glad you like it! If you click on 'more info' you will see the product image tags as well as answers/comments already relating to your question. Another Houzzer suggested http://www.floordecorct.com/ for a similar tile.
Avalon Interiors Sure you could do that especially if you do them in a high gloss to match the sink finish. That will give you a more modern look, if you want it a bit calmer, try for a matte finish. Be careful not to have the size of the subway tile too large or it wont compliment the floor tile. They should be different in scale from each other.

gdavis62 The spout is called a toe tester. You go into the shower, turn it on, and when your toe tells you the temp of the flow is just right, you turn on the shower. No splash going into a shower with the showerhead doing full flow.
Suspension of mirrors - Entire house - so innovative - Congratulations How do the bathroom mirrors work? are the in a fixed frame or are they suspended an therefore prone to movement. Thank you for your time and interest. »
Where did you get the two frames above the toilet? - I love the frames and is looking for two just like that. Can you tell me where i can get them from. Thank you. »
Avalon Interiors They were ready made mirror framed artwork from HomeSense but if something similar is not available any custom frame shop can make them for you.
Missing image tags - I'm not sure why but my image is missing information tags. Perhaps this is why other readers are also asking similar questions, i.e. size of bathroom. I would also love to know this but my suggestion to others is to search small bathrooms on this app and you'll find similar images where the size is provided. »
Avalon Interiors You need to click on the 'more info' tab under the picture and then scroll over and all the image tags will appear. I just tested it and they are all there:)
Avalon Interiors Limestone is just limestone no specific colour. The colour however will vary from one supplier to another as it is a natural stone so depending on what region they are getting it from it can look quite different. Please see 'more info' on this image for full context of questions already addressed.
Hand Held Shower System - Hello. Can you please give me the manufacturer and model name/number of the hand held shower system? My contractor recommends against them but I saw your comment about choosing the correct one. I'm in the throws of my renovation so if it is convenient for you to respond ASAP, I would truly appreciate it. Beautiful Bath!! »
What does the Tub filler service in the stand up shower? - While reviewing the photo, I noticed that the stand up shower has a tub filler installed... Being interested in Design as well I would love to know the function of that feature, I've never seen that before... »
Avalon Interiors If you were banging your shins you'd have to have your body pressed to the wall as it does not protrude further than the shower head. It is not a necessary addition to any shower, but the client is happy;)
Impact Interior Design This feature doesn't make sense in this application, judging by the location of the access door to the shower, one would have to be already standing in the water to do a toe-test. But you're right Tracy...the client can have whatever they want, it's their house!

Plumbing - What is the story behind the tub spout being in the shower? Do they wash their dog in there? Beautifull design! I love the herringbone pattern in the space! »
ascup Thank you. They usually show up if I touch the screen this is te first I've had to click on the more info. Great to kow for the untrue. Thanks again
altmed I LOVE the look, but needs a tub w/ jets, multiple shower heads (both sides would be ideal), a shower seat built-in & matching tile. Add cabinet on the door-wall you can't see, that fits into the wall & matches, and a stylish safety bar made of stone, or one that looks like it is (I've seen an acrylic one online - might need to be for weight? Although you'd think if it can hold a person from falling, a few lbs of stone wouldn't be a problem IF properly installed!), and be sure the doors to the shower enclosure clean easily, and this would be perfect! LOVE the stone tile in the shower, the vanity looks perfect for my bathroom! Great look, just needs to be more functional!
Avalon Interiors We removed the tub from this bathroom as the client wanted a larger more open space and never used the tub. For re-sale he had other bathrooms that did have freestanding tubs so there was no loss. This space would not have been larger enough for a separate shower/tub combination. Since it is a guest bath he opted not to use body jets as he had them in his ensuite shower already.
wallry Are the two strips of stone along the glass doors raised to keep the water in the shower. Does this idea work better and less expensive than the Quick Drain USA. I plan on an opening of two and a half feet for the shower entrance and no door. Is the method here an alternative to a floor pan. Thank you for any ideas or suggestions.
Avalon Interiors What you are seeing is actually a base/curb with marble threshold. The angle of the photo makes it appear to be a zero clearance threshold but that is not the case.
Regarding hand held shower - In our master bath shower we were going to put a hand held shower on a sliding bar like this one but my plumber advised us to put in a regular shower head as well because he said this type tends to swivel back and forth and does not work well as a regular shower head. Do you have an opinion on this? »
Avalon Interiors I have never had any issues with the handhelds and much prefer them to a fixed head. Female clients especially like them because they are great for shaving. Perhaps your plumber was working with inferior quality models.
Avalon Interiors Typically the handheld shower assembly raises and lowers and will lock into the desired postion to accomodate people of varying heights. A good quality locking mechanism is important. The swivel will not lock into place and usually moves just by pushing with your hand. I have not had it be an issue, nor have I had any complaints from clients. It is my preference to keep the shower walls as clean as possible and the choice of the handheld is not for an improved aesthetic but rather an improved function so go with what makes the most sense for you.
Carolina Photo To Go LLC This is for Linda I think I read you were planning on selling in the next year. I would stay away from the green and stay with neutral colors as above. Therefore, if someone does not like green they will still buy your house. Most people do not want to repaint when moving in. What if they already have burgundy accessories or something that does not go with green. I used to flip houses and have watched "Designed to sell" on HGTV a lot. It really is not what you particularly like if you are going to sell; but what looks good but can appeal to the masses. Just thought I would try to help.
Horizontal métal bar - Hi,
Would you please tell what is the use of the horizontal bar in the
shower?
You did a great job.
Thank you for tour response. »
txmagca We did something very similar with a bath when we removed the tub, even the tile is similar. However, instead of two glass panels which would have been a bit problematic for stability, we just did one glass door to the show and where the other glass panel is (with the bar at top) we did a walll of the tile next tot he toilet. It is dramatic and receives many complements.
Love this bath for looks, design, & handicapp acess in a flash! - Love, love love the shower, if I were to have my old shower w/ seat & doors tore down to bare wall & floor approx how much would it cost to put the shower in? (I have this bath only the shower is a poly-vinyl enclosure with seat & sliding doors) the vanity & toliet are in the same location & have been replaced....I was going to just replace the doors until I saw this,,,,,,now I must save longer!!!! Unless I win a bath-makeover that is !!! »
Avalon Interiors Bathroom renovations vary significantly in cost base on size and quality of materials chosen.
Glad you like the shower. The zero clearance threshold is definitely great for universal design!
Toilets and Bathtubs for Disabled - Hello, I have searched for high rise toilets and have not been able to find any that have some style and are not you typical commercial toilets.
The over the toilet stands are so unsightly and are not stable or safe. Just because we are disabled does not mean we have to have our bathrooms look like a stall. Does Lowes stock aany walk in bathtubs that are affordable on Disability earnings? I would greatly appreciate your input .
Sincerely, Tiki »
Avalon Interiors Unfortunately I am not familiar with the stock at Lowes, you could certainly call them and let your fingers do the walking. There are lots of resources for plumbing geared to those with disabilities. Any reputable plumbing supply store would be able to assist you.
Why is there a tub spout in the shower and installed 6" from the floor? - is there a specific reason for this? perhaps a special request from the client? just curious.thanks :) »
Stone Trend Toronto A foot tester is always a money saving option compared to a high-tech thermostat with temperature control presets .As long the customers met the spending budget and they are happy, it's all that matters.We should all congratulate the home-owners for the new successful project delivered by Avalon Interiors!
would the shower fit in the space of a bathtub? - We have a bathroom with a similar configuration but there is a bathtub where your shower is. Could a shower like this be installed to replace a bathtub? Similar dimensions? »
Is the vanity top vitreous china? - I'm looking for plain, solid white for a vanity top b/c our floor is patterned, very much like the floor in this bathroom. Where can I get a top like this one? I love it! »
Avalon Interiors This standard tempered glass. Starphire would be great for applications when LED lighting is used on the edges or on horizontal edges that are more visible. For this application standard was suitable.

Avalon Interiors There are baskets in the shower for your cleansing supplies, and drawers/baskets in the vanity so I am not sure I understand your question as the storage seems obvious.
What is the tile on the wall of the shower--stone, color and size if possible - The stone on the shower wall looks different from the stone on the shower floor. Love your design. Thanks. »
alettasdesign A recent artical in the design section of our local paper said just that. More people are leaning toward a really great shower and skipping the tub.
Avalon Interiors Not a problem as longas you can make the shower as generous as possible. Keep the entrance as all glass to make it seem even larger as well.
Similar sink in the USA - I also love the sink, but when I browsed http://catalano.it/ in English, I can't find how to get this sink in the USA. Can anyone recommend something similar that's available in the USA? »
What would you recommend for wall tile in the showerwhen having light green walls in the rest of the bathroom? - My bathroom project is very similar to this design, except for the wall color, it is light green. I am looking for wall tile for the shower that match. Thanks a lot! »
Can I get your permission to post this picture on pinterest? - I just realized that houzz doesn't have copyrights to these pictures, and that I should go to you who added to ideabooks. Thanks!! »
Avalon Interiors If you are referring to the bulkhead it is a dropped bulkhead to allow for ductwork that we could not re-locate. Prior to the renovation the entire ceiling was dropped making the shower much shorter so we removed what we could.
Wall Tile & Wet Floor Question - What is the exact type/name of the tile on the walls and on the wet floor along with the sizes? I want to be able to tell someone in a tile showroom exactly what I want (which is this) and have them understand what I am taking about . You're bathroom is amazing ! »
Avalon Interiors Click on 'more info' and all the information for this picture is tagged. The tile is Limestone and as a natural product it will vary from one supplier to the other.
Avalon Interiors Any residential plumbing supply store/boutique will carry these. They come in different sizes and finishes are are drilled and screwed in the tile. In Toronto these were purchased at Taps Boutique. They are also availble at Gingers Bath Boutique.
sinofaucet When you start your current hot shower, you'll anticipate water to flow out and everyone knows that. But most of times, we'll really test the water temperature going out first before we begin spraying on our whole body. Now, you have the revolutionary style which will be the LED shower head or LED Tub spout.
The LED shower head or LED tub spout show you the different colors to inform or warn you of the temperature of water flowing from the shower head. When you see green, it means the water you will be obtaining is cold. The other colors are blue which stand for comfort, and red which represent hot.
Additionally, the model is effortlessly installed and you should have your new shower up in no time.

I absolutely adore this bath.. Is there a way to achieve a similar look on the shower wall with porcelain tile? I'm a bit hesitant about maintenance for natural stone. »
mnjwright I absolutely love the tile on the shower wall. I am redoing my kitchen and have a crema marfil floor with dark cabinets. Can you tell me where to find the tile you used on the walls? I would love to use it for my backsplash. I live in Dallas, TX, so hopefully they have something similar here. It's beautiful. You did a great job on this bathroom.
Avalon Interiors They were purchased at Granite & Marble Depot in Toronto, and are no longer available but there are similar looking tiles available, I'm sure you will have success in Dallas.
Tracy Kundell It is a foot tester for temperature. I don't normally use them but this client wanted one. I find it simpler to reach in with my hand to test temperature and I prefer a cleaner look.
Avalon Interiors Generally speaking a bathroom this size from start to finish including re/re I usually tell clients to budget $20K. This is all natural stone so costs could be kept down using porcelain or ceramics.

bepsf You would run the water thru the foot tester first while you're turning the water on...
...but without one, you could simply turn the showerhead towards the wall.
What is the ceiling height? I notice you've painted the bulkhead the same color as the wall and leave the ceiling white. I read somewhere it says if the ceiling is 8 ft or under, paint the bulkhead the same color as the ceiling. Hence my question. Thanks. »
Avalon Interiors The ceiling is 8'6". There are no rules when decorating. The wall looks taller this way than bringing the ceiling down with the white.
Monique Jacqueline Design Hello!
There is not a rule of thumb for painting soffits and ceilings accordingly. I agree with decorating101 in that painting the soffit or the bulkhead the wall color elongates the ceiling height and also enhances the overall feel of the bathroom!
karen411 This bathroom makes me happy just to look at it. I don't think anyone has asked this question yet: What finish is the paint, e.g., flat, semi-gloss, glossy?
I need to add a tub and am afraid that the beauty of the room will be compromised. Would a white tub work or should it be tiled same as floor? Thanks for your time and help. »
kevster also helps to get hot water to your shower faster than a shower head on a cold morning if your shower is a good distance from the hot water heater.

1. The small strips of marble tile on the shower wall add visual interest to this otherwise simple bathroom design. Users loved the creamy beige paint on the walls, and the designer's choice to keep the ceiling white.
