Benefits - A hot steam spa, or steam shower environment has a physiological effect on the body which is very similar to that of a sauna. The hot vapors and heat may open up the pores, increases the metabolism, elevates the heart rate, and the body begins to sweat. This can result in health benefits, especially when a hot steamy environment is used safely and frequently (please read precautions). Some spas have also introduced the use of Aromatherapy in their systems to provide additional health benefits and relax clients. Enjoy a Serene Steam Spa system in your own shower enclosure. Clearer skin - May improve the clarity of their skin over time. Stress relief - One of the most powerful benefits may be the ability to reduce both physical and mental stress. Metabolism and weight loss - In some instances, a hot steamy environment can even assist with weight management due to heavier perspiration. WHY CONSIDER A SERENE STEAM SPA SYSTEM? The fundamental reason among others, is that Serene Steam does not require any generators, nor any electricity at all. Rather, It is an impressive alternative to bulky electrical generators and has been certified by IAPMO for easy installation by a qualified plumber or contractor. A Serene Steam Spa system brings a moist heat, Essential Oils infused steam/Spa experience into your existing shower enclosure and generally requires basic installation. Unlike competitors who require generators and an electrical supply to create a hot spa environment, (also known as a steam shower, wet sauna and alike), Serene Steam only requires the two primary connections which already exist in every bathroom - A water supply, and a drain, that's it. There are also no extra "a la carte" expenses required (other than basic plumbing parts) after you have purchased a Serene Steam Spa system. Everything is ready out of the box and only requires basic off the shelf plumbing fittings to install. You may require an additional spa bench for your new spa (not included). All models are inclusive of our patented steam/hot vapor feature, a Bluetooth Audio system for music and phone calls, and a dedicated Aromatherapy feature for using Essential oils . When constructing a shower enclosure to use with any steam product, or alike, the type of wall materials which you use may also have an impact on the shower enclosure temperature and the time required to reach optimal comfort, please check with your local contractor. Remember, regardless of which steam system you use, all shower enclosures must be steam ready, and your local contractor or plumber should know how to seal your shower enclosure correctly to avoid the hot water vapors from exiting your shower enclosure during use. PREFERRED SHOWER SIZE: During use, Serene Steam provides an impressive amount of steam/hot vapor to occupy most standard shower enclosures, However, as with most steam shower enclosures, the smaller the area, the more effective the heat will feel. With Serene Steam there is no specific size shower required due to the way it functions, also bearing in mind that with a movable spa bench (not included) it is possible to position yourself within any desired location should you have an extra-large/nonstandard shower enclosure. The diagram below should be a good indication of the preferred size of your shower enclosure. Please note that not all shower enclosures will provide the exact same results.

Priority Remodeling's Exquisite One-Bedroom ADU Project In the world of home improvement and design, every so often, a project emerges that flawlessly marries aesthetics with functionality. The recent completion of a one-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) by Priority Remodeling stands as a testament to this golden rule. As one steps into the space, the first thing that catches the eye is the immaculate and contemporary design of the room. Muted gray walls serve as the perfect backdrop, enhancing the natural brightness of the room, thanks to the strategically positioned windows. The window blinds, neatly tucked away, provide options for privacy while allowing natural light to illuminate the space. The minimalist office area showcases a sleek wooden desk paired with a luxurious leather chair. A simple potted plant adds a touch of organic green, giving a nod to the importance of biophilic design elements. With ample space for working or studying, it offers the perfect environment for productivity and focus. Transitioning into the bedroom area, the understated elegance continues. The centerpiece - a comfortable bed with crisp white linens - invites rest and relaxation. The headboard's unique nailhead trim design adds a touch of sophistication without overpowering the room. Adjacent to it, a cozy sitting area with a leather lounge chair and throw pillow makes for an ideal reading or relaxation spot. Both practical and aesthetic, the choice of wooden flooring complements the neutral color palette, warming up the space and providing continuity. The floor seamlessly ties the different areas together, creating a cohesive and harmonious environment. In sum, Priority Remodeling's recent ADU project is a masterclass in modern interior design. Each element has been meticulously chosen and placed, ensuring both functionality and beauty. This ADU is not just a living space; it's an experience. A testament to the prowess and vision of Priority Remodeling. --------- In recent years, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have surged in popularity among homeowners, and for a multitude of good reasons. These self-contained living spaces, often constructed in the backyard or converted from existing structures like garages, bring forth a myriad of benefits: Additional Income Stream: One of the most immediate benefits of an ADU is the potential for rental income. Homeowners can rent out these units to tenants, providing a steady stream of revenue that can help offset mortgage payments or other expenses. Increased Property Value: Well-designed and constructed ADUs can significantly increase a property's value. It's not just about the added square footage but also the flexibility and functionality that such a space offers. Housing Flexibility: ADUs can serve multiple purposes over time. They can start as a home office, transition to a living space for a college-going child, and later serve as a residence for aging parents. This adaptability is invaluable in ever-changing life scenarios. Sustainable Living: Smaller spaces typically consume fewer resources, both in their construction and daily operation. This makes ADUs an environmentally friendly choice for those keen on reducing their carbon footprint. Community Building: ADUs can help address housing shortages in dense urban areas. By providing affordable rental options, they contribute to community diversity and vitality. Privacy with Proximity: For families looking to support relatives (like elderly parents or adult children), an ADU offers the perfect balance. Family members live close by, fostering connection and support, yet both parties maintain their privacy. Cost-effective Expansion: Compared to the costs associated with buying a larger home or constructing a full-fledged home addition, ADUs often present a more economical solution to gaining extra living space. Incorporating an ADU into one's property is not just about creating additional space but about unlocking a range of benefits that enhance both the financial and functional aspects of homeownership. As seen in Priority Remodeling's recent project, an ADU can also be a pinnacle of design and comfort, proving that with the right vision, even compact spaces can offer a grand living experience.

The new owners of this house in Harvard, Massachusetts loved its location and authentic Shaker characteristics, but weren’t fans of its curious layout. A dated first-floor full bathroom could only be accessed by going up a few steps to a landing, opening the bathroom door and then going down the same number of steps to enter the room. The dark kitchen faced the driveway to the north, rather than the bucolic backyard fields to the south. The dining space felt more like an enlarged hall and could only comfortably seat four. Upstairs, a den/office had a woefully low ceiling; the master bedroom had limited storage, and a sad full bathroom featured a cramped shower. KHS proposed a number of changes to create an updated home where the owners could enjoy cooking, entertaining, and being connected to the outdoors from the first-floor living spaces, while also experiencing more inviting and more functional private spaces upstairs. On the first floor, the primary change was to capture space that had been part of an upper-level screen porch and convert it to interior space. To make the interior expansion seamless, we raised the floor of the area that had been the upper-level porch, so it aligns with the main living level, and made sure there would be no soffits in the planes of the walls we removed. We also raised the floor of the remaining lower-level porch to reduce the number of steps required to circulate from it to the newly expanded interior. New patio door systems now fill the arched openings that used to be infilled with screen. The exterior interventions (which also included some new casement windows in the dining area) were designed to be subtle, while affording significant improvements on the interior. Additionally, the first-floor bathroom was reconfigured, shifting one of its walls to widen the dining space, and moving the entrance to the bathroom from the stair landing to the kitchen instead. These changes (which involved significant structural interventions) resulted in a much more open space to accommodate a new kitchen with a view of the lush backyard and a new dining space defined by a new built-in banquette that comfortably seats six, and -- with the addition of a table extension -- up to eight people. Upstairs in the den/office, replacing the low, board ceiling with a raised, plaster, tray ceiling that springs from above the original board-finish walls – newly painted a light color -- created a much more inviting, bright, and expansive space. Re-configuring the master bath to accommodate a larger shower and adding built-in storage cabinets in the master bedroom improved comfort and function. A new whole-house color palette rounds out the improvements. Photos by Katie Hutchison

When these longtime clients traded the bustle of Portland for a quieter neighborhood in Lake Oswego, they found a home they loved almost immediately. But while the rest of the house reflected the warm, welcoming environment they envisioned for this next chapter, one space remained firmly rooted in another era: the primary bathroom. Dark tile, a cramped shower, and a dated tub deck left the room feeling heavy and disconnected from the calming retreat the homeowners hoped to create. Their vision was simple but meaningful: a bright, spa-inspired bathroom designed for comfort, relaxation, and sharing the space together. At the heart of the transformation is a thoughtfully designed wet room that combines the shower and soaking tub into one seamless experience. By removing the enclosed shower and replacing it with clear sightlines and an open, curbless design, the room immediately feels larger, brighter, and more connected to the natural light streaming through the window. The result is a space that balances luxury and accessibility while creating the serene atmosphere the homeowners were seeking. The project's greatest design challenge arrived before construction even began. The homeowners dreamed of a soaking tub large enough for two, but a winding staircase with tight corners made transporting a traditional oversized tub nearly impossible. Through careful planning and product selection, the team identified an elegant oval soaking tub that delivered the depth and comfort they wanted while successfully navigating the home's challenging access conditions. What makes this wet room particularly special is the attention given to how the homeowners actually use the space. The freestanding tub is positioned beneath a custom ledge featuring a wall-mounted tub filler, creating a convenient surface for candles, beverages, books, or a laptop for movie nights. The faucet placement was carefully considered to keep the interior of the tub open and comfortable, allowing the homeowners to sit face-to-face and enjoy the experience together. Throughout the space, material selections were chosen to amplify light and create a timeless sense of calm. Large-format porcelain tile with soft gray marble veining wraps the floors and shower walls, while a custom blue herringbone feature wall introduces subtle color and texture without overwhelming the room's airy aesthetic. Chrome plumbing fixtures reflect natural light throughout the space, enhancing the clean, spa-like atmosphere. Custom cabinetry allowed every inch of the vanity to work harder. In addition to generous storage and double sinks, a specialized vanity organizer was incorporated to store a hair dryer and styling tools out of sight while keeping them plugged in and ready to use. It's a small detail that streamlines everyday routines while reducing countertop clutter. Quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance surface, while integrated toe-kick lighting creates a soft nighttime glow that serves as both an accent feature and practical nightlight. Comfort was a major priority throughout the design process. Heated tile floors and heated towel bars transform everyday routines into small moments of luxury, while a bidet toilet seat adds a layer of convenience and comfort the homeowners now consider indispensable. Beyond aesthetics, the bathroom was designed with long-term usability in mind. The curbless shower improves accessibility while preserving the sophisticated visual flow of the wet room. A hand shower mounted on a slide bar doubles as a grab bar, providing future aging-in-place benefits without compromising the room's refined appearance. It has also become one of the homeowners' favorite features for an entirely different reason: a remarkably convenient dog-washing station. Preserving natural light was equally important. The original wood window was replaced with a moisture-resistant vinyl casement window, ensuring long-term durability while maintaining the bright connection to the outdoors that helps define the room's character. Combined with the open shower design, the window allows daylight to travel throughout the entire space, making the bathroom feel both expansive and inviting. Perhaps the greatest testament to the success of the project came from the homeowners themselves: "I didn't have the skills to dream up this design. You did. Thank you."

Miele Appliances at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center 26767 Agoura Road, Calabasas, CA 91302 Phone 818.880.0011 Fax 818.880.0411 12050 Ventura Blvd.,Studio City, CA 91604 Phone 818.755.1111 Fax 818.755.9111 www.uakc.com Miele Generation 6000 is bringing design and innovation that exceed expectations. It includes two distinct design styles - PureLine and ContourLine - as well as several color options including Brilliant White and Truffle Brown. Design for Miele is not simply the exterior. Like the design principle, form follows function; the true beauty of the Generation 6000 series is highlighted by its intuitive user interface, which ensures unsurpassed performance and convenience in the kitchen. With these new color options and the uniform design of the Generation 6000 series, Miele has created a series of appliances that will seamlessly integrate into any kitchen or lifestyle. Whether appliances are installed vertically, horizontally, as a square or in a T-shape configuration, the design is fully resolved. M Touch – Top-class technology with a special touch Whether it’s creating a double cappuccino at the touch of a single button, finding the desired MasterChef automatic program on the Combi-Steam Oven in an instant or selecting the operating mode and temperature in just a few simple steps – Miele eliminates the guesswork. All of these operations are easier than ever because of M Touch. Reminiscent of smart phones and tablets, M Touch is an intuitive user interface that allows the user to swipe or scroll through the menu with the tip of a finger. A new high resolution control panel with white TFT (Thin Film Transistor) text brings a brilliant display. And because the interface is universal across all Gen 6000 appliances, the transition from appliance to appliance is easier than ever. Oven Innovations: Moisture Plus, Gourmet Center and MultiSteam Developed exclusively for Miele USA, Moisture Plus is a truly unique steam injection system featured in Miele M Touch 30” Convection Ovens. Moisture Plus automatically injects a burst of steam into the oven cavity at pre-determined points during the cooking process. The addition of moisture improves results when proofing dough, gives loaves of bread a crisp crust and glossy finish and makes cuts of meat particularly crisp on the outside and succulent inside. Also new to the 30” Convection Oven is the addition of MasterChef Plus programs. Ideal for the consummate baker at home, this exclusive new menu system houses 14 automatic bread programs and replicates results seen in artisan bakeries. Included are programs for sourdough, whole grain, rolls and baguettes. A pioneer in steam oven technology, Generation 6000 Steam and Combi-Steam Ovens are equipped with MultiSteam technology, a revolutionary new steam cooking generation. The addition of six steam inlets in the Steam Oven and eight steam inlets in the Combi-Steam Oven, delivers fast, even steam distribution and incredibly quick heat-up times for even cooking results through a more powerful steam generator. Long regarded for its ingredient-driven menu, Miele MasterChef programs are now located within the Gourmet Center. Choose from more than 100 easy to use programs for grains, vegetables, meats, fish and poultry. At just the touch of a button, the program will deliver menu options that guide the user step by step - from the desired oven mode to temperature - all resulting in the perfect dish. Generation 6000 Coffee Systems impress with comfort and innovation There are several new highlights to the Generation 6000 Whole Bean Coffee System including a new CupSensor, EasyClick Milk System and One Touch for Two features. Exclusive to Miele, the CupSensor automatically adjusts the height of the spout to the optimum position for different cup and glass sizes. Whether a tall latté macchiato or a dainty espresso is being prepared, the central spout automatically adjusts to the cup’s rim and eliminates splashing. The CupSensor even reacts precisely to beverages made with milk by raising the spout slightly to make room for the incoming espresso. Also new is the EasyClick milk system which is a dishwasher safe glass, milk flask that effortlessly clicks into place at the front of the machine. And for easy maintenance, the new Miele Coffee Systems now automatically rinse all milk spouts and hoses with water after each use. The One Touch for Two feature allows the user to prepare two coffee specialties such as cappuccino and latté macchiato at the same time, thus reducing prep time when two or more drinks are being served. Miele Generation 6000 series is distinguished by its elegant design and remarkable innovations to deliver unmatched results that can be seen, touched and tasted. German engineered and tested to last 20 years, Generation 6000 reinforces the Miele Design for Life philosophy and solidifies Miele at the forefront of residential culinary appliances.
