Shower Trends

Certainly one of the most luxurious showers you could experience would be a body spray system. Picture it: water hitting you from multiple angles, faster showers, and the therapeutic feel of a whirlpool while standing in a fast shower. Lovely. Many manufacturers make variations of body spray systems, all with their own unique elements.

While body showers are luxurious, they also have a few drawbacks. Every spray or set of sprays has a different knob-- you have to control pressure and temperature with 8 different knobs. They're more difficult to clean because of all the fine details and tiny spaces that now have to be scrubbed. They also look cluttered and can distract the eye away from beautiful custom walls.

The solution: electronic controls. Essentially, a wall mounted remote control for your shower that can control the exact temperature with a digital display and also can control pressure and user settings. These systems are excellent for elderly and disabled users as the shower can be started with the touch of a button- never too hot, never too cold and no knobs to turn. What's even nicer is that they can cut back on the cost of remodeling later on. Simply keep the valve and digital thermostatic pressure control in place and swap out the trim for whatever suits your new style.

IDS Lunch & Learn

Hi Readers,

This morning, I hosted a "Lunch & Learn" event at Ferguson Enterprises, where I work full-time. (Jensen Home Staging & Design is just a side business.)  The meeting went very well, especially considering I just found out last night that I have a kidney infection and I feel like my bladder has been stomped on. Not fun. Put praise be to God for getting me through and giving me the confidence I needed to do a good job.

I have decided to write a few blog posts about the topic of the seminar: bathroom remodeling. Be sure to check back soon for blogs on these topics:
