Okie...so I've posted before about how I want to make changes to my house in the near future......

I've decided that I want to replace the tub that we currently have, a cast iron clawfoot tub;

...with a modern steam shower. =)

Personally...I hate clawfoot tubs. They creep me out. I've got some seriously negative associations with them due to bad events in my past. (that I'd rather not blarg about on this blog). They're hard to keep clean; often stain; and can get really cold really quickly. Notice the airspace under the tub? Well water and gunk gets there, and you have to figure out a way to clean it somehow. The air movement also assists in cooling the tub, making it incredibly inefficient. Lastly, you usually have to use a shower hose, but the shower curtain doesn't close around the tub very well which causes a mess.


Now....what about a steam shower? What is a steam shower? Do you know what a steam shower is? If you do...you probably want one too.

A steam shower is a thing of beauty. It's luxurious, relaxing, and produces a delicious feeling of contentment that you normally would have to pay big bucks at a spa for. Surprisingly it's actually affordable! (affordable meaning can be bought for less then $1000...but the really good ones are more expensive)

See the thing is, my wife isn't the bubble bath type. As a man's man...I'm not a bubble bath person either. (surprised?)


However, as a lifelong swimmer, I adore the water. I love the feeling that water gives me. Think about it with me right now. After a long hard day at work, or a hard workout, doesn't it feel fantastic to walk into the shower and feel the warm water cascading down your body? The warmth surrounds you and tantalizes your senses. Your breathing slows, your mind calms down, and you can fully relax. Love it. Now....here's a steam shower:


(is it just me, or does it look like the designers ripped this off of a Star Trek set?)



(this one is expensive....really expensive...really really expensive...it's $21,000 )


(this one has a steam and tub component....interesting)



(these shower's are actually surprisingly expensive...about $14,000)



(do you see how many nozzles? 24 steam nozzles and a rain-shower head....lovely)

A steam shower surrounds you in therapeutic steam. There is no tub to soak in (in most cases), the water surrounds you in any position you stand or sit. Your body is hit with multiple adjustable sprays ensuring maximum effect. Doesn't that sound enjoyable? It uses far less water than a tub, it's got less of a footprint so it can fit in smaller spaces, and it's just better in every way.

So that's my plan....out with the old crappy cast iron clawfoot creepy tub that often gives me nightmares....and in with the therapeutic, relaxing, efficient, and simply sexy steam shower. w00t
