I recently moved and found myself with a shower that is fairly spacious, but what it doesn’t have, that my previous shower had, is a built-in seat. I realize this is a small inconvenience in the scope of things – however, all our women readers will understand the issue of wanting something to set their foot on. At 54 years of age, the soap dish which is five plus feet off the floor seems like a bit of a reach – at least most mornings! A few mornings of standing like a flamingo and I started looking for another solution, as retiling the shower was certainly not an option. Wanting something waterproof I spotted one of the Chinese stools at the store. Perfect height, even for sitting on, and it won’t mildew. I coated the bottom of it with mildew-resistant caulking so it wouldn’t scratch the tile, slip or mildew, and voila’ – I have the perfect seat for my shower. I even thought the cute little elephant stand we have at the store would add a bit of whimsy to a shower. How fun for guests when they open the shower curtain or door. It would certainly make me smile every morning – but then there are those that would say I have a bit of a quirky mind.
