Bath Shower Ha Na

Bathroom Published on July 18th, 2011 | by Jules Yap Materials: 2 Ikea Kvartal Corner fixtures , 2 Kvartal Wall hardware , 1 Kvartal rod, 1 DEKA Curtain wire , Saltgrund Shower curtain , Riktig hooks and gliders Description: I used the great Ikea Kvartal 3 track system to solve the difficult problem of putting a shower enclosure in a dormered bathroom.

I’m a lucky duck and have been staying at some really posh hotels lately. Not just posh in terms of price and number of pillows; but posh in terms of properties where the staff is truly friendly, helpful and attentive to details that can really count when you’re out on the road.

And the complimentary pot of strong coffee that showed up outside my door at 6 am at an Omni Hotel in Indianapolis, even though I only signed up for the free program that offers that amenity (and free Wi-Fi) the night before.
