Bye bye ugly bathrooms!
&Nbsp; After moving into our home a few years ago, we gradually have made changes each year to some portion of the house. Most have been a change of paper or paint. But there have also been a couple of big projects. The most recent addition was a bathroom remodel of the upstairs kids' bathrooms because they were seriously outdated, dark, and ugly. And while the original owners who built this home did a great job downstairs, they clearly lost steam once they hit upstairs. So that's where the fun begins.
KITCHEN BATH INDUSTRY SHOW 2011 (KBIS)
This year KBIS, the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, was held at the Convention Center in Las Vegas. While this year’s show was lightly attended compared to recent years there where still many interesting things to see. Here are some highlights.
AMERICAN STANDARD
This was a chance to see many of their new bathing products first hand. The new seated
shower is, I think, a great alternative to a standard pan or tub. It is an easy retrofit and offers security and flexibility for anyone looking for a safer shower.
Door tubs also offer a secure bathing option but are limited by slow draining which may require the bather to sit for 10 minutes or more while the tub drains so the door can be opened. To solve this AMS has introduced their “quick drain” system which clears the water in 3-5 minutes. We were able to see this demonstrated and it does work as described.

Also this year AMS introduced what they are calling the “ Fun Bath ”. The Fun Time Bath fits over a standard bathtub and transforms it into a safe and fun bathing experience for parents and children. It raises the bathing well allowing parents to bath children without bending over plus, the designs of fire engines, castles and cartoon characters are fun for kids.
