I heard you.
Out there in bloggyville, whispering, wondering, waiting.
When, oh, when will Amy show us her new shower door??
When?
Today, my friends. Today.
Get out your party hats and Dale Jr coffee mugs.
Because this one is going to be a doozy.
Not. (Party on, Wayne)
D and I really did agree on almost everything throughout the build. And we each had one thing in particular we really wanted – I wanted my tub, and D wanted a big shower with dual shower heads.
And now you know what brand shampoo we use.
One lesson learned – if you simply must supersize something, you’re going to pay.
ie: supersized shower door.
Paying for it was the hardest part though, as it turns out.
Now I would rather listen to a CD of Fran Drescher’s laughter than read through how-to instructions, but lucky for me, D is a natural at ciphering them.
And in no time he was measuring, cutting, leveling and drilling.
Honestly, I was surprised by the amount of time it didn’t take to get it installed. And it is tres better than the temporary shower curtain we had up… flapping in the breeze… sticking to my leg. Bah!
Here is Junior Vanna White-ing the new door.
~wolf whistle~
And here is the door itself.
My apologies for posting this so early in the day as I’m sure it will most likely be a high point for you.
Yep, it’s all down hill after Amy’s shower door post….











I like!!! Was it tough to find one with black trim rather than chrome?
It is actually oil rubbed bronze, but you’re right – it does look black!
FINALLY !! haha It looks super rad. We let go of a tub to have a bigger shower, which makes me kinda (really) sad. And we didn’t get dual heads (trust I tried) because of the bench we’re putting in. I totally was shaking my head with you about supersizing things & price. Whoops. We need SO much tile. But after seeing yours, I’m thinking maybe we should use big tile, too, to make it easier to install/time/etc. So thanks for that! We built out a wall though so the shower has a ‘normal’ size door (just a single one that will open) to save cost there. But oh, your tub is hurting me. Actually, that whole bathroom is pretty droolworthy. Go buy some fantastic bubblebath and enjoy. YOU DESERVE IT!!!
Building a wall out was SO smart. I can’t wait to see it!
This, and a sold out concert all in one day??? I’m not sure I can take it!!
Your bathroom makes me squee. Imma sneak over and make campout in your bathtub. Good luck getting rid of me. Oh and the shower door is super great!
That won’t be awkward at all…
Nothing hotter than a man doing work you don’t want to do yourself, right?
Looks amazing! I’ll be over with my shower cap, bubbles, wine, and rubber ducky after work today…
Shower cap and rubber duck – love it!!
Looks very similar to ours too. And we did the same thing with the white shower pan. It’s a nice roomy shower, you’re going to love it
Natural light floods right in because there are no curtains or liners to worry about. From your photos, the trim on your shower door looks black. Am I just seeing things?
It’s actually oil rubbed bronze, but it does look black in the pics!
Yeah! No more curtain flapping the breeze. It looks great =)
Excellent!! Progress = no more flapping shower curtains.
And it looks good too.

Perfect! What brand shower door did you use? We’ve been thinking of installing one and we’re not sure it’s worth the cost.
That there is a Kohler.
They look wonderful!! There’s just nothing that man can’t do, lucky You! Junior gets cuter every single day…Proud Nanny that I am
And not biased at ALL!
Looks great!
Haha. You’re hilarious. Your shower doors look great!
You are too funny….! Very nice! I am so jealous that you have both a huge tub and shower.
We’re very lucky.
Nothing wrong with thinking of Brad Pitt in the shower at any time of the day as far as I’m concerned.
~Bliss~
HA! Your comments are always so good for D’s ego.
bahaha shower curtain sticking to your leg! Your new doors look great!! I so wish we had a double shower head…hubs is always complaining about me hogging it.
naughty.
Oohhhh… I’m drooling over your tub and shower! I really want dual shower heads or a rain fall head in the center!
The doors look great! If I were you, I would’ve used the excuse of no shower doors to take baths every day
Haha.. all down hill from here indeed! Great door! Such a beautiful shower. I can’t wait to redo our master bath.. it’s going to be a long time before we get to that unfortunately though.
Now I feel the need to put our Jimmie Johnson mugs in a post … keep an eye out for it … cause it’s comin’!
Oh snap.
Phew. I can finally sleep tonight.
I love that you quoted Wayne’s world.
Your child’s expressions kill me. Kill me.
Your shower door is very pretty. Manly, if your husband asks.
I’m giving up on the rest of today now that you’ve topped it out with your shower door.
But seriously, it would make my day to use a shower like that every morning!
Biolage is where it’s at. Pretty jealous of that shower and tub (and D’s how-to instruction skills!).
Very nice! Your whole bathroom is gorgeous.
I can’t wait till we are putting in our shower door…
It looks fantastic, Amy. I’m officially jealous. We’re dealing with the shower curtain sticking to the leg thing until we re-do our master bathroom. Which won’t be for at least another 5 years…blah.
i’m super duper jealous of your amazing bathroom every time you post pictures of that tub. Seriously, i think i would be in there every evening with a glass of wine
After having a houseful of guests since you posted this, I’ve been waiting for a quiet moment after they departed to enjoy the shower door party. I’m so glad I did! It’s worth waiting for just to see Junior in his onesy Vanna Whiteing the door!!
P.S. I HATE it when the curtain grabs my legs too – super yucky!!
i long for no more shower curtain. soooooon. JR might give vanna a run for her money!! or job..
Amy, it looks awesome! I have a shower that needs doors, it’s in the kids bathroom, and we don’t trust them with a curtain (picture them soaking the entire bathroom), so it’s not being used at all until we can afford the door. A little nervous about installing ourselves – do you think it will be okay? My dh is pretty handy…
LOL! This is sure to go viral … like my cleaning out the garage post!
Junior looks more like Chuck Norris than Vanna White in that pic …

I’d shower in that shower of yours everyday. Shoot, I’d probably consider living in your bathroom. It has everything I need. All I would need is a hot plate to cook on.
