Mix an Outdoor Shower and a Visiting Sister…
And you get Motivated to Build an Outdoor Shower Enclosure!
Our Home, The Gnomad Pad, is in Florida where Outdoor Showering is Quite Nice. This Shower is in a Corner were the Air Con Unit and Near Where We Put Our Garbage Pails so we decided to Hide it all, not only Naked Bodies.
Well, after many discussions between the Hub and I, it was decided that the Fencing Needed to be somewhat Mid Century-ish and there will be an Arbor. Lots of sketches were made and Pinterest posts were looked at…and finally we agreed upon a Design.
The Shower area is coming together.
Fencing is done…but not the Arbor.
Using the Shower Before it was Done…but the Arbor is Up!
The Staining Process. I stained the Whole Fence and The Hub did the Arbor.
Okay, He Built 96% of the Entire Thing On His Own!
It’s Done!!!! Even with Bougainvillea planted to Climb up the Arbor!
You may notice the far right gate door is darker. Well, when one goes crazy staining all day without mixing the gallon of stain, the bottom of the can is darker. What is done is done, but there you go…Do Not Do That.
The Shower Outside…
And Inside…Even with a Dedication Sign to My Sister!
I Did The Shower Floor…And I am Digging it. Simple Blue Spray Paint, then a Wash of Light Blue Paint Brushed over it. Rocks, Shells and there You Have it.
Had the Board Laying Around and Just Handed Painted it. My Sister Loves Mermaids and she is Fighting Cancer, So I Made the Mermaid Bald. She also has a tattoo of a Starfish because if they Lose Arm, they just Grow One Back which is a Testament of How She has Lived her Life.
Cancer will Not Beat This One.
One side of the shower is open to this large bush.
The Very Cleaver Hub Came Up with a Non Rusting Door Latch. And he Made it with Love. The Wood Had a Heart on it and he Just had to use that Piece to Go There.
That Little Blue Dot is how you Unlatch the Door. So Cute and Cleaver.
And if You Want to Shower After Dark….
We made a Light out of a natural Cup Sponge found on the Beaches in the Keys of Southern Florida!
Can’t Wait to See it Being Used for a Mini Family Reunion This Summer!
Homes…
One Step at a Time! Next is the Back Patio!
We did Plant these Palms Hopefully to Grow and Block Out the Neighbors Ugly Side Yard and to Block the Neighbor Out too. All our Neighbors are Great Except this One Person, who Killed Our Orange Tree. See an Earlier Post to Find Out How I Made Lemon-aide out of that Dead Orange Tree at https://ourownbigworld.com/2014/10/08/passive-aggressive-diy/
Now We need No Rusting Matching Patio Furniture. I am Making Sheer Flowy Curtains, but there Needs so Much More Work to Be Done!
Stay Tuned!
