Curved Shower Rod

So here’s the story of our Curved Shower Rod. I fear it may be somewhat of a let-down because it’s not all that great a story, but here goes anyway. By the way, the above picture is not actually of our bathroom, but does show the tremendous benefits afforded by having a curved shower rod.

Our condo was sold and we had long since moved out of it. Angie and the boys were living in Longview with my parents while I was staying at Angie’s Uncle’s house in Renton. On weekends I’d go down and visit, then drive back up on Sunday night. When at last we heard from escrow that they had the papers on our house and were ready for us to come sign, we arranged to get a hotel in Federal Way (close to escrow) and have Angie and the boys come up the night before our early AM signing appointment. We found a hotel with an indoor swimming pool so we could take the boys swimming, and fun was had by all.

Well, our hotel room happened to have a curved shower rod in it, and Angie and I both commented on how wonderful it was to take a shower and not have the curtain hanging on you the whole time. Those extra few inches really make a huge difference!

So the other day we were at Lowes buying supplies for the many projects going on in our new house and we sought out the shower rods to see how much a curved rod would be. It ended up being about $40 but neither one of us flinched at that price. We both just knew it had to be part of our new bathroom. We got it, my Dad helped us install it, which was really quite simple, and we’ve been enjoying it for a couple weeks now.

Seriously, if you’ve not experienced the luxuries of the curved shower rod I would highly recommend booking a night at your local hotel. Be sure to call around and make sure they’ve got a room with one installed. After you try it, you’ll be headed out to get your own!

P.S. I have not been paid for endorsements by either the curved shower rod people or the hotel industry.

I just love not having a shower rod at all. I don't love cleaning my glass doors but I sure love showering with them. I've been in a shower with one before and they really do make a difference...for us clostrophobic (spell???) types.

I can't wait to see it!

Jason,
This is Jeff. I didn't finish my last post. I still think it's funny to say your first name...even though it's been eight years. I am so mature. The shower rod is amazing. I love the pic of the underpants crew. You guys seem really happy. The Harder Your Strife poster we had in Mustang really came true.

I would agree, they are nice. We might have to install one in our "kids" bathroom someday.

Man, talk about the lap of luxury!
