The nobody chairs made me...kinda sad. They seem sad and gloomy.

I clicked on the water rug but it led me to MoCo Loco without any information. I wonder how one actually orders this rug.

the chairs do look like they need a hug

I got the opposite reaction from the chairs. They remind me of Casper the Friendly Ghost (in gray) or the little aliens from space invaders. But I did have a glass of wine at lunch.

I'm sorry...the shower just doesn't do anything for me.
#1 It's not practical for anyone taller than 5ft-6in. to not have full side coverage via a curtain or door during a shower. When I shower...I splash..simple as that. That little half door simply will not provide enough protection for my bathroom.

#2 What is the functional purpose of the hinged smaller lite?

Maybe i'm just missing something here. But I am officially taking a stand against non-functional modern design. The madness must be stopped.

I'm betting if the Nobody chair had been shown in a shocking pink we'd all agree it's a perky little think, not so in need of a hug.

We had a similar glass half shower door in our old apartment in London and, judging by our friends' flats, they were fairly common. I'd say that a shower head with a limited water "footprint" limits splashing acceptably. Ours would have worked ok if the outside of the tub hadn't featured a wooden panel!!! (Also common, and very decorative when it's pristine).

I'm not really understanding why you'd swing the door into the tub, though. The enclosed area becomes to narrow to use comfortably. I guess ours did too, though I thought it was just so that I could clean it with limescale-dissolving chemicals that needed to be rinsed off. Go figure.

Sorry, that's "too" narrow, of course!

That shower is definately a no go for me as well. I'm 6'4 and when we stayed in Paris we had a similar shower setup. Water was everywhere because the angle that I needed the showerhead at, the glass door wasnt nearly long enough.

We need pics of what you describe so we can see the problem areas. ;)
