For many people, the shower is an escape from reality ... perhaps the only "me time" in an otherwise hectic day. But if your current shower isn't living up to relaxing expectations, it may be time for a facelift.
Don't think you have time or money? Don't throw in the towel just yet - an improved shower is within reach. Follow these fixes to make an amazing improvement to the shower.
Curves ahead
Shower curtains may keep water where it should be, but they also have a tendency to make a shower feel smaller, dark and cramped. An easy solution to this problem is to install a curved shower rod. These unique rods add an elegant and luxurious look to the room while also moving the curtain away from your body, creating a more comfortable experience and adding up to 7 inches of elbow room. Whatever curved shower rod you choose, be sure to coordinate the finish to match the rest of your bath fixtures.

It is that time of year again: time to wage war against the pests seeking entry into your home. So check for small openings around the outside of your house, trim bushes and vegetation, and do any other small repairs, because when temperatures drop, pests start looking for ways inside.
"As the weather cools, rodents and other pests move inside," says Kim Kelley-Tunis, technical services director at Orkin.
"Rats, mice and insect pests, such as cluster flies, Asian ladybugs and boxelder bugs, along with a few other regional pests like stink bugs and kudzu bugs, migrate toward homes, looking for warmth."
Mice can fit through an opening the size of a dime, so it is important to fix any cracks in and under siding, doors and windows.
Inside your home, these animals can go unnoticed, set up a nest and begin reproducing.
A single female can have up to eight pups per litter and four to five litters per year.
Cluster flies, Asian ladybugs, boxelder bugs and regional insect pests can be found inside wall voids and attics. They are more frequently found congregating on sun-facing areas like south- or southeast-facing walls.
