An outdoor shower and bath area built with a timber base and a tiled feature wall.

 

 

The project

 

It was a space that was unattractive. I’ve always wanted an outdoor shower and bath, so the project began. It has become a tranquil space for relaxing in a nice bubble bath or jumping in the shower after a trip to the beach.

Afternoon @annettechapman 

I can feel the peace! :smile: Nice work for sure!

So I have a couple of questions :smile:

 

Have you used it yet?

Is there supposed to be another retractable privacy screen facing the photographer? :smile:

For the shower, did you have a path for the water to drain towards?

 

Love it and I do think it would be so relaxing sitting out there as the sun goes down and the stars start popping!
