The Minimalist Shower

Simplicity in the Shower

Recently, we stayed at a cute remodeled 1950s motel. We’ve been there before and we really like it. They keep everything clean and simple.

Take the bathroom, for instance. It has the original fixtures and tile, so there’s no vanity, just a medicine chest behind the mirror above the sink. But in the shower, they added something very 21st century: a built-in shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispenser.

It’s very simple-looking but it sure is convenient. No more wet bottles to track down and wipe off at the end of our stay. No more wet bars of soap sliding around the tub. As convenient as it was for us, I’m sure housekeeping loves it, too, because it makes clean-up so simple.

This has inspired me to weed out several old half-finished bottles of shampoo and conditioner that are taking up room under our bathroom sink. I’m also going to finish the half-used bottles scattered around our shower and commit to using only one at a time in the future. That’s how much I enjoyed using a shower/tub that didn’t have wet bottles scattered all around it.
