Whirlpool Bathtubs Are Out - Showers Are In

The jacuzzi jets in our bathtub have been unusable for years. I think my husband said they have been "burned" out for over 15 years (way before I moved in there)! They were left on by a little kid and became burned out. Unfortunately, water leaked out of the non-operating jets and we only recently got them fixed by plugging them up.

But thankfully, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal (10/3/14), whirlpool tubs or jacuzzi tubs are no longer fashionable! Make room (or actually gain room) by installing a shower instead! Yes, shower stalls are now in fashion!

According to the WSJ, shower stalls are now HOT! So, if you are thinking about remodeling, put in a shower. Of course, the standard bathtub is still in fashion along with its distant cousin the chrome faucet fixtures.

What is OUT OF FASHION? The good ol' bidet (the toilet looking thing that shoots water up...), the whirlpool or jacuzzi bathtub and bar sinks.
