We just renovated our bungalow attic into the master bedroom/bath. We have an "A" framed ceiling and kneewalls. To allow for a shower/bath combo we took the risk of having the back wall of the shower slanted downward (the wall that the shower head is on is straight up and down) - looks like this from the side - /I Any ideas for shower rod installation or shower curtains? I've been searching the internet for months looking for ideas! Any links to sites featuring products for this set up? <br> <br>Many Thanks!!!

Hi, <br>Check out Ioni's site www.houseinprogress.net to see yesterday's blog entry on a similar topic. Not sure if your slant is similar to theirs, but it might be a start.

Thanks for the link, good to know others out there are under similar circumstances! Mine is a bit different, here is a link to a photo of my circumstance! Anyone have any ideas for shower a shower curtain rod, or curtain? Thanks!!! <br> <br>http://homepage.mac.com/eucaliptus/shower.jpg

OK, I may have just found the answer. These might work really well to hold a curtain, granted I would have to find someone with a sewing machine to alter the shape of my curtain to fit the strange opening it will cover. <br>These, one on each end: <br>http://homepage.mac.com/eucaliptus/wirealcove.jpg <br> <br>This at the spot where the wall turns downward: <br>http://homepage.mac.com/eucaliptus/wirestandoff.jpg <br> <br>And this type of clip to hold the curtain: <br>http://homepage.mac.com/eucaliptus/clip72030.jpg

LOVE these slanted walls, eh? <br> <br>Couple of ideas we looked at before going with the frameless glass insert approach. <br> <br>1) Using a "U" shaped shower rod that attached entirely to the back wall...sold in catalogs for vintage bathtubs. <br> <br>2) "Making" a shower rod by using a metal rod cut to an angle on one end to fit into the wall fitting (which would sit at an angle on the slanted wall...this one is difficult to describe. But, even if you have a hand powered miter box, you are just a special blade away from being able to cut your own pipe for a curtain rod. <br> <br>3) Getting out of the angle altogether. Getting a nice curtain rod from Restoration Hardware and hang it on the wall just outside of the shower. The curtain hangs down but tucks into the tub. Best of a nice curtain is used on outside to hang straight down and a plastic curtain liner is used on inside to hang into the tub. <br> <br>Best of luck! You have tile up and that is the most major thing!

What about one of those living room wooden curtain rods with the wall brackets? If the wall with the shower head continues flat (I can't really tell from the photo) then put a closet pole hanger on that wall and use the bracket at the other end on the perpendicular wall. <br> <br>Am I making sense?

I have a window at the end of my tub and used an "L" shower rod that I ordered from Renovator's Supply (1-800-659-2211). May work for you too. They have a website, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

Yes, you are. Though now there are much larger solution options.

Oh e have two rooms with slanted walls. One is a little cubby at the top of our stairs which my boys use as a reading nook. The other is our TV room. We took advantage of dormers in both rooms to incorporate built ins into the space. Here is the boys "office". One of the two desks is built in.

And this is the TV room.

It has two window seats to stash "stuff" and another built in desk in the third dormer.

I actually really like the slanted walls in both rooms because they make it feel nice and cozy. It is my intention to paint the slanted portion of the ceiling to match the walls, per suggestions I got on this forum, but I haven't had time to do that yet.
