As much as I loved the bathroom in the old cottage of my
childhood with the pedestal sink and stand alone tub, there was one thing
missing - where was the shower? I had well grown out of baths and Mr.
Bubbles and was used to only taking showers and no matter how clean that tub was
- I could not help but think of all the people that had been in that tub before
me. So my Dad bought an inexpensive shower head attachment for the outdoor hose
at the hardware store and rigged up a very rudimentary outdoor shower for me. I
loved it - being able to rinse off the days sand and suntan lotion under a blue
sky shaded and screened by trees and the landscape. It may not have been very
luxurious but it was indeed a true luxury.
I would love to undertake an outdoor shower project at the lake to
recapture the enjoyment of my youth and share it with my own boys. Below is
some of my inspiration.

I also love the outdoor shower that Erin from
Just Grand and her husband built at their cottage on Lake Michigan - Check out the project
here.
Beautiful post! I have some of the same inspiration photos in my dream file that you have in yours! The top one looks so enchanting and so doable anywhere!
