Case Study: Aging Gracefully with Style — A Shower Transformation in Davenport, Iowa
When Tom and Susan decided it was time to update their bathroom, they knew it wasn’t just about looking good — it was about planning for the future. Nestled in Davenport, Iowa, a city famous for the historic Figge Art Museum and the scenic Mississippi Riverfront, this couple wanted a shower that could stand the test of time, and more importantly, help them age in place with safety and confidence.
The Starting Point: A Shower with a Story
Tom and Susan’s current shower had seen better days. It was functional but frankly, about as exciting as a Midwestern winter. With mobility concerns creeping in and a desire for a fresh look that would complement their charming Davenport home, they started searching for a solution that married beauty and durability.
Their vision was clear: a shower space that felt more like a retreat than a routine chore, with materials that could handle daily use without turning into a safety hazard.
Discovering the Perfect Fit: The Onyx Shower System
After a bit of research and some friendly neighborhood advice (including a tip from a local friend who swore by it), Tom and Susan landed on the Onyx shower system. The appeal? A hard surface that wasn’t just sturdy but also visually stunning — think sleek modernity meets easy maintenance. It was like the Figge Art Museum of showers: an artful blend of form and function.
What sealed the deal for them was how the system supported their long-term goal: aging in place safely. No slippery tiles or complicated upkeep — just a reliable, smooth surface that could handle life’s twists and turns, and maybe the occasional dance party (you never know).
The Transformation Journey
Working with Custom Bath & Shower, Tom and Susan’s bathroom underwent a remarkable change. The old shower came out, and the new Onyx system was installed with care and precision. The team ensured every detail, from the seamless walls to the easy-access threshold, was just right. It wasn’t just about looks — it was about crafting a safe, comfortable space that met the couple’s needs now and would continue to do so down the road.
As the work progressed, Susan joked that she felt like she was watching a live art installation in their bathroom — only this one promised practicality over pretension. Tom, meanwhile, appreciated the no-fuss cleanup and the solid feel underfoot, which made his morning routine less of a balancing act.
Living the Davenport Dream, Safely and Stylishly
The end result? A shower that fits right into Davenport’s blend of historic charm and modern living. It’s a space where Tom and Susan can enjoy their morning routine with a view — well, a view of their beautifully remodeled bathroom, which is just as good.
Their new Onyx shower system isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a practical, durable solution that reflects their lifestyle and the vibrant community around them. Whether they’re prepping for a day on the Mississippi River Trail or winding down after visiting the local farmers market, Tom and Susan know their bathroom can keep up.
