A Green, Aging-in-Place Bathroom

Remodeling for retirement just makes sense, for homeowners who are 50 or older. Here grab bars, single-lever fixtures, a shower seat and a textured shower floor create a safe, user-friendly bathroom. If grab bars aren't needed immediately, adding grab bar supports behind the wall means that the tile won't have to be torn out later to install secure grab bars. The room also features non-toxic, no-VOC paint. Photo by Robin Stancliff.
