When life gives you lemons make lemonade

[Steven Maduro]

I love lemonade and I live by this very over used saying.

Purchasing Foreclosed properties provides me with ample opportunities to

try out this slogan.

my latest lemonade

was when faced with a fiberglass shower enclosure that had the front portion ripped out. apparently someone wanted the plumbing and so tore up the front part of the enclosure

the other two sides were perfectly fine so I decided to

take the opportunity to upgrade the look.

I replaced the front with backerboard and used some clearance tile from lowes. to attach to the backerboard I also used some stone tile and cut it into strips to make for a makeshift picture frame. I swapped out the regular knobs with a central control knob and added some stainless steel tile down the length for an extra hint of customization

my inspiration was a jungle in the rain forest that was hiding a hidden door into a future world Okay I know sounds silly

but that was what was actually going through my mind here is the photo
