Babyproofing the House Project
Completed Nursery, Baths, and Glass Shower Wall (BV0208)
Bob wraps the Melrose, Massachusetts, nursery remodel with a tour of the home, a view of the colors, finishes, and fixtures selected, and our first visit with the new baby. Bob starts with a safety review of the kitchen and stairways. He checks out the new powder room with iridescent blue tiles, elegant lighting fixures, and a new sink and toilet. With homeowner-contractor Nick Beasley, Bob visits the reframed master bath with new two-over-one windows and slide-up or slide-down shades for light and privacy. They also review the step-by-step installation of an innovative glass shower wall complete with curtain rod. On the third floor, the nursery, guest room, and children’s bathroom are complete. The bathroom features original beadboard, new blown-in insulation, and a roll-top, claw-foot bathtub that we see installed. In the nursery, new windows with enclosed sliding shades, sound insulation, and an acoustic fabric ceiling make the new baby’s room snug and quiet. Atticus and his parents show off the new solid-wood crib and changing table that are pressboard-free, and crib furnishings that are healthful and beautiful. Everything from no-VOC paint to the slip-covered gliding club chair is intended to create a healthful, comforting world for the new baby and his family.
