The Grapevine (June 14)

Shower from above

Once you’ve showered under a ceiling-mounted rain shower, it can be hard to go back. But installing an overhead shower can be a major project that many aren’t up for. There’s a simpler solution. Moen’s Arris shower arm installs into the shower’s existing plumbing. It then attaches to the Arris Rainshower shower head. Prices vary at moen.com.
