Where can I purchase a retractable shower curtain rod like the one shown on page 77 of Creating the Not So Big House?
The retractable shower curtain rod was something Jim Garramone designed and built to solve a particular problem in his house (A Jewel In the Suburbs). At this time, as far as we know, it is not available commercially, although most of the individual components are. Drawings showing how it works and if it would work in your house were published in Fine Homebuilding’s Winter 2001 Annual Kitchens & Baths issue, No. 143, pages 18-19 in the Great Ideas section. Back issues can be purchased from Taunton Press by calling (800) 888-8286 or going to www.taunton.com/store/pages/fh_toc_143.asp.
