Want to live like a king?  Build a steam shower like this one in your house. 

It’s not as hard as it looks.  This shower is made from alternating black and white bathroom tile, a few Kohler Showerheads (which are certainly expensive, but you can easily buy cheaper showerheads that look exactly the same), a Kohler Steam Generator and Control Panel, and some simple Body Sprays.  Designing the piping system behind the shower and combining it with the control panel certainly takes some work, but it’s not rocket science.  Rather than spend a fortune on a high end custom bathroom remodeler, my recommendation is finding a picture of a bathroom you like, identifying the exact components that you want, and finding some cheap but skilled laborers on craigslist.  There is nothing in this picture that requires an expert.  Connecting electricity to the control panel requires a licensed electrician, but it will only take him 15 minutes.  Even if you have to spend two hours with him, that’s only $150.  You can find an eager-to-work guy with plumbing skills on craigslist for $20, who can easily connect all the pipes to the various body sprays.  I do recommend using a professional to lay down the floor and wall tile, but that only costs $4 per square foot, even for a top company.  One thing to be certain: spend a lot of time testing to make sure the tile is absolutely waterproof.  If you end up with a leak, you could get mold below your shower that you’ll never get out.
