I love the shower niche, just be careful you make them large enough... The previous homeowners had built them into our current master bath and guest bath shower tubs. The master's niche is a perfect size but the guest's is too small for even standard size bottles. It's so frustrating - avoid that design mistake!

Some really great advice! We're trying to embrace a "lived in" house: at a party my husband and I hosted, a girl's uncapped stiletto dented our hardwoods like a woodpecker gone wild. We didn't tell the girl, and my hubs and I just laughed it off and view it as added distressing and charm. It was worth the fun night with friends.

However, I am a coaster nut, and I physically can't relax if I see a condensation-covered glass on my vintage teak MCM tables. I just keep coasters on every table and discretely slip one under the glass/bottle when no one's looking.
