From Gatsby to Mad Men: Home decor through the decades

From the tin ceilings of the 1910's to the millennial "snail showers," these design elements and amenities were certainly signs of their times. And, according to Trulia, they can often be big selling points for homebuyers.

2000s: Snail showers

A home design feature rarely encountered outside the decade of the 2000s has a unique shape and an even more unusual name: the snail shower.

The snail shower features an open entryway and a curved shape -- hence "snail" -- with the showerhead at the end of the curl so water can't splash out.

Because snail showers take up a lot of room, they're usually found in large, luxury homes. This one is part of a master suite that includes a soaking tub, double sink and separate vanity.

It's all part of a sprawling 3,300 square-foot home on 3.4 acres. Located east of Tucson, the home has high ceilings, granite tile floors, a fireplace and mountain and desert views. There's also a huge gourmet kitchen.
