Okay, that right there? That is a freaking nice bathroom. I want a three-mast ship in my loo, too.

[noluck-boston.livejournal.com]

Yes I agree!

Having an electric razor and radio, both of which are plugged in, right over the toilet doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.

yes, pretty!

only...what happened to somewhere to bathe/shower? i dont see it...

i finally figured out the tank for the commode was in the wall, with a push-button mechanism to flush with.

You have to literally step through the wall to bathe, it appears. You can see the safety bar, a back scrubber on a shelf, and the far rim of the blue bathtub.

They give you the floor plan to show the tub/shower is shared in a jack and jill toilet with private toilets and sinks. Without the floor plan it looks like the tub is only 3 feet long.

Ah! I never looked at the floor plan. *g*

So is that a sliding mirrored door? It must be.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

ahhh ok, thanks! :D

My grandparent's house, built in the 20s had a similar, behind you and below knee level positioning for the toilet paper, which if seated in any sort of normal way is actually quite awkward and inconvenient. Thanks, architects! That being said, I love the tiles.

I somehow can't deal with the colour combination of blue and yellow, it gives me instant headaches and nausea. Otherwise a very nice bathroom.

Unless the shelf pops out, good luck getting through all that tile to stop the toilet running. But YES anyway because I also want a three-masted ship in my bathroom and I love blue.

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be able to resist playing with the ship in the tub.

[grayflannelsuit.livejournal.com]

Yes! Holy smokes, their Tilex budget must be outrageous.

I could just see sharing that bathroom with siblings--they would always be sneaking thru the bathtub and nobody would ever get any privacy.

When two point perspective goes horribly wrong .... a bathroom where the shower stall is narrower than the sink vanity.

(Not that I've never seen a shower stall that small in real life--unfortunately I have, and claustrophobically showered in them too --- but I think the problem here is unsophisticated drafting.)

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

I once was offered a cheap apartment in NYC. I had to pass, mainly because the shower stall was wide enough to stand in but didn't really have enough room to effective bathe. There's no point in having elbows if you can't bend them.
