Oh, Australia!
Such excess is surely killing the environment, and hurting the poor! Such unequal use of resources must be stopped!
I insist that taxes be raised in the US and all American businesses be crippled immediately!
But that world consists of squirrels, deer and the occasional coyote.
Hmm. I’m outdated by a mere 30 years or so. Bathroom upgrades are pretty pricey. I’ve changed the sink fixtures and cabinet pulls, that’s about it.
For most people, the oversized tubs look nice but in practice they take too long to fill and the people who can afford them discover that they don't have time to take long soaking baths and they lapse into extended disuse.
Perfect for dating and bringing home younger women. (If I were single.)
A sound of rain recording and a rain video would be kind of cool.
I drilled out the restrictor on my shower head to increase the flow

I like white. Easy to clean and see dirt. I hate rain showers. Whats the point. It just drips a lot of water. I put in two new showers for me and my wife in two houses. Sliding frosted doors. Clear doors require a lot of cleaning. I have 3 jets coming out of the wall that work like a car wash. Then there is the regular shower above and the hand held. I can turn on any one or any number of them. It does the trick. And I love taking a shower.
I love modern. Ever since I lived in a beach community modern white house I want to buy one.
All that garbage looks so retail, or hi rise commercial. Gak~. And what they want to redo a kitchen or a couple of baths nowadays, one could purchase an entire home in some venues. No joke.
My taste in home interiors has changed a lot over the years. At one time I had subscriptions to County Living and Victoria magazines and that was my style in my early 20s through my 30s rustic, country, log cabins, Victorian, Early American. Lots of deep colors, walls loaded with pictures and hanging plates and such and lots of knickknacks everywhere, heavy brocade fabrics, heavy drapes and dark wood paneling, dark wood cabinets in the kitchen and (shudders) wallpaper. Ug. I cant believe I once like that. Not that I dont think it can be beautiful but I wouldnt want to live in a house like that now. Too dark, too heavy and cluttered.
Now days I like a much cleaner and simpler look. Not ultramodern but a bit more minimalist. I like a mix of warmer natural elements like hard woods and field stone with a mix of metal, tile, glass, big windows or window walls, with no or very minimal window coverings, lighter fabrics and color schemes, even more monochromatic lots of whites and greys but with pops of color here and there.
Ive even become a fan of the resurgence of mid-century modern look which can be beautiful and warm and inviting if done right. I also like what I think is called Farmhouse Industrial which I think is the style of Johanna Gains and has become very popular because of her and her husbands show Fixer Upper, a mix of old and new, traditional and modern.
I would love to have a spa type bathroom, the big walk in shower with multiple shower heads and a seating bench (and us girls know why). I did once live in a townhouse that had a soaking tub. It didnt have jets but it was extra deep and extra wide. Oh. How I miss that tub.
Bathrooms are great but what I really dream of having one day, like if I ever win the Powerball Lottery, is my dream kitchen.
A friend who is a professional photographer just photographed a new & very expensive house. She told me that the master bathroom had a toilet IN the shower! I’m sorry that is beyond gross.
We are finishing up something like that. We don’t need shower doors which is nice. We took out a 1980 porceline cast tub to make room for the shower. It was in perfect condition so I put an ad on Craigs list for a free tub to anyone who wants it and had it set by the curb. I wasn’t home when it was picked up, but some Mexican workers told me what happened. A guy came to my house alone in a very old Toyota Corolla. He got one end of it slung across the trunk and asked for help from the my workers with the other end. He tied it down with one strap and drove off. They could hear the rear tires scrubbing when he drove off. The tub had to weigh between 500 - 600 lbs. I asked them if they happened to get a picture and you should have seen the look on their faces. They were so astonished they had forgotten to get a photo.
We have 5 baths here and we have huge shower areas in 3 of them...the master bath has a big tub and a shower area...the guest bathroom is standard baths....
Google: bathrooms
Then click on images. Many nice bathrooms.
I want a large mirror over the sink and more counter space.
