The evolution of the bathroom

The easiest place to spend over your budget when you're building or renovating these days is in your bathrooms -- and just try to sell a house without an en-suite! To find out how the bathroom has become (for some) the most expensive, and most loved, small room in the house, Slate has a wee slide-show on the evolution of the American luxury bathroom. [Hat tip Stephen Hicks].

  1. Being in the middle of renovations (as I'm sure you are aware), I thought I'd take a look at the American idea of bathroom style. God awful, is all I can say.

  2. "God awful" is the best way to describe it.

  4. It's clear we need some laws to prevent this from happening. Perhaps Johnie Boy can take this up.

    PS: I quite liked that wooden one.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
