Your "Dream Bathroom" - Do tell!

[BladeRunner001]

Well. Now that we have noobies, experts, veterans, B&B founders, B&B developers, moderators and all of everyone else "in betweens", I am curious to know what you envision your dream bathroom would look like...please feel free to let the imagination go wild. Go nuts and don't hold back!!

I will start off with a few designs (stolen from the web) that I have in mind for my bathroom retrofit (hopefully in the near future). And if you can't tell by the pictures, I am more or less a minimalist of sorts

. This is where I would find my ultimate "Zen" when I shave...of course, what you don't see (or hear in this case) is the classical music playing in the background while I am showering, and getting ready for my shave.

In no particular order:

Besides adequate space for a shave den, my future bathroom will have a urinal!

I've thought about this many times over the years as I've felt a functioning bathroom is the epitome of human achievement. After who wants to **** in a pot and throw it out the window? And who wants to live in a place that does? The biggest problem for scientists concerning space flight? The bathroom! How to make it work in zero gravity.

For my ideal bathroom I would want a heated japanese style bath. A separate shower. A toilet (of course) plus a bidet (for the ladies). The sink would be the clamshell type on the small ionic pillar. A tile inlayed mosaic on the floor in the Cretan/Minoan style with mermaids and dolphins and other sea creatures. And of course special shelving for my shaving supplies. Not including you normal medicine cabinet. Also I would want it to be the size of a homes master bedroom. With a couple ferns in there too.

X3 on the urinal! I've run across vintage ones at architectural salvage shops now and then. Surprisingly, they're relatively affordable. Cool old ones can be had for $100-$300 or so. I intend to buy one sooner or later.

Aside from that, I'd put in an old pedestal sink, vintage clawfoot tub, and either a Japanese soaking tub or a Roman bath. The shower would have to be a vintage ribcage. Always wanted one of those.

You know... a small sauna or steam room wouldn't be half bad, either.

The shaving den would probably occupy its own niche with dedicated cabinets and shelving as well as its own dedicated sink.

All I require is a Ferguson, the King of Toilets:

When I was growing up, I had two dreams. One was being an astronaut and landing on the planet Jayne Mansfield. The other was having a bathroom all to myself. Well, Daddy got blown off course and had to crash on a much darker planet. (Al touches Peggy's head.) But family, I'm going to realize my second dream. I'm going to build a bathroom -- the greatest bathroom in the world. And I want you to know something, all of you -- NOBODY USES THAT BATHROOM BUT ME.

My dream bathroom is an open-air enclosure carved out of a mountainside and surrounded by large and otherworldly monoliths.

The toilet is a giant obsidian throne with chiseled inscriptions from languages that are long dead. My deposits are washed away by a glacial stream, down to the villagers below who look like ants from this lofty perch.

The bathroom is attended by three naked virgins of incredible beauty.
One is "The Librarian" who provides me with scrolls to read as I help fertilize the crops below.
Another is "Cotton Maiden" who keeps the TP replenished and measures it out for me with golden shears.
And the last is the "Fire Mistress" who tends a bonfire that heats the jugs of water I use to wash my hands.
Actually wait, they're not virgins anymore.

In 10,000 years, archaeologists will be wondering whether my bathroom had any religious or astronomical significance. Just to screw with them, I'll have the crap receptacle from the throne line up with some significant star(s) during the solstices.

Oh my... that is genuinely hilarious. You're very talented!

Some Info
Dagobert Throne Toilet by Herbeau Creations thronetoilet.jpg If you just bought that big expensive house and are still furnishing the bathroom, stop and read this. You might want to add this to your list of extravagant house hold furnishings! A commode fit for royalty, Herbeau Creations presents the very retro - Dagobert Throne Toilet. Fitted with an ashtray, candle holder, a plaque and a hand painted bowl, this toilet was supposedly inspired by Dagobert, the last ruler of the 8th Century French Merovingian dynasty. Why this toilet was inspired by him is beyond me. Maybe be liked to smoke and poo poo in the dark? Constructed entirely from ash wood and decorated with hand painted Moustier Polychrome designs the toilet has three layers of polyurethane coating. A tug on the pull chain activates the flush, accompanied by the ringing of a bell. You think that’s strange? Well that’s not where it ends. The musical chime "Le Bon Roi Dagobert" (- a song about a king who arrived at the minister's council with his trousers on backwards) begins playing as the lid is raised!

To top it all of it comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturers and can be purchased for the royal sum of $9874. Too extravagant for something you plonk your bums on? You don’t say!

Lots of open space, lots of cabinet space, lots of counter space, a urinal, fogless mirror, and a speaker system (and soundproof walls so I can blast the tunes as loud as I want.

I'd like a bathroom with a British style high cistern chain toilet (I loved these when I lived in England) and an iron claw footed tub. Might even be cool to have some kind of tiny one person sauna. Unsure about the sink and everything else though.
