Another floating wardrobe

There's a theory that this makes the room look larger.

There's a penchant for brick wallpaper here. 

Have to admit they did a lovely job of the sandstone block wallpaper on the outside though

The basic ones are about £1300, but TOTO are a luxury brand.. In Japan you can get them for around £500 from other manufacturers.

You can also buy a basic one and fit a seat with the bidet built in. Panasonic used to sell them here, and other brands still do.

The main issue is that they need power. UK regs make that difficult in a bathroom. Maybe why we are stuck with 19thb century bogs.

I agree that modern manufacture is not of the quality of years gone by but the reason we have the same design is probably because they are perfectly adequate for the job. 25 years as a nurse has given me a pretty good grasp of the necessary hygiene and infection control required for everyday life and I would like to reassure you that this area of your person, which is neither generally presented to the public nor in contact with food prep areas, does not require anything more than is generally practiced.  As long as you wash your hands properly and do not sit bare ar**d on your kitchen work tops I think you can be rather more relaxed about this.

The floating wardrobe man has branched into kitchen fitting.

In my old place, I had a very old  chest of drawers that I eventually broke up when I moved (charity shop didn't even want it ) but for temp storage to use it I managed to lift and put it into an alcove between the chimney breast and wall - it was such a tight fit that I realised later that it was sitting on top of the skirting board on three sides!

Do embarrassing street names reduce property values?

It's not so much about hygiene as comfort. We could all live just fine without many of the things invented in the last century, like the internet, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't aspire to a better quality of life.

The reduction in the use of toilet paper is good for the environment too.

I think this is a constant problem in the UK. People just accept things as they are, don't even aspire to better.

Might have something to do with the Estate Agents name?
