My wife always puts on lid covers. Kind of shag. Also has a carpet that wraps around the front of the toilet. She likes that kind of thing. Two of our three bathrooms have that. She is also into throw rugs. One in front of each sink and as you get out of the tub. Not as exciting as the one in the picture though.
Nope... never saw anything like that here.
Maybe just a Scottish thing???
More in schools maybe for the boys who never lifted the seat these were static.. if I remember right..although that one in the picture can be lifted.. Seems more for children.. http://www.plumbware.co.uk/product/infant-toilet-pan/
The second spoiler photo was absolutely monastic compared to the decor of the ensuite bathroom of the apartment I rented in Madeira. The tub was draped in several layers of frilly swag curtains and the rest of the bathroom was only marginally less "impressive."
Try as I might and even though I looked down at my genitalia for reassurance, I could not help feeling like Cinderella getting into her coach every time I took a shower. It was like Walt Disney gone mad.
The owner told me that the bathroom decor had been made by his mother, and that she had done likewise with the other apartments in the house.
I don't think germs even were known by the general public until around the fifties and even then not everyone actually believed in them....
Oh yes, we did had the news about germs in the Fifties. We most certainly did believe in them too, but not as much as we believed in God and America. But this was healthily counter-balanced by the belief that you ate a peck of dirt before you died (you just tried not to do it all at once.)
However, there was absolutely nothing then on the order of the poop, pee & toilet obsession that one encounters over and over again in C-D forums. I'm coming to the conclusion that this must be a new American pornography for "nice people." My favorite was on "flying poop particles" in the bathroom, which enjoyed a level of hysteria not seen in America since the Salem witch trials.
A far cry from these wonderful photos of days gone by and their live with it, celebrate it and decorate for it gaiety.
Looks like something you'd see in Japan. They have...unusual stuff. And their homes are spotless to the point of sterile.
