World's Most Expensive Toilet

I think the bathroom I'd seen in the decorating magazine which I mentioned had a view that was something kind of like this:
but the tub was larger and the shower also had a glass wall with a view of the private garden, and the windows were less visible - it seemed like the bathroom was outside from inside.
I think that true elegance is understated and simple. Good design, ease of use, and I for one would like a Bidet, as they are very useful. Also, a good view of the ocean, preferably a real one.
Jim, that one seems a bit on the "super-spying on the servants" extreme, and not what I would call luxury. I think my perfect bath would be a place to ultimately relax and get away from it all... like an outdoor giant tub in Tahiti. Complete with masseuse & cabana boy with Tequila Sunrises.
Plus, it would have cutting-edge out-of-this-world technology that would allow one to perform those disgusting but necessary eliminations without the need of actually eliminating them directly from your person. They would be, um, zapped into nothingness simply by walking into the commode area. Hence, no need for words like poop in our vocabulary.
I like the toilets that let you choose whether you need a big flush or a little flush.Also the CLIVE non-flushing toilet is pretty awesome, though I don't think it's made for private homes.

I know, I just bet it would be expensive though.

The toilet in the first pic looks...like it would be cold on your butt.Sarah Pi, I was fascinated in Europe by the "big flush/little flush" thing. Which to choose? Which to choose?
Our bathrooms are real small, by the way. I guess I'm ok with that. But I wouldn't mind one like in #2.
I have a magazine rack next to my toilet.
Maybe if the toilet in the first pic had a cushioned seat or something... it kinda looks like a gold-plated hospital bathroom. I mean... gold is pretty cold on the tushie.FYI... my Feng Shui tip of the day was:
Hang a funny cartoon opposite your toilet for a boost in joy & compassion in your life.
I thought that was pretty amusing. I'm sure you have at least one cartoon or comic in that rack, don't you Stefano? :)
RA - it's quite simple which flush to choose, since Heidi has outlawed the p word, I'll just say #1 or #2.BUT some toilets have 3 options! Now that makes it quite confusing. Clean wipes? Or lots of TP for a pee?
I have a small bathroom, so I'd love a nice roomy one with a big big claw bathtub. And windows overlooking a gorgeous view would be utterly wonderful. So you can really zen out lying in the tub. Ahhhh Calgon...

Poo?
I was honestly thinking about starting a poo thread.
DON'T SAY "POOP!"
(you guys are clearly not tuning into my reverse psychology ploy here)
I'd like something with a really big bathtub in it so I can read in the tub and feel comfortable. And... Windows in the bathroom are a must. Big or small, doesn't matter.
When I am visiting my friend, every time I poop I look at Keanu Reeves because he's on the cover of the magazine that's first in the rack.Appropriate, Y/N?

Aw poop, you can only say poo.

He. He's got a huge rack in the bathroom and a huge rack in his living area. He has a coffee table that's collaged with pictures from said magazines but he hasn't changed them since... late April, at least.There was an ad in one of the most recent ones that was using Mongolia to sell some Italian designer and on the back was another pointless ad so I asked him if I could rip it out and he said, "Nooo!!" I asked him why and he said I could rip it out once it hit the bathroom stack, which will probably be next year. Ridiculous.
But this means I can go rip out the pictures of Keanu. I still find him attractive.

Sally wrote: "So I can say "poo" but not "poop"?"See message 17.
Yes. Even in that context. :P Probably more so.
Gah. I would think it should be easy to understand. Poop is always funny. I don't really care if you talk about poop/poo/the marias... or whatever.
Mod
People say that? Um, excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom. I'm working on a huge the marias.
RE:27 and ripping Keanu's picture from the magazine. Don't you have toilet paper? And where marias get involved in this poopy subject.
Mod
I do not know what marias are. Seriously.
Does it have anything to do with Maria's Mexican Restaurant?
No no, this is the good one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbshBh... Where is Maria's Mexican Restaurant? Now I want Mexican food.
Every town has one.But you don't want the marias.

So this started an inquiry that's been rumbling around in the back of my mind since then: impressive toilets/bathrooms? What would they look like? Have I ever been in one that's impressed me? My answer - not that I can think of, but the coolest one I've seen in a picture incorporated a large window view of a private garden outside the large bathtub so that the bathroom looked like it was incorporated into a private garden paradise (I'll dig around to see if I can find a picture). I'm sure it was in a local home decorating magazine and it was several years ago (ugh).
I forgot about it until today when I saw something posted on yahoo about the World's most expensive toilets/washrooms.
Just to give you an idea of what they had in mind:
World's Most Expensive Toilet
Really, I'm not all that impressed with it. It seems gaudy.
What I am curious about, though... what would impress you? Art? Decor? Interesting painting? Efficient use of space? Lots of space? Luxury? Comfortability? Gadgets?
Please refrain from talking about poop. I have faith in you. :)
