1. The year I lived in Baltimore I had a bathroom that was completely that color tile

[Coventina]

2. Pepto-Bismol Pink!!!

The most soothing of all colors!!!

The pointy-breasted mermaid ties it all together!

[AJT]

3. Where's the gold gilded toilet?

[Coventina]

7. It's around the corner, but the seat is a soft-cushion, of course!!

[3catwoman3]

32. I once sat down on one of those soft cushion...

...seats, without knowing such a thing existed, in a very dark restroom. I leaped up, thinking that I had sat on the lap of someone already in there. Very weird moment -

4. When I looked

at the photo it made me happy. Are bathrooms supposed to make us happy? I like it.

[vlyons]

5. It's butt ugly

or should I say, tittie ugly.

[brush]

8. IMO titties are not ugly. As for that bathroom...

[Iggo]

6. Perfect!

[Lochloosa]

9. Nice tit work.... I meant tile work. Damn auto correct.

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Where's the after picture?

[Coventina]

12. Hahaha! That IS the after picture, silly!

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Hey. If you like it, I'm happy for you.

[Coventina]

14. No, this whole thread is a joke.

I got the photo from

16. These are hilarious. I wish you would have used one of their captions. Oh, those poor mattresses and

toilets.

Thanks for the introduction to this site.

[Coventina]

19. It's a great one!!!

[eppur_se_muova]

39. Perhaps it says "Surprise my coconut" ...

why do I not believe that ?

NB: Thanks to my blood pressure medication, I can nearly black out from laughing too hard.

[ret5hd]

11. Now that's class! I'd drop a load there any day!

[sarge43]

15. Let's see the master bedroom

It must be that tasteful and elegant.

[Coventina]

20. Of course!! Here it is!!

[sarge43]

24. That lamp alone says it all

Early Storyville Baroque

35. Someone REALLY likes Disney and Barbies

That bedroom gives off the aura of "if Barbie and Cinderella were sisters, this is exactly the room they'd have."

If you had a little girl who loved Disney princesses, that would be perfect for her.

[UTUSN]

17. I would cringe stepping on the gal but excellent craft

[left-of-center2012]

18. Uh - no

You asked.

[Coventina]

21. Hehehehe!

I was only kidding!

[Polly Hennessey]

22. Oh, Coventina,

I so wanted to make you happy. Pretty in Pink was my vision for you. I could see you in pink tulle, in your pink bathroom, your pink lips smiling as you sipped your glass of pink Pepto Bismol. I like the idea of a gold toilet. Are you related to Donald Trump. Don't disappoint me. 😆

[Coventina]

23. So sorry....

But no, at least, not to my knowledge!

I do know someone who attended an event at his house (long before he ran for president) and verified that yes, the toilet was indeed gold, or looked gold anyway.

She also mentioned he was a big jerk. No surprise there.....

[Liberal Veteran]

25. I've rarely seen so much future regret in a single picture.

Absolutely no counter space.

[Coventina]

26. pshaw! Counter space?

Next you'll be telling me I should install counters in my kitchen!!

[Liberal Veteran]

28. You could use the top of the salmon pink toilet, I suppose for counter space.

Unless it is cleverly disguised, it seems to be missing one.

[Tanuki]

27. Until you said you were joking, I was going to suggest you post the picture here:

[Coventina]

31. That is awesome!!

Thanks for that!

[IADEMO2004]

29. I like starting the day with a smile and this would be a great start.

A camera for first-timer reactions could be fun.

[Kleveland]

30. I just can't un-see that now, can I? n/t

[Neema]

33. I once toured a house where that bathroom would be the most sedate and tasteful room in it.

It was before I had a smartphone, when we were looking for our first house. If I'd had a smart phone, I would have taken so many pictures because words truly cannot describe how much this place burned one's retinas with its tackiness. The agent kept telling us that "it was all cosmetic" and to look past it to the bones of the place.

But beyond the owner's horrible furniture and tacky-ass knick-knacks (think clowns, stuffed geese and teddy bears in costumes, and crystal god-knows-what on EVERY available surface), she'd done so much that would have to be replaced. The hot pink, white or turquoise shag carpet in every room, all the banisters replaced with brass straight out of an 80s strip club, the garish, bas relief tile in the bathrooms, the hot pink and gold bathtub, the floor-to-ceiling built-in mirrored shelving (to display all those collections), the horrendous, flouncy cabinets, scalloped countertops, pink, gold and turquoise backsplash and mosaic kitchen sink. Technically I guess you could call it cosmetic, but it would have cost easily $50,000 to replace all that with finishes I could stand looking at every day.

At least the pointy-boobed mermaid would make me laugh every day.

34. The mermaid takes away from the "institutional-ness" of it

[FSogol]

36. Why does the ping-pong playing Merlady have a belly button nipple?

[Coventina]

37. Um.....I'm going to go with.....

It's simply a third nipple, because mermaids hatch from eggs and don't have umbilical cords?

[csziggy]

38. Other than the mermaid, this reminds me of the bathrooms in my sister in law's house

Each one was a different color - pink, blue, green, lavender, and aqua. The lavender bathroom was the only one they changed since the tile was set into a cement backing and would have been almost impossible to remove for a reasonable amount. For the lavender bathroom, they painted the tub and wall tile white with an epoxy paint. They tore out the lavender toilet and sink and replaced with white ones. The three boys that had to use that bathroom until they left for college really appreciated the change!

My Mom's house is similar - the master bath is blue, the "girl's" bath is pink, and the upstairs "boy's" bath is harvest gold. The worst is the tacky guest half bath - it has ornate brass fixtures that are hard to clean and a brass color decorative band around the sink. Again, they were really well made with everything set in a cement base. The only things that have been replaced were the toilets since the originals had non-standard parts and replacements have been impossible to find for at least thirty years.

40. The nipple in the belly button area is a nice touch

The unnaturally shaped breasts are also a delight.
