Brush and Flush
Last week I dropped off my son at boarding school. A part of adjusting to dorm life is sharing a bathroom and establishing a new bath time routine. As I was moving him into his room, we obviously went over his “brush and flush” bath time assignment. Although his new bathroom situation looks quite different from the homes I design, the idea that everyone has to “brush and flush” inspired this week’s blog topic. The bathroom is a sacred place in the home where we spend an extraordinary amount of time. Is it time to give yours a lift? Here are my recommendations to elevate your space.
Rockwall Lavatory by The Water Monopoly, with a painted yellow sherbert close coupled cistern, wooden seat and flush handle. Life seems pretty sunny with this loo. While it will have to ship from across the pond and your plumber might punch you, it’s worth it. £1,580.00
Eco Promenade by TOTO features an elongated bowl, E-Max flushing system, and streamlined, close-couple design. This guy is my go-to. Always a pleasure. $644
The Kathryn by Kohler captures the classic look of the 1930s with its angular lines and molded edges. A decorative workhorse. I love this toiled in White and in the unexpected Cashmere colorway. $898
The Cimarron by Kohler provides form and function without breaking the bank. The two-piece style blends with traditional or contemporary decor, while an elongated bowl offers extra room for comfort. Cheap and Cheerful. $249
Upgrade your toilet seat! This Solid Oak Wood Toilet Seat by Magnus Home Products has a solid oak construction and rich finish that will give your bathroom a lift. Multiple hinge finishes available.
R.W. Atlas Wall Mounted Three Piece Paper Holder by Waterworks is the ultimate luxury... And who doesn’t need a $700 toilet paper holder? Available in my favorite un-lacquered brass finish which is the gift that keeps on giving.
For those tight spaces, you need the Acrylic And Polished Nickel Toilet Paper Storage Tower by CB2. Is your powder room clad in beautiful wallpaper? Give your toilet paper rolls the elegance and glam they deserve.
Regardless of your toilet selection, remember to please be neat and wipe the seat.
