If I could afford it, I would buy all these accesories :D<br />Gracyuk bathroomshttp://www.uk.roca.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870022462524233674.post-50094110758977419202013-01-21T15:12:07.183+00:002013-01-21T15:12:07.183+00:00Great post and exactly the gripes I'd have ove...Great post and exactly the gripes I'd have over bathroom 'features'. The mixer tap drives me nuts and for reasons similar to your, I detest those fixed rainfall style shower heads! :)Jenhttp://lovechicliving.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870022462524233674.post-10081705959730655832013-01-15T09:27:23.419+00:002013-01-15T09:27:23.419+00:00Thanks for your comment anon - love it!

Why? Cuz it all means they have hot and cold running water right in the house!<br />When I was little our house only had one cold water faucet...just in the kitchen. No real 'bathroom'--- we had an outhouse. To bathe, we'd take a kettle filled with water, set it on the stove to heat up. We'd put the heated water in the galvanized bathtub which was placed on the floor in the center of the kitchen..then add more cold if the water had gotten too hot. Too cold? Now you have to heat more water on the stove rather than just turning on the hot tap. (You can see that someone was probably helping out if you were a kid cuz you couldn't do all this yourself.) After bath time, you'd have to dump out the water by removing it in buckets then dump it down the drain of the kitchen sink.<br /><br />So complain if you will on all these bathing "atrocities" but I think they're all pretty swell.<br /><br />No...I'm not that ancient (I'm late 50's) but we have to realize that even though some of these bathing/showering things may not be the best for our own particular situation, they all show much more convenience than what I grew up with.<br /><br />In our former home's tiny 3/4 bath with an outward opening shower door, I had words on the wall that said "Simple Pleasures are Life's Treasures". All I had to do was turn on the hot and/or the cold and I could get water the temperature I wanted...and then it just drained down when I was done! Ahhhh..... :-)<br /><br />Are some of the things you've shown less convenient than others? Yes. But it sure does beat what I described above :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
