I stayed in a hotel once with mirrors in front of and behind the toilet, so I could watch myself shit into infinity

I absolutely love when you throw shade at home design.

They’re also great at limiting what kind of Toilet you get to install. That looks terrible.

I have the same problem with this as the interrupted roofline of the house across my street.

Namely, someone looked at it, likely on a CAD screen and said “yeah, that’s good!” A design pox on them.

This is mid-remodel. I asked the project manager use of the facilities. Whilst using said facilities, I couldn’t help but notice that I could see down to my goddamn knees.

Banjo tops with wall-to-wall mirrors do a great job of making smaller baths feel much larger, but a powder room is not supposed to look — or feel — large, in my book. It’s a closet with a sink and a toilet. Yet often people jazz up their powder room, because it the bathroom that your guests are most likely to use. It’s strictly there to impress people.

i was looking at house listings and came across a picture of a chandelier and checked to see if somehow I had been transferred onto DrZ OPPO post

Counterpoint: they suck for when you want to work on your toilet.

The biggest crime with those is when on an open floor plan (large kitchen blending into living room blending into foyer kind of thing), they arbitrarily hang a chandelier 5 feet above the ground as if to say, “THIS is where your dining room table goes. I have made that decision before you even walked through this home. Deal with it.”

Silly lowly Snohomish County dweller, working on things is what laborers do. No one living here is going to stick their hand in any toilet reservoir to jiggle a chain.

Our new-to-us house had that. We disagreed, so now if you lean forward a bit when you get up from one end of the table, you will hit your head

OMG, do I hate that. I had two in my place in San Diego (where I had a living room/foyer/kitchen/nook that all blended together). One I dealt with (just put my dining room table under it), but the other one ended up with a zip-tied loop in the cord so I could walk/work/live under it. I still hate them because they dictate furniture locations to you. My last place had a similar open layout, but the hanging chandelier was all the way to the far end of my dining room table. They expected me to have a little square/round table off to the side in there instead of the 6+’ long one I have. So it was never even and I was annoyed...

So glad that my current place has recessed lights (which are annoying for other reasons) everywhere and they dictate nothing about the furniture locations.

I can’t fathom trying to keep that crap clean in a restroom you barely use... Mine is a big enough PITA and I use it more than most due to the weird lopsidedness of the house design (it’s so bad that they put a hot water circulator in the garage so you can have hot water in the loop at the times of day when you’re going to want hot water in the rear-40 of the house, the only problem is that it depends on power, so when the power goes out it ends up off and it’s enough of a pain to set the time that I just gave up on it). 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a den, and an office all 60-80' from the water heater. Boggles the mind.

Those mirrors that stretch behind the toilet are just as common up here in Vancouver, and I haaaaaaaaate them. I don’t wanna watch myself taking a leak!!

For a while there was this gig where I had to travel on someone else’s nickel — also they made the travel arrangements — and one thing that distinguished the posher hotels is that in every one, the hotel-room bathroom had a banjo-WC-mirror deal like you posted, where you could stand and stare at yourself pissing...or pretend not to notice and look elsewhere haha...

Never figured that one out.
