In order to distract ourselves from the overwhelming anxiety of the quagmire, Noel and I have been obsessively redesigning rooms in the house. Most especially the future bathroom under the stairs, and the upstairs bathroom (which was disconnected during the foundation work).
So after work today I made a brief stop at Expo, to check out some faucets and shower controls I'd been looking at in online catalogs. What I found was deeply disturbing.
For one thing, that dolphin looks angry. For another, it looks like you could seriously hurt yourself on this thing during a slip-and-fall incident. Imagine dying by being impaled on a dolphin faucet. The only thing more embarrassing would be admitting to your fellow dead people how much you had paid for the thing in the first place. It's in the four digits, folks.
If dolphins are not your style, there are a host of other creatures you can get your water from, such as swans
Or disturbing dragon things that may be intended to be goldfish or something more benign.
It won't work in our space, but I have to admit I found this beetly faucet kind of cool.
Yeah. Anyway, I decided on ultra-modern for the powder room, and Edwardian scientist for the upstairs bathroom (think all kinds of knobs and valves and protrusions of gleaming metal). But those are not nearly as exciting as killer dolphins.
