			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in July I wrote about a competition to find <a href="/blog/2010/07/can-you-help-america-find-their-best-bathroom/">America&#8217;s best bathroom</a>.</p>
<p>At the time I had a little dig at the entry from The Fountain on Locust, on account of it&#8217;s complete lack of design restraint.</p>
<p>So you can imagine my shock when I learnt this week that this restroom <a href="http://www.bestrestroom.com/us/Hall_of_Fame/2010/fountain.asp">won the top prize</a>!</p>
<p>Have I lost touch with what makes good design? I&#8217;m all for playfulness, but don&#8217;t you think this is just plain weird?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video from the restaurant to help you make up your mind.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="550" height="437" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/84Ae2Kea3CA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="437" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/84Ae2Kea3CA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I thought The Muse Hotel was the best in that competition!</p>
<p>Since <a href="http://www.bestrestroom.com/canada/">Canada&#8217;s Best Restroom</a> competition is still undecided, I&#8217;m going to have another shot at this.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ve got a gut feeling that the bathroom in <a href="http://www.bestrestroom.com/canada/vote.asp">Mildred&#8217;s Temple Kitchen</a> will win. Those murals are fantastic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We firmly believe that your bathroom is a place for tranquility and peace. A place where you can really relax and have some private time.</p>
<p>However, many people feel that a bathroom can be a place for great expression and intrigue. Fair enough, but would you really want any of these in your bathroom?</p>
<p><strong>Naughty</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://dornob.com/bizarre-bathroom-sink-fixtures-strange-or-sexy/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32" title="sexy-strange-bathroom-sink-designs" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sexy-strange-bathroom-sink-designs.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>Clearly one for the bachelors out there.</p>
<p><strong>Creepy</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33" title="cool_toilet_5" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/cool_toilet_5.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>If you think a creepy clown&#8217;s head is enough to put you off going, consider this &#8211; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UKaEv4NT84&amp;feature=related">this toilet moves</a>!</p>
<p>You really have to wonder about the mind of the person that dreamt this one up.</p>
<p><strong>Hi-tec</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://gizmodo.com/5119681/totos-intelligence-toilet-ii-smartly-measures-the-temperature-of-your-pee-among-other-things"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34" title="intelligence-toilet-toto" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/intelligence-toilet-toto.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something that every gadget lover needs. A toilet that performs a health check whilst you go about your business.</p>
<p>Once it&#8217;s checked your weight, BMI, blood sugar and blood pressure levels, it sends the data to your PC via Wi-Fi. Blimey.</p>
<p><strong>Public (very public)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://bentemplesmith.blogspot.com/2007/07/who-to-piss-on-croc-or-virgin-mary.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-35" title="China Largest Bathroom" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/71083_4.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>Next time you are in Chongqing, China, you could be in for a very unique experience. For this city is host to one of the worlds largest (and certainly most bizarre) public toilets. Not only do you get the choice of 1,000 toilets in the shape of crocodile mouths or the Virgin Mary, a large section of the bathroom is without a roof!</p>
<p><strong>A bit fabulous</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36" title="woodland bathroom" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/woodland-bathroom.jpg_e_9c53654d7f7c9c72667efde1daba6b35.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="310" /></p>
<p>Ahh, now this is more like it. Want to create the sense of space in your bathroom?</p>
<p>This bespoke murial from <a href="http://www.surfaceview.co.uk/bespoke/#home">Surface View</a> really makes a remarkable bathroom &#8211; without the horror.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something unusual, but completely fabulous, in your bathroom be sure to check out our range of <a href="/">Oshi taps</a>.</p>
