Whoa now, hold on there. Before you start commenting away on the above tub, wondering if we've lost our mind, let us finish. Now you'll definitely understand us when we ask you if you have ever come across a design where you thought to yourself "WTF was that person thinking when they designed that piece of furniture or decorated that room?" C'mon, 'fess up. We know you have. (We've seen evidence of it in these posts.) The Moggit girls, Joy and Janet, are right there with you.
Correction. They already took the words right out of your mouth.
A "What the Fug?" for the home design set, you'll get a laugh out of their some of their finds, sure that they're a joke. They're real. About other finds, you'll scratch your head, wondering what's wrong. And then they'll hit you with their pithy zinger and you'll find yourself embarrassed. Because it's their take on what they find that's priceless. They'll mess with your head...and your home and your sense of good taste. To add a good chuckle to your day, click here.

I love that tub, does anyone actually think 'WTF were they thinking?' when looking at that?
Umm... yeah.
Here.
Me.
I really don't understand putting upholstered items in a bathroom where the fabrics have a higher chance of breaking down.
That, and it's really quite unpretty.
Totally agree re: upholstered items in the bathroom, but as far as I can tell, the bathtub in the pic isn't upholstered. It looks like ceramic molded to look like upholstered fabric.
I love tufting! I would totally have this tub, a fuzzy rug, and a Ghost Chair.
LOVE.
Can I just say...thank you for this bit of entertainment at the end of this very long and slow day at work. I will be adding this to my google reader. :)
I actually adore that tub--since it appears to be a ceramic or porcelain press and not actual fabric.
And you know what? I'll say it, WHY NOT have some sort of awesome vinyl upholstered tub if you're the type of careful person who could pull that off? I'm too much of a disaster, but thumbs up to anyone who could.
Ummm, I also kind of love the tub. I't fun.
I'm not sure about this. It looks like it's wrapped in giant maxi pads.
I think that's upholstered in vinyl, not a ceramic look-alike.
Anyone who thinks it's NOT a nightmare has never lived with white vinyl. It collects dust in the tufting, any innocuous spill of shampoo or other substance will cause it to chemically discolor over time, it can crack if to much UV light hits it, etc. etc.
I like my fun and fantastic decor, but this does NOT qualify! (I linked thru to see the Swarovski crystal covered toilet, too. Funny to see, especially for the $75,000 price tag, but imagine trying to clean it! Yikes! It's not like a toilet is ever JUST decorative, after all!)
Anybody who could afford that could afford a maid to keep it spotless.
I think it's tufted vinyl, and it looks just fine. Vinyl holds up to moisture well, and in that setting it won't be exposed to a lot of (or any) direct midday sun.
