The Invisible Bathroom

If you have a huge bathroom, you're in the lucky minority. For most people, bathrooms are the smallest room in the home, which might be one reason that clear bathroom accessories are so popular. They take up minimal visual space while performing all the functions of their opaque counterparts. Click below for sources for an "invisible" bathroom...

I have the 2 Cora Carafes from CB2 and while they look nice, I don't recommend them. Because of the way the carafe is designed, it's unavoidable to spill water when you are trying to pour. I'm thinking of taking it to a glassmaker in town to see if they can somehow alter it so that it pours properly.

I started a search for reasonably priced acrylic bath accessories very recently. No luck....until now. Oh how I love IKEA and AT! Thanks so much!

Anyone have other suggestions?

I have found the Smart Cubes online at www.smartfurniture.com. Not only are they less expensive then DWR, but they also have a really bright red finish. The Smart Cube page is here.

I was really hoping not to find an "invisible" commode... ;-)
