apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

These are great. I still don't understand why we haven't brought over a type of toilet popular in Japan that features a small sink above the tank - you wash/rinse your hands with the water filling the tank. I guess we just can't separate the idea that any water associated with a toilet is tainted, and that turning around to another fixture changes the water?

I find the pic up there intriguing. That must be a very secluded beach, but if I saw a boat out there, I'd probably have a hard time doing my business. 8^O
