We ran across a slideshow entitled "glamorizing the toilet" online at the Chicago Tribune site. It brings together a look at ten ultra exclusive? glamorous? EXPENSIVE toilets and is worth a peek if pricey potties are of any interest (maybe for a giggle?)...

1. Miyabi Collection by Toto, $12,000
2. Julien Bench Toilet by Tory Adams Design, $11,475
3. Neo Comby by Neo-Metro, $5,938

Each of these toilets is unusual in ways other than their price tag, of course:

  • The Miyabi touts hand painted designs in 24 karat gold "to evoke a golden summer day".
  • The Julien features a sliding wood panel to conceal the fixture.
  • The Neo Comby combines commode and toilet in one fixture, which can be powder coated in custom colors.

    But while it's fun to see what the high end manufacturers are coming up with, at the end of the day, we'd have to go for money in the bank over one of these in the bathroom.

    Check out the full slideshow right here at the Chicago Tribune for the rest of the group.
